In a sea of imitators there is only one Hatebreed. Perhaps the heaviest, most punishing band of all time, Hatebreed defines hardcore; abrasive, in-your-face, pummeling aggression. This is music for angry people, or at the very least those who can channel their inner demons. Want to hear the most devastating breakdowns in your life? Listen to Satisfaction is the Death of Desire , my vote for heaviest album of all-time. It's scary how ferocious it is. Ironically Jamey Jasta's lyrics are all about hope and redemption, which creates an interesting dynamic against the thunderous backdrop of their music.

Celebrating their "Ten Years of Perserverance Tour" Hatebreed is making a Buffalo pit stop tonight along with other bands of the heavy persuasion including All Shall Perish, White Chapel and the hilariously named Deez Nutz. Town Ballroom's the place (6:30pm, $23) Expect spin kicks, chants and angry faces. None more Heavy...Smash your Enemies.
