Hatebreed

The hard rock act Hatebreed had been around for a few years before it signed to a major label for its 2002 album, Perseverance. That album became a huge breakthrough for the group and firmly put it on the hardcore/metalcore musical map. it represented a breakthrough not just for Hatebreed but for heavy music in general. A song such as the anthemic "I Will Be Heard" features parched vocals and heavy percussion. The song delivers a real sense of urgency as Jamey Jasta screams lines like "I won't accept this fate." Hatebreed’s tour marking the album’s 20th anniversary comes to the Agora tonight. Expect the band to revisit a handful of tunes from Perseverance. The show starts at 6 p.m. Gatecreeper, Bodysnatcher and Dying Wish open.
