I really appreciate your videos man, but I just can't see how you couldn't also say how emotionality intelligent some of Panteras music is! Lots of their lyrical content is about such deep subjects. Shedding skin, hard lines sunken cheeks, uplift, 10s, just Phil's lyricism was so poetic I think and he had such a way of putting words together to convey deep subjects Keep it up man! Killer video

[@iknowbroikno]

I was a black kid who grew up in the late 90s 2000's hardcore scene. Hatebreed got me through some dark times in my life. not fitting in with hardcore kids due to racism in he day and not fitting in with black kids because i liked hardcore and metal. among other issues I was having in my life at the time reading lyrics and listening to hatebreed brought me back from the edge.

[@michaelsantangelo7997]

@@dcfromthev You're awesome for making it through. I try to fight racism through actions not just words. I lived in Eric Garner's neighborhood and I got pretty involved in the community. I did many protests for justice for Eric Garner. At the time I was on the board of directors of peace action of Staten Island. We worked really closely with Staten Island against racism and police brutality. We helped provide support to Eric Garner's family and to get school supplies for the schools his kids went to. White people need to start getting outraged about racism. We can't leave it up to black people to fix a problem they did not create. I wish there were more anti racist anthems in metal.

[@underworlddreams9511]

Been a metal guy since I was about 3 years old, and I have about 4 or 5 Hatebreed songs I really like. They're a decent group. I can't seem to finish one of their albums in one sitting because about halfway through I get bored listening to it.

[@theicedevil]

@Luke You hear Metal because Hatebreed are a Metalcore band. Their sound is rooted in both Hardcore and Metal. Traditional Hardcore is rooted in the Punk scene so for Metal enthusiasts who don't like Punk and Hardcore, their Hardcore sound is very obvious, which can be a turnoff for some Metalheads. When I first listened to Hatebreed, my first interpretation of them was a Hardcore band that stole Slayer riffs. My opinion has shifted since then. I'm not the biggest fan of the band. The music is good, but not amazing. It's Jasta's lyrics that really grab onto me. Everything that is said in this video is exactly why I like this band.

[@chetramsteak]

This video single-handedly turned me onto Hatebreed, and I can't thank you enough for making it! To give some context, I've been well aware of them for years, having heard and enjoyed "Destroy Everything" and "I Will Be Heard" years ago on Headbanger's Ball when I was in high school. However, I've never been much into hardcore music (I've always been more into heavier metal genres than the many flavors of core - with a few exceptions), and never gave them much forethought. Now, years later, I'm working towards serious self-improvement, being a huge fan of Jordan Peterson and other empowering thinkers (including you), and have started to make strides to turn my life around. Once I saw this video in my recommended feed, I figured "hey, let's see what Finn has to say", and well... I think you hit it spot on. Hatebreed really is misunderstood genius (and I was one of the many who, for years, misunderstood them in the way you described at the beginning of the video). Instantly after watching this video, I went on a Hatebreed binge, and I've been stuck on it for at least a few weeks now. I don't think I've ever found music as motivational and inspiring as what Jamey and co. have put out, and it's really helping me to fight my most recent bout of depression and power through some of the BS that I've put myself in from years of nihilism, apathy, and neglect. If I had to pick any other music that I've heard that really lights a fire under my ass like Hatebreed's music does, I'd say it'd be Mudvayne's album 'Lost and Found'. But even then, it's a bit more angsty and emotional (for lack of a better term) than Hatebreed's music, and doesn't quite push me like Hatebreed does. Thanks again, Finn!

The song was perfect for what I was going through and those lyrics were just perfect and now are my anthem. I find it unbelieveable how much I felt that those lyrics was just the thing I needed. Now is the time for me to rise to my feet wipe your spit from my face wipe this tears from my eyes I swear to live by those lyrics.

Grew up in Connecticut, and I discovered Hatebreed when I was going through a dark time myself, and it helped me. I still listen to their stuff when I feel down or need a kick in the ass. I've been to Hatebreed shows in local small venues in Connecticut and never experienced violence from the crowd, there seemed to be a great respect in the Hardcore Scene for them in New Haven. Supposedly there was a short time I might have even been in the same high school as Jamey Jasta. But I don't remember him and he probably didn't know me. But his music did help me through a lot.

Im from Connecticut, New London CT. We used to have a banger club called the El N Gee club. Hatebreed played there all the time when coming up. In 2003, when the place was going under, they played a show and donated all the funds to keep it alive. I got love for them.

I went to a hatebreed show in 1997 or 98 in Danbury Ct that was the most ridiculous display of violence that I’ve ever seen. At one point the band members stopped playing their instruments and jumped into the crowd and started fighting the bouncers. The whole place turned into a full scale riot like a scene out of roadhouse. There were beer bottles smashing all over the place, windows getting knocked out, doors to the venue being smashed down, I saw a guy lift up the sound board and smash it on the ground. The bouncers that weren’t able to flee were covered in blood. They had to call in the riot squad and they arrived holding the shields. That’s the craziest show I’ve ever been to and during the 90’s at a hatebreed show you always felt like you were a second away from something like that happening

Hardcore kid, now hardcore adult/dad, and grew up in the scene in CT in the late 90s. Satisfaction Is The Death of Desire single handedly opened the door for my generation of kids who had no idea what hardcore was, and Hatebreed brought sooooooo many bands through that where going from NY to boston. It was definitely the thing for a while to shit on them, but I think the older the scene got the more people recognized how damn grateful we should be for them. I know for me, I wasn't getting to American Nightmare or Verse without Hatebreed first.

I think Hatebreed suffers from the Cannibal Corpse curse- where people think you're the most basic band of the genre, while not knowing you did it first. So stuff in their music people think of as done to death is really just the hundreds of imitators they've heard before getting to the original. And hardcore is all about shit you can scream into the mic in the two second you have after pushing off your friends shoulders.....they have to keep it kinda simple lol

[@murk4552]

@@baptizednblood6813 Cannibal Corpse began that whole blend of Grind and Brutal Death Metal, Suffocation called their version of East Coast Hardcore "Slam Death". In the UK, you could say around the same time Carcass also innovated that sound. You have At The Gates from Sweden with Melodic Death Metal merging into Metalcore.

[@baptizednblood6813]

Murk Suffocation was one that came to mind but I can see how their stylistically different enough that their not really similar. What about Broken Hope though? I don’t know who came first, with swamped in festering gore or butchered at birth but one can’t deny Broken Hope also epitomized a grinding death sound on that album. I think Phlegm is also an unsung innovator of death metal as well as Impetigo. I could see CC drawing inspiration from those bands as well. Anyway I’m just trying to nerd out at this point, I don’t know what I’m talking about anyway, just like speculating metal haha. Plus I do like CC so I’m not trying to trash or take anything away from their contributions to the genre

Thank you for making this. I’m glad you’re saying something that definitely needs to be said. Hatebreed has absolutely helped save my life multiple times.

His words are as sincere as it gets in music, and I have nothing but respect for the fact that instead of romanticizing pain & emotional suffering, he chose to be resolute. I can’t imagine how many people were in a bad way and spiraling down, and his words made a difference. That’s part of why music is the best part of life….and you can’t quantify just how powerful it can be.
