UMUR
Supremacy is the 4th full-length studio album by American hardcore/ metal act Hatebreed. The band switched labels from Universal to Roadrunner Records for this release. The 3 years between the release of The Rise of Brutality (2003) and Supremacy were more or less spend constantly touring. Hatebreed are one of the most busy and hard working touring acts in metal.

The music on the album is a mix of hardcore and metal. Hard hitting and relentlessly aggressive. Jamey Jasta´s vocals are some of the most convinsingly aggressive vocals I´ve heard in a while. you´ll of course also experience the trademark hardcore riot gang/ bully choir backing vocals on several of the songs. The music varies from mid- to fast paced metallic hardcore to brick heavy breakdowns. There are 13 tracks on the album. All are 3 minutes or less in playing time. These are short, simple and powerful tracks. Made to work in a live environment. Acts like Pro-Pain and Sick of it All are valid references.

While the album certainly is very enjoyable, the production by Zeuss is powerful and professional and the musicianship is excellent, the songs are a bit too formulaic in the end for my taste. Of course with songs like Defeatist, Mind Over all and Destroy Everything the band kick so much ass that my taste is blown to bits and I´m sure others won´t find the lack of adventurous ideas much of a problem. I can´t quite give the 4 but it´s a big 3.5 star rating.
