Movement among band members.

HATEBREED have officially confirmed their split with Victory Records and have announced a new deal with Universal Records via vocalist Jamey Jasta’s own Stillborn label, who will issue the group’s next studio effort, entitled Perseverance, in January 2002. HATEBREED are presently in pre-production for the album at Planet Z Studios with their old drummer Matt Byrne, who is assisting the group during the recording process but will not be permanently rejoining the group following Rigg Ross’ recent departure from the fold. A producer and studio will be announced in the next few days. Check out the tentative track listing for Perseverance:

1. Unbreakable

In a recent interview with www.rightupfront.com, Jasta offered the reasons for their split with Victory Records. According to the frontman, "It's just basically that we needed to get out of our deal because they [Victory Records] were ripping us off… We just want to get it out and not live like bums anymore. So we can get paid for what we do rather than having someone else get paid for us."
