The tour celebrates the seminal and classic album Perseverance, which turned 20 years old this year. The record remains one of the most important and impactful albums of the new millennium. So of course the Grammy-nominated, Connecticut hardcore crew is going back on the road to celebrate with the most brutal breakdowns and anthemic singalongs the scene has ever known.
Today, the band has announced that former guitarist Sean Martin, who was a member of the band during the Perseverance era, will be joining them on the tour!
“We had such a blast having Sean come out to perform songs with us on our 25th anniversary tour that we thought it could be even more fun to have him come out again to celebrate the anniversary of the album that changed our lives for the better,” exclaims singer Jamey Jasta.
“I’m looking forward to sharing the stage with my good friends, smashing some riffs, and raising some hell in celebration of twenty years of Perseverance. TWENTY YEARS!!! SO SICK!!! Can’t wait to see you all out there! EEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!!!!!!”

ABOUT HATEBREED:
Hatebreed remain one of the most relevant and impactful acts in the hard rock and metal scenes. The Grammy-nominated, Connecticut band is celebrating over 25 years of ruthless breakdowns, pit-stirring anthems, and poignant lyrics across eight albums and consistently sold-out shows. The band, which has gone from playing basements and backyards to being a featured worldwide attraction on countless festivals and high-profile tours from OzzFest to Warped Tour to Download, recently released Weight of the False Self, via Nuclear Blast. Weight of the False Self and Hatebreed were described by Forbes as “more relevant than ever in the metal and hardcore communities.” It was also praised as a “return to their hardcore roots” by Brooklyn Vegan. The album was deemed “one of their most aggressive to date” by Consequence and “pummeling” by Revolver, while Psychology Today called it “a blazing combination of extreme metal and hardcore punk.” Hatebreed, nearing a quarter of a billion catalog streams, continue to be one of the most vital bands in the hard rock scene.
