Hatebreed à l'Echoplex, Los Angeles

Originaire du Connecticut, Hatebreed, equipped with their perfected ritual of aggression, rode onto Los Angeles to lay waste to The Echoplex avec une soirée d'euphonie, de libération et de headbanging.

À peine 9 jours après le début d'une tournée célébrant leur plus récent album The Concrete Confessional, c'était le deuxième arrêt en Californie du Sud de ce périple de 25 jours. 

With 11 records worth of material under their belts, Hatebreed came strong with a heavy mixture of old and new cuts from their 22-year existence that noticeably pleased the rabid attendees and kept the energy levels at a zenith.

Comme prévu, le mosh pit était en pleine action.

It would be an understatement to say the triumph, appreciation and unity was simply present within the four walls of the Echoplex that night.
