When I was going through brain cancer last year everyday when I woke up sick to my stomach from treatment I would listen to the song Perseverance right when I got up and it helped me fight and beat my cancer, cancer free for a year already 😎🤘🏻👊🏻

It's Insane how Hatebreed was formed just to write the opening song for PRMBA's KZfaq channel.

Hatebreed is like the badass uncle everyone needs, telling you what you need to hear

"Defeatist .. you and I will never be the same" still resonates with me to this day

"I was born to bleed fighting to succeed, Built to endure what this world throws at me"...Helps me get through the day sometimes

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. I hate to sound cheesy but without bands like Hatebreed and Circa Survive, I would be dead today, i would have never met my wife and never had my amazing daughter.

I’ve been telling people about this for 15 years. Hatebreed is the most positive hard-core metal band ever was and ever will be. Thank you for this video. It puts the most metal tear in my eye.

"How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today, I must control my self to control my destiny" my favorite line of all their songs..

My daily hatebreed's lyrics is "if you don't live for something you will die for nothing"

Hard yes to this! Alienated hardcore black kid back in the day that ended up getting into weight lifting and heavily inked, Hatebreed is chicken noodle soup for the soul. Jamey Jasta's lyrics remind me of rap lyrics at times with overcoming adversity and addressing haters, so it was an instant win for me. Thanks for defending the fans on this.

“Once had a shotgun to my head they said I wasn’t worth the bullets” “Now the world is my trigger and I’m gunna Fucking pull it”

I was a gangster rap person. Until my first hardcore show in Detroit at the Shelter. Earth Crisis leading and Hatebreed opening. Scare the shit outta me when I saw how big some of them dudes in the pit were. Nowhere to run. The crowns tightens around you as everyone tries to get closer. You just gotta deal. It was a great rush. Last Breath is what roped me though. I use them when I need a push.

Jamie's lyrics have helped more people than he could possibly know. Hatebreed songs are cathartic

“I was at a street fight once and a Hatebreed show broke out.”

In my darkest hour their music saved my life as a 37+ year old woman. The lyrics are incredible, raw, honest and hopeful. Also it has the ability to drive away dark minded people. I sing my being out and am free to go forward unrestricted. This is my all time favorite band in all ways. Thanks to sin who was 14 when he introduced me to the this amazing band.

I was at the concert, where they filmed Destroy Everything. Jasta stopped mid song, because he saw someone go down in the mosh pit and got this guy help. As you can see in the video, there were 20,000 people there, and it was wild! But because of Jasta we all watched out for each other. Dude is a legend!

This is going to sound lame but this video legitimately did help me. I’m going through a really crappy breakup where my ex girlfriend cheated on me and lied to me for 3 months while stringing me along. It’s a super toxic situation but reading some of those lyrics and trying to put a more positive spin on my outlook is something I definitely need to do to get back on track and not let this situation eat at me like it has. Thank you for this.

Hatebreed is one of the most positive bands ever. Strength, struggle, honor. That is what Hatebreed is about. That being said, Social Distortion is still one of the most important bands in my history. But the Ned Flanders was hilarious

"Satisfaction is the Death of Desire" was absolutely amazing.

The last time I saw Hatebreed was 2019 when they played with Terror. A few of us tripped over each other in the pit and I ended catching a knee to the face and got split open. I was 41 at the time. I can’t stay away from shows or the pit. I still get goosebumps every time I go to a show , I love hardcore. I always will

That one meme where the dude is talking to the uninterested girl who is staring off into the distance: “Yeah, so they’re called Hatebreed. And they’re actually way deeper than most people give them credit for. You see this tattoo? ....”

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's noticed how wholesome hatebreed really is

“Talk to me after you’ve been up for 3 days in downtown LA doing coke.” Oh man. Words can’t describe how awful that feeling is. And it was awesome hearing how you found the right emotions in music that helped you moved past that horrible state of mind.

Gojira is another band that has a lot emotional intelligence fused into their music. I have the lyrics from The Link tattooed on my arm as a reminder live with integrity. "Be the link, you create what you are"

You should have brought back the straight to your face intro for this Edit: nevermind

Hatebreed is literally the first band I ever saw perform live. Not on purpose either. I was 12 years old and went to the 2007 free Ozzfest and Hatebreed just happened to be the band that was playing when I arrived. Never heard of them at the time (I was there for Ozzy). Definitely a fantastic introduction to live music.

I have been through a lot trauma. When I found I will be heard in high school, it got me through. Their music helps me deal with intense feelings. I love it.

I remember a friend lending me his Perseverance album. By the end of the week I was obsessed. What a band!

*The "Doomsayer" breakdown is still the most filthy breakdown in the history of breakdowns. BREAKDOWNS!* *YOUR DOOM AWAITS YOU!*

I don't have an opinion on Hatebreed- I'm a metal guy, never got far into hardcore- but Finn, this is one of the best videos you've done.

My cousin is the bassist. We used to play Star Wars when we were little back in Bridgeport CT. I'd go to their house & all their Star Wars figures were decapitated. They got the GI Joe Flagg. That's one GI Joe toy I never really wanted. I moved South & we lost contact because their phone was disconnected.

Fuck no! Hatebreed absolutely saved my life. In my darkest hour when I was ready to end my life. I only had my mp3 playing their songs like perseverance, live for this and this is now playing and felt the will to continue returning and stepped off the edge. Looking back I know I would have jumped without their music. And the more they release, the more I know they care and want others to strive and flourish. I really wish I could thank them in person for saving my life. My babies wouldn’t be here being the absolute best anything in my life. My mother would have had the last laugh and my dad would have bragged about been right about me.

"which is why hatebreed has to be hatebreed and not lovebreed." best quote

The lyrics of Perseverence is the best lyrics of all times. If u hvnt listen to it go do it even if u r not a metalhead

I’ve seen Hatebreed around 16 times live over the years. I have never seen any putt of control violence at their shows. They have always been fun experiences. Jamie’s lyrics are very inspiring. They are my favourite heavy band of all time.

As a metalhead i always loved their gigs, pure energy. And I always felt like they were some kind of hardcore paladins

People who don’t like them have never read their lyrics. Hatebreed has gotten me through some really dark times

"ITS YA BOI RAID SHADOW LEGENDS"

I just heard the opening lines of Perseverance, and I almost started bawling. And I haven’t cried in years. It describes exactly what I am going through, how I feel and the way I feel it.

“This is now”The rift got me listening and the lyrics hit home. Then I started digging for more and more heat read songs with lyrics that I could identify with. Looking down the barrel of today and this is now got me through some tough times.

Perseverance absolutely changed my life. I have that word tattooed across my chest. Hearing that album when it dropped when I was in the 7th grade was such a game changer of an album for me in so many ways.

Being from Connecticut, have to say these guys are legends!!! Jamie is a huge inspiration around here for how hard he works in the music industry considering CT gets shadowed between NYC and Boston. Great to see them getting some love!

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.

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.

Merry Christmas Eve Finn and Lynn! Same goes to everyone watching this video!

A lot of these Hatebreed lyrics remind me of Killswitch Engage in a way--intense, yet positive and defiant. Bravo once again, Finn!

I started listening to Hatebreed last year and fell in love with their message I listened to "I will be heard" like Finn said: in the right moment, at the right place, 'cause I was going through a difficult time with my family and going to therapy to deal with it better, so, the song in question helped me a lot into making the decision to finally kick out my drunk ass step father. 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.

"This is now" is the song for me. So uplifting and gives me the strength. I'm in recovery, done many years in prison, made horrible choices but fight everyday for life. Great video. Love it, love Hatebreed, you're awesome

I don’t normally like to be the “this band changed my life” type of guy. But I gotta say hatebreed had helped me out of some pretty dark times in my life. Their lyrics are that nice truthful smack across the face that you need when you start to feel sorry for yourself. I’m going through some more shit in my life and whenever I begin to think dark thoughts I just play hatebreed and it give me that extra shot of motivation that I need!

“Negative, self-loathing bullshit.” Dude, I can’t express enough how much the punk scene’s “ I’m not good enough for anything/let’s get drunk ‘til the end of time” dictated my life and also, my friends lives. God I wish I wasn’t such an idiot. I swear I thought all I was good for was working in a factory and listening to punk. That was life....

Here in Brazil 🇧🇷 there's a phrase that goes like this: "Rap saved my life" is even used on t-shirts but I say it's "Hardcore that saved my life" and this statement in this video shows that well. Thank you Priest Jasta and band!

Their music is powerful af, they helped me get through leukemia and don’t give up. For that reason alone they will always have a special place in my heart.

Their message was great no doubt, but lets also give love to how insanely catchy their riffs were, especially on Satisfaction and Perseverance. Not only did the message uplift but those breakdowns and groove riffs always had me floored.

I gotta say I enjoy the fact that you’re putting more of yourself into your videos lately. Hearing how you connect with Hatebreed is so much cooler than just talking through their timeline or something like lots of other videos out there.

I OD'ed years back now and luckily a cop was able to save me and I decided to get clean and during that time I listened to a ton of Hatebreed to get through it. I also wanted to keep myself motivated everyday so I got"Born to bleed fighting to succeed. Built to endure what this world throws at me" tattooed on my chest. I still look at it every morning in the mirror and it keeps me motivated to this day.

I discovered Hatebreed earlier this year when I was going through a really tough time, and I listen to them so much on Spotify that Spotify wrapped told me I was in the top 0.01% of their fans for the year, and I only started listening to them more than Midway through the year. I love this band!

First time I heard Hatebreed...”I will be heard” on the XXX soundtrack 🤘🤘

i really can't comprehend putting these guys in the same group as five finger donkey punch.....

In Brisbane in 2013, Jamie saw me try photobomb, then asked me if I wanted a photo with him when he saw me hanging around. Really appreciated that.

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 Amity Affliction is another band that falls in line with that lyrical duality you talked about. That band has definitely played a huge part in giving me that extra little boost to get my head out of my ass and get my life together. I'm now 4 years clean and sober,have full custody of my kids and have and amazing woman in my life that has shown me the kind of love i never knew existed.

A few of their songs really hit home for me and helped me as a teenager when I felt alone and hopeless. I grew up in a broken and toxic home and was sure i was going to be loser. Im almost 30 now, ended all of my self destructive habits, im engaged to an amazing woman, doing great at work and about to buy my first home.

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.

This has been my favorite video of yours, so far. Thanks for opening up a little bit and sharing the same message of self reliance and positivity as bands like this 👍🏻

I remember seeing hatebreed by mistake the night they were filming perseverance. It literally changed my life.

"Takes you to the place where you're just staring into the abyss of anger, depression, and addiction" *gives Emmure the side eye*

I saw them in 2007 when they headlined the 2nd stage at Ozzfest. I didn't know them and they killed it. I've been a fan ever since. Great live band!!!!

This is your best video and i don't know how i missed, i love hatebreed got me far in life when i was sad and thinking to surrender! i never forget this lyrics from them "Every drop of blood Every bitter tear Every bead of sweat I live for this Live for this, Live, Live Live for this Live for this, Live, Live If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing."

I've never knew that people looked down their noses at hatebreed.

have you considered getting a third Hatebreed tattoo?

I know it's later hatebreed but "this is now" has helped me in difficult times. "What I've seen and what I've been through has made me who I am There was a time in my life where I had no desire to carry on I couldn't see a place for me or a will to survive I never thought to rely on myself or the beliefs that I had denied" But this is now.

This actually gives me chills. Hatebreed is my favorite band because they helped me end my decade long meth addiction. This is now, supremacy of self, give wings to my triumph, defeatist, and live for this we’re my anthems and helped me find the strength in myself to do what needed done and now it’s been over seven years since I’ve twisted a bowl or hit a vein. Thank you for giving them the recognition they deserve and I’m glad they’re helping others as well.

This vid made my cry. Cause it was exactly what made me love hate breed, and attracted me to hardcore in the first place. Being the only black kid in the pit growing up made me realize when you said pure will cut real deep. It was overcoming the darkness.

It's like a therapist just shouting daily affirmations at you backed by blast beat drums and chugging guitar riffs.

Hatebreed had huge impact in getting me into Hardcore/Extreme Metal as a kid. In recent years however I did not listen to them as much as I used to. But two days ago I saw them live at the Rock am Ring Festival here in Germany and they were absolutely amazing. I loved every second of the show and my voice was totally gone after they left the stage. So now I just have to learn everything about them and found this great video of yours! Thank you for that! All the best to you from Germany🤘🏻

Hey Finn… I am glad you took the time to make a video to speak/describe Hatebreed primary purpose. I applaud you wrapping up Hatebreed the group and what they are about. They are incredibly hard. Maaad’ groove and crunch. I’ve had shown some tunes to people who never heard them let alone listen to aggressive hardcore music. They’re like wow It is movable…. Jasta’s lyrics pushes and exudes motivation beyond… The rest of the dudes playing it the music cheers to you all.

This is the good shit I’m talking about! I gotta watch this a few more times because you’re speaking what I fell in love with about certain hardcore, punk, and hip-hop groups. Dark but hopeful! Stay up!

I remember seeing hatebreed live for the first time. My brother in law always played hatebreed in the car and told me the sound the exact same live. so when I saw em live, I turned my back to the stage closed my eyes. and it felt like cruizin on the backseat of my brother in laws car. he was so fucking right.

Dude. Travelled down to Spokane for that show on that tour. An ambulance did show up. Jamey had to stop the show and bring some serious comradery to the room. It was unreal. Thanks for this video. Well done. Well said.

Supremacy is my all time favorite album. The reason is cause a lot of the songs are motivating and they get you in the mood.

Love this band and couldn’t agree more. “No Halos For The Heartless” has some of my all time favorite lyrics

I remember the first song of Hatebreed that I listen to was “I will be heard” and after that... one thing that I can say about Hatebreed, their lyrics are “life anthems” to me... And as an anecdote, when they performed here in Ecuador, their show was brutal, I remember that I couldn’t hold the stering wheel in the way back home... LOL

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

Hatebreed were highly influenced by the Long Island Hardcore band Neglect. Neglect even shared Hatebreed's first split 7" vinyl in 1995. Neglect are one of those bands that influenced so many but rarely talked about.

I've heard some people think Hatebreed is a racist white supremacy band. Just goes to show that Hatebreed just gets stereotyped by their name and second hand stories. Oh and I've seen Jamey stop shows multiple times because of fights. He really does try and keep the crowd safe.

I just need to quote Being As An Ocean's Vocalist "I learned that hardcore music is not for happy kids with perfect lives"

Some of their songs are very Stoic. They make up my entire Playlist for working out. I listen so much the lyrics pop into my head during different interactions throughout the day.

What a proper commentary on one of the most influential bands in my life. Saw them at Chain Reaction in Anaheim 20 years at a secret show thing my friend took me too. Never ever been in energy like that.

Finn "I Can Respect That " Mckenty at it with another dope breakdown.

When I listen to “To The Threshold,” I feel like crying. It is cathartic. It is a well needed emotional release. A lot of pain is behind those lyrics, even if the message is positive. It really hits below the surface.

Dude I 100 percent agree w every word of what you said in this video...I am a recovering addict myself...and I also come from a highly dysfunctional family w a mother who suffers from narcissistic personality disorder...I always liked hatebreed but I never really listened to them until I was in rehab for the first time...looking down the barrel of today hit me hard...and that was it ...I was all in and they have helped me through alot of shit man...i dig thus channel alot...it has reignited my love for all things hardcore ...keep on keeping on

This has become my favorite channel period... you're pretty deep, my guy.... I respect that and you make a lot of great points about punk culture

Betrayed By Life is one of my all time "I'm gonna get through this shit" songs. I love this video great work as always!

Discovering hardcore changed my life. Growing up in a household that openly encouraged hate aimed at other groups of people. I was taught to blame everyone else for my short comings and thankfully to people like Finn I've seen the error of my ways and I actually want to make a impact on others as well as my own life.

I've been hitting the gym for about a year now, trying to get back on track and making progress. Thank you, Hatebreed, for keeping me motivated.

This video couldn’t be more right! One of my absolute favorite bands. Helped get me through a lot of tough times. PERSEVERANCE is tattooed across my chest. Hatebreed for life

I played " In Ashes They Shall Reap" during my active duty in the morning on my way to pt formation.

I'll have to check these guys out. Seems like a band that could be up my alley.

This band possibly saved my life. I discovered them during a really dark time and their music motivated me. I relate to what you said about thinking you couldn’t pull yourself out of what gotten yourself into. Great video
