iTunes Review

Hatebreed’s For the Lions takes on various metal subgenres by covering songs from bands such as Slayer, Sepultura and of course Metallica. Opening with “Ghosts of War,” Hatebreed give the South of Heaven-era Slayer number a tune-up; everything sounds bigger and newer, and though frontman Jamey Jasta’s guttural growls are as impressive as they are intimidating, Tom Araya’s post-adolescent sneering vocal seethe remains the more evil sounding of the two. Hatebreed’s update of Metallica’s “Escape” puts more doom and gloom in the mix, while that instantly catchy chorus sounds like someone brought a vocoder into the studio. But the punk covers here sound noticeably fiercer and tighter, especially when taking on a punch-throwing rendition of their namesake with the Misfits’ “Hatebreeders” and a blood-spitting version of Black Flag’s “Thirsty & Miserable.”

Customer Reviews

these reviews are amusing

I'm guessing if you didnt know this was going to be a cover album you must not follow your bands very well then. Yes, it's a cover album. I for one love cover albums, it's great when good bands cover the music that influenced them. Ghosts of War is to die for, it's been one of my favorite Slayer tunes for a long time and when I listened to this cover I was blown away. They gave it that metalcore feel. Other favorites would be Metallica's escape, Refuse/Resist by the great Sepultura, and of course can't argue with some Misfits. It's a cover album, live with it. At least they didn't butcher the songs. They did a good job. So stop rating the album 1 star because you were obvlivious and dumb enough to not even look it up before-hand. thank you.

is this a joke?

wow no original material not 1 song ... sad ... what happened to hatebreed because doing a whole album of cover songs is weak, glad your all giving good ratings and reviews to this "album"

Roxx ur Soxx

I love Hatebreed, and hearing them put their stamp on this set list is amazing. If you love metal, hardcore, and/or Hatebreed, this record is a must have...
