Chaos erupted at the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest in 2023 during HATEBREED‘s set when a fan waiting in the beer line was struck by a flying trash can. The bizarre incident, caught on video and recently surfaced on Reddit, has sparked a wave of reactions online.
The short clip shows a long-haired individual enthusiastically headbanging while waiting to purchase a beverage. As the headbanger whips their hair back, it appears to make contact with the person standing behind them. This led to a brief verbal exchange. The situation escalated quickly when the seemingly disgruntled fan behind the headbanger grabbed a nearby trash can and forcefully threw it at the headbanging fan.
The video abruptly ends after the trash can makes impact, leaving viewers to speculate about the aftermath.
HATEBREED has announced additional dates for their upcoming summer tour across Europe and the UK, expanding on their previously revealed schedule. Notably, SHADOWS FALL guitarist Matt Bachand will be stepping in on bass for the tour, temporarily taking over for longtime bassist Chris Beattie.
These newly added dates supplement the previously announced shows, which begin in Iceland in early May and run through late June. The tour includes stops in countries such as Poland, the Netherlands, Germany, the UK (for Download Festival), France, Belgium (for Graspop Metal Meeting), the Czech Republic, Austria, and wraps up with several festival appearances in Germany. Check all the dates at HATEBREED‘s official website.
HATEBREED marked its 30th anniversary with a North American tour last fall, beginning on September 26, 2024, in Portland, Maine, and wrapping up on October 27, 2024, in Norfolk, Virginia. The tour featured support from CARCASS, HARMS WAY, and CRYPTA.
HATEBREED‘s latest studio album, Weight of the False Self, was released in 2020 via Nuclear Blast.
