Hatebreed will be down one key member of the band when their fall tour continues tonight in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Bassist Chris Beattie was injured earlier this week in a bizarre accident and will need to undergo immediate surgery.
Just before they head to Europe for a series of shows and festivals across the pond, Hatebreed have announced a North American tour with Shadows Fall, the Acacia Strain and Battlecross that launches in September. The first batch of dates are below, with more to be announced.
Yet another must-see metal tour has just been announced. Intergalactic metalmongers GWAR have just announced a handful of North American tour dates with Hatebreed and crossover thrash act Iron Reagan, which boasts members of Municipal Waste and Cannabis Corpse.
Hatebreed are really taking to the road in early 2013. The Connecticut hardcore outfit are about to finish a current string of dates with Shadows Fall, Dying Fetus and the Contortionist, but after only a small amount of time to relax along with a handful of international dates, Hatebreed will hit the U.S. highways once again beginning April 9.
