Hatebreed - The Divinity Of Purpose - Review

The Divinity Of Purpose is the sixth studio album from American Metalcore band Hatebreed. It was released on January 29, 2013. Yes am writing about it after a year. I finally decided to write down my thoughts about any new album I listen to.

The album take its lead with "Put It To The Torch", yes you heard it right. No casual intro, the storm of mosh arrives quickly with frontman Jamey tearing up his vocals and it follows throughout the whole song. The song structure is really stormy witch riffs sweet to ears and you wanna just punch in the air. Its followed up by my favorite "Honor Never Dies", the best part being the phrase in the start of the song (Sometimes, standing for what you believe/Means standing alone) that literally give me goosebumps and reminds me of another track they own "Destroy Everything". The breakdowns are literally the only thing you will believe to be so heavy and matured that will set yourself crazy with the touch of melody in between. (Damn I wanna punch you)

Moving on next, "On Your World", where you are being asked about heart. The lyrics reflect a motivational and strong display of own will. The riffs just made it more compact and will definitely make you believe you are strong enough to face this fuc*ed up world. Next is "The Language" which begins with a riff which is commanding you to finish up the beer and join back in the mosh followed by Jamey's command "Lets Do It"; along with confusing you about your speakers. This song will wake up your head and perfect for just keeping our hairs in the air with short singalong moments.

"Before The Fight Ends" is all about the energy left in you to go unleash in the mosh. With the intro riff reminding me of old school thrash bands, the whole song structure is skull crushing and I wanna punch someone again. This song will set you free even to go and run naked in a church.

"Indivisible" & "Dead Man Breathing" reflects the groovy side of the band. You just wanna spread your hand,legs wide and jump in the air, beware you might see your hands in the air and later fixed it up with glue.

Now the title song "The Divinity Of Purpose", the song explains itself why its not the first song of the album. Confused ? fair enough ! Cause this song is extremely tight from intro to outro and almost has got all the ingredients used to write the other songs. The bass line is so perfect with the rhythm and keeps you mesmerized in the song, all credits to Chris.

The album contains 12 tracks, and you might wonder if the album get over quickly in your music player. So what ? replay button is there, just press it don't hesitate. The album explains the real breed of music Hatebreed always played. Groovy, catchy, short, stormy, heavy etc etc. The album wraps up with "Idolized and Vilified" which doesn't make you feel the album is done but makes you more hungry, specially when "FUCK IT" is the last word.

Definitely a must listen album if you believe in hardcore.

Best 5 - Put It To The Torch, Honor Never Dies, Dead Man Breathing, The Divinity Of Purpose, Boundless (Time To Murder It)

My Rating : 4.5/5
