HATEBREED European Release Of 'For The Lions' Limited-Edition CD Digipack, LP Postponed

April 23, 2009

Century Media Records has announced that the European release of the limited-edition CD digipack and LP of the much-anticipated covers album by Connecticut hardcore/metal masters HATEBREED, entitled "For The Lions", has been postponed due to "manufacturing issues."

The limited-edition CD digipack and LP versions of "For The Lions" will now be released on May 25 in Europe. The standard jewel case CD will be made available on May 11.

An e-card for "For The Lions" can be accessed at this location.

Due in the U.S. on May 5 via E1 Music (formerly KOCH Records),"For The Lions" is the follow-up to the band's #1 Billboard charting DVD, "Live Dominance" (released September of 2008).

The songs on "For The Lions" were carefully selected by HATEBREED to represent a panoramic view of some of their favorite artists and greatest musical inspirations. Having completed the album in 2008, the band felt their work wasn't done yet and just returned to the studio with original guitar player Wayne Lozinak to record additional tracks for the album. The four new covers are among the most bludgeoning the band has yet to record. They are "Ghosts Of War" (SLAYER),"Supertouch/Shitfit" (BAD BRAINS),"Thirsty" (BLACK FLAG) and "Suicidal Maniac" (SUICIDAL TENDENCIES).

"For The Lions" was produced, engineered and mixed by long-time band associate Chris "Zeuss" Harris.

01. SLAYER - Ghosts of War
02. CRO-MAGS - It's The Limit
