If big bands such as Napalm Death released the album "Leaders Not Followers" as a form of appreciation in the bands elders, Hatebreed (HB) working on a similar release which was released May 5 this. "For the Lions" is a collection of 18 tracks of the legendary band. (List details can be seen on the side-red). The first tracks, "Ghost of War" was selected as the single Slayer album. Since the concept of HB in the realm of music gray; moshcore, HB mengkover ranging from Black Flag punk him until his death metal band Obituary. Simply variants.
However, mengkover song does not mean should Wants To Be (especially wannabe), but can be packaged with its own version. Most importantly the essence of the song is not lost. Unfortunately, HB impressed tried to approach, especially on the character of vocalist James Basta. When mengkover Metallica, doi want to sound like James Hetfield. Who's on track Misfits, want to sound like Danzig. If there is a saying be yourself dong.
In addition, the selected song selection is also less familiar. Well, if that guns emang search market, but why should the song "Escape" to Metallica, why the song "Shut Me Out" to Sick Of It All, etc.. I think there are many cool songs from the band that covered by HB. But for the "Refuse / Resist" him Sepultura hehehe it's cool.
At first glance reminds album cover graphics HB before, "Supremacy" (Roadrunner, 2006). Only if first image skullcaps with bird wings, this time the head of a lion. If Napalm Death tribute album was released in periodicals such as, whether Hatebreed also do the same?
