Since their formation in 1994, New Haven, CT's Hatebreed have grown into one of the most sought after hardcore bands in the United States. Their perfect combination of brutal metallic riffs, gutwrenching vocals and classic mosh parts have catapulted them to the forefront of the hardcore genre.

Hatebreed came into existence based on the simple idea that there weren't any really heavy, brutal bands out there that had gained the respect of the hardcore scene. And in seeking to change that, these guys have fundamentally changed the face of hardcore music. They play bone-crushing riffs followed immediately by in-your-face dance parts that get the crowd going live, and will have you slamming into the walls of your living room at home.

Type O Negative released Bloody Kisses which slowly won the band a cult following, thanks in part to the video for "Black No. 1" and the band's constant touring, and the album cracked Billboard's Top 200 well over a year after its release. The more upbeat follow-up, October Rust, appeared in 1996, building on the more pop-oriented tracks of its predecessor; in the meantime, Steele achieved notoriety by appearing as a Playgirl magazine centerfold. World Coming Down finally appeared in 1999 after a three-year hiatus, a considerably darker affair than October Rust but proof that -- in spite of Steele's pronouncements to the contrary -- its predecessors were no fluke. In 2000, Roadrunner compiled The Least Worst of Type O Negative, which featured European single edits and alternate mixes of the band's most popular songs, plus several unreleased tracks. Life Is Killing Me arrived in 2003 with a cover of "Angry Inch" from the film Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Four years passed before the band returned with Dead Again
