A serious shakeup’s going down throughout the Hatebreed camp, because it appears founding bassist Chris Beattie’s been ousted from the band. We solely know this due to a tersely worded Instagram submit on the band’s official web page (that has its feedback shut off, by the way in which). Because it stands, the band mentioned Shadows Fall guitarist Matt Bachand will stand in for Beattie “for the foreseeable future,” however Beattie himself has since shed slightly extra mild on the scenario.
In a submit on his Instagram web page made lower than an hour in the past, Beattie mentioned he was “doing effective” and that he appreciated all the priority. Nonetheless, he mentioned he wasn’t in a position to actually go into particulars as to why he was let go, however hinted that there could also be repercussions for the band’s choice. Whether or not these repercussions are authorized in nature or not, we don’t know in the meanwhile.
“I simply wish to take the time to let everybody know that I’m doing simply effective and I sincerely recognize everybody who has reached out.”
“I used to be below the impression a joint announcement could be agreed upon prematurely, however since that was not the case I wished to deal with your considerations in my very own submit. Right now I’m unable to debate the specifics surrounding my departure from Hatebreed on November 13, 2024. Nevertheless, I wish to make clear that the choice to depart the band was not mine and that my departure was uncalled for and based mostly on deceptive and wrongful statements that will likely be topic to future actions.”
So he’s been out of the band since November and we’re solely listening to about it now. That’s kinda wild. Nonetheless, with the radio silence coming from Hatebreed and their very vocal frontman Jamey Jasta, it’s actually fascinating to see how this complete factor’s unfolding proper now.
