Hatriot – the Bay Area thrash powerhouse featuring former Exodus singer Steve ‘Zetro’ Souza – are preparing to return to the studio in September to record their sophomore effort, titled Dawn Of The New Centurion. Following up their highly successful debut Heroes Of Origin, the band has once again enlisted Juan Urteaga (Testament, Machine Head, Exodus) to handle production duties, and will release the record in February 2014 through Massacre Records.
“Over the past year Hatriot has grown tighter as a band, and the songs on the new record will reflect that” says Steve Souza. “The songs are longer and more melodic, while keeping the classic thrash metal feel that we are known for. Heroes Of Origin was our Kill ‘Em All, and Dawn Of The New Centurion is our Ride The Lightning.”
The first single from Dawn Of The New Centurion will be “The Fear Within.” Hatriot will be touring Europe in November and December of 2013, and plan on including some new material into their live set.
