Summary
Hatebreed release "Kill Count Increase," the lead single and opening track from their ninth album "Fatal Paradox," out November 6 on BLKIIBLK Records — their first new music in six years, featuring a John Tardy guest spot and a Corrosion of Conformity cover. Crowbar are forced to cancel their entire European tour as Kirk Windstein battles a recurring spinal issue. In an emotional video statement, Windstein — 36 years into his touring career — says he's never canceled a tour before, and vows to make the dates up in Europe next year. Meshuggah team up with Hasbro's Transformers for a limited-edition San Diego Comic-Con collaboration, celebrating 40 years of "The Transformers: The Movie" and 30 years of "Destroy Erase Improve," with a signing at booth 4029 on Friday.
