Hatebreed‘s plans to release their new album this spring have been postponed amid concerns over the Coronavirus pandemic. The band had originally been planning to drop the album—reportedly titled “Weight Of The False Self“—on May 29th, but those plans have now changed. The band’s frontman Jamey Jasta clarified the matter via Twitter to a fan:
Thanx you too, album is postponed indefinitely. I’m told retail + pressing plants in EU & N. America will be closing or are closed already making manufacturering/pre-orders impossible. Our fans buy a lot of vinyl/CDs so the label needs to protect their investment understandably https://t.co/ADGu3m3VWB

The news shouldn’t be too surprising, the band also postponed the release of a new single from the album this past Friday, March 20th. Furthermore, they had to cancel their spring headlining tour and reschedule their European/UK tour with Parkway Drive.
