Recording notes

From Fatal Paradox (2026). Fatal Paradox is the ninth studio album by American metalcore band Hatebreed, released on 6 November 2026 by BLKIIBLK Records. The album's personnel list credits Wayne Lozinak on lead guitar and Frank Novinec on rhythm guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the nearest rig we use for Hatebreed's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a saturated high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup.
