(UPDATED) Burn the Lies: CNN Calls Hatebreed a "White Power" Act

Page 2 of 2

Granted, Hatebreed's album titles -- Supremacy, Rise of Brutality, and Under The Knife -- aren't the most-loving things I can imagine, but I can name a dozen bands of any other genre with worse titles in their catalogs.

Even I think that Hatebreed is sort of boneheaded -- a decade removed from being a huge fan -- but that's not the point. They didn't deserve to be roped in to something this careless.

Rocks Off sometimes makes mistakes and we have to take our writers to task for careless foul-ups that you dear reader are so gracious and mild-mannered to point out to us.

Like the time I described Robert Plant as the former front man of the Honeydrippers.

For what it's worth, this won't hurt Hatebreed and if anything it will just get people reminded of them, or even interested in listening to their music, but it's not a fun way to gain new fans.
