Weight of the False Self is the eighth studio album by American metalcore band Hatebreed. The album was released on November 27, 2020,[1] through Nuclear Blast.[2]

Critical reception

Max Heilman of Metal Injection stated that "Just by listening to the single 'Instinctive (Slaughterlust)', it's at least clear that Hatebreed hasn't forgotten how to be Hatebreed."[3]

Regarding the work, Dom Lawson of Blabbermouth.net said that "This is their strongest album in over a decade and the perfect antidote to looming grey skies."[4]

Writing for Kerrang!, Olly Thomas noted "a certain predictability" in the album and gave it 3 out of 5 stars.[5]
