The Summer Slaughter Tour Made it's Triumphant Return to Milwaukee, Wi

BY: Rick Lancaster

​The Summer Slaughter Tour made its triumphant return to Milwaukee, Wi this past  Sunday July 27th at The Rave Eagles Ballroom. The rejuvenated tour had two stages featuring acts such as Toxic Ruin, Micawber, Molder on The Rave Bar Stage and Incite, Snuffed on Sight, GORE, Gridiron, Bleeding Through and the hardcore heavyweights HATEBREED on The Rave Stage. Now the energy kept building and the anticipation grew more and more with each band as we grew closer to the headliner Hatebreed.

In typical Hatebreed fashion they opened with the crowd pleaser "I Will Be Heard". Then as unexpected as them dropping a new single on 7/20/25 "Make the Demons Obey", they hit us with it live and the crowd was singing along. As their ripping set progressed they hit us with a great mixture on old school stuff like "Empty Promises", "Last Breath", "Perseverance", "Proven" as well as some more modern songs like "In Ashes They Shall Reap", "Looking Down The
Barrel of Today", and "Seven Enemies". They closed their over an hour long set with "Live For This".

This was the second to last stop of The Summer Slaughter Tour, then Hatebreed take back off to Europe for Part 2 of European Savagery Tour. If you've never experienced the brutality and positivity that is Hatebreed live, I highly suggest you do yourself a favor and go catch them live in a town near you.
