Bay Area Metal staples Hatchet have released the video for “Desire for Oppression”, the first single from their new LP “Dying to Exist” in stores on June 22nd, 2018, via Combat Records/EMP Label Group.

The video is available below.

Hatchet has launched the pre-order, along with the cover art, for “Dying to Exist” here, available on CD and LP, and in several bundle configurations.

Fueled by the twin guitar attack of vocalist Julz Ramos and Clayton Cagle, bassist Devin Reiche, and drummer Ben Smith, Hatchet have built a name and reputation for themselves carrying the torch of classic Bay Area Metal, through three prior full-length releases of high-energy, intense thrash, (including their 2008 Metal Blade debut “Awaiting Evil”, 2013's “Dawn of the End”, and their latest The End Records' offering, 2015's “Fear Beyond Lunacy”) and countless tours supporting names like Metal Church, Flotsam and Jetsam, Soilwork, Warbringer, Act Of Defiance, Exmortus, Doyle, DRI and more. The follow-up to 2015's “Fear Beyond Lunacy”, “Dying to Exist” promises to be the band's heaviest and most focused release to date.

“Desire for Oppression” is also the leadoff track on the upcoming 2 disc *Combat Bullets Vol 1.0* compilation, in stores on 4/6, also featuring tracks from Combat artists including Sword (Canada), Helstar, Dead By Wednesday, March Rizzo, Wrath, Green Death (ft. David Ellefson), and Throw The Goat, plus over 25 of the best underground Metal bands, as voted by fans, including Casket Robbery, The Venting Machine, White Thrash, Anialator TX, Judgemental, Midnite Hellion, At Home In Hell, Mynas, Diabology, A Hanging, Fatal Malady, and more.

Combat was relaunched in 2017 by Ellefson, and partner Thom Hazaert, with all releases manufactured and distributed by Ellefson's EMP Label Group, via Amped in North America, and SPV in Europe.
