DOMKcast with Matt Byrne of Hatebreed

What is the "American Dream" these days? The band Hatebreed tackled
that subject in their song "A.D." off of their latest album
"Concrete Confessional". A univocal message that raises the anxiety
of now-a-days. There's a certain aspect that has you even scared to
go out of the house at times. Drummer Matt Byrne joins the DOMKcast
on episode 79. In town not too long ago with GWAR at the Cain's
Ballroom. Matt has enjoyed his time with them on the road.

Matt was the fill-in drummer for Late Night with Seth Myers. What
was it like being apart of a structured talkshow and how does it
differ from performing onstage with Hatebreed? Matt admitted it was
an adjustment watching for his cues.

What are some Do's and Don'ts to follow if you want to be a
successful band? Matt highlighted some of things that he tries to
abide by. One for anybody to follow would be to keep your partying
in check. Obviously that's something that can not only destroy your
career but your life as well.

What does Matt do in his downtime? He enjoys time at his house in
upstate New York. Hiking and seclusion are on the list of musts
during this time. The exact opposite of life on the road. The band
has a reputation for touring relentlessly over the years. It's
great to get a break but nothing replaces the feeling of performing
live in-front of a crowd.

The latest album from Hatebreed is "Concrete Confessional" released
back in 2016. Worth the listen. Hear the full conversation with
Matt Byrne of Hatebreed on episode 79 of the DOMKcast. #DOMKRocks
