Hateform - Working On Sophomore Release

A couple of years of playing gigs, little line-up changes and other shit hitting the fan, and again it's time for a new Hateform album to emerge. The recordings for the upcoming album just started, and the release date is set for spring 2010.

The new guy behind the drums, Tuomo Latvala (Torture Killer, ex-Demigod, Torsofuck) already took charge and blasted in some amazing drum work. This far the album consists of such working titles as "Flight Attendants Biological Clock" and "RailCripple". The ten tracks will be laid down on an open schedule this time, as the extra stress set by a tight deadline doesn't seem to help in getting the best result. Altough the idea is to get the album done before the summer.

The papers have been written with 7:45 Records once again and the co-operation will continue from where we left off last time, which happened to be the New Comer of the Year 2008 Award at the Finnish Metal Expo last year.

Hateform's debut effort Dominance was released in 2008. More info about the band on http://www.myspace.com/hateform.

Hateform line-up:

Tomy Laisto (guitar) Mors Principium Est]
Petri Nyström (vocals)
Tom Gardiner (guitar) Mors Principium Est, Katra, Solution.45]
Tuomo Latvala (drums) Torture Killer, ex-Demigod, Torsofuck]
Joni Suodenjärvi (bass)

The Project Hate MCMXCIX - Line-Up Changes

Swedish Industrial Death metallers The Project Hate MCMXCIX have issued the following update:

"It's 2010 and we thought we should start off the new year by making quite a bit of changes. Some might come as a total surprise, some may not. We were never a band who gave a fuck about what other people think anyways. That sounded cool, huh?

First off we wanna thank Jo Enckell for her work with The Project Hate since 2003. She's done a great job on the albums she's been a part of and will always be a huge part of TPH's history. Yes, Ms. Jo is no longer a part of TPH. There are no grudges held or anything, we just feel it's time to enter a new stage in our career. This is what Jo has to say about this: "I'm so happy to have been a part of The Project Hate MCMXCIX, to have been able to participate on four killer albums! This band will always have a special place in my heart. I love you guys and to all the fans - you rule! - Jo"

Many of you will wonder why Jo is relieved of duty after all these years. It's simple - we have done fantastic albums with her since Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate some 7 years ago, but now we feel it's time to go for another type of vocals when it comes to the female parts. We are looking for something else to further enhance our sound. And we have found it. In fucken Portugal of all places.

Let us introduce Ms. Roque to the fold. A killer chick with an absolutely fantastic voice including range, dynamics and power. Ms. Roque is destined to make her mark in TPH history with the strongest vocals we have ever had. You will have more info on her shortly in case you don't have the strength to Google her yourself. In her own words: "I'm very proud and thankful to be joining TPH, its an honour to be joining forces with such talented musicians. A big thank you to Lord K for believing in me and my "pipes" ! To all the fans of TPH , I promise you guys that I won't let you guys down! I'm very motivated and ready to kick some serious ass!! Truly yours - Ruby"

Welcome Ms. Roque to The Hate. We are extremely happy to have her on board and look forward to work with her for years and years to come.

We are not done yet though... What? We are changing drummer as well? Yes, we are. Thomas Ohlsson (Axenstar), who played on The Lustrate Process and did a great job with it, is also replaced. Why? Well, sometimes the answer is right in front of you, you just forget to look since it's too close. Of course Tobben Gustafsson of Torture Division and Vomitory is the man to be the last piece of the Hate puzzle. It dawned on us some time ago; why the hell isn't one of our fave drummers and best friends playing drums for TPH? We know what this guy is capable of and it's safe to say we'll get the finest drumming of our career with the next album by having Golden T on it. As said before, his nickname isn't fucken Golden for nothing, you know. Here's what Tobben has to say about being the new drummer: "I am very excited to join forces with K and J again, but now in The Project Hate MCMXCIX! From having been not so impressed in the beginning, I have grown to like this band a lot over the years. Their sound is truly unique and it's not the kind of metal I'm used to play, so it will be a big challenge for me to take on this honourable task. It will demand a lot of hard work, blood, sweat and frustration but I know it will all be worth it in the end. Prepare for a masterpiece!"

Hatesphere - New Drummer, Pull Out Of European Tour

In a statement from the band, Hatesphere have announced the addition of a new drummer:

"Things happen fast in this world - and after having suffered back problems for a long time Dennis finally had to throw in the towel. So the US Tour (with The Black Dahlia Murder, Augury and Obscura) not only marks the first time for us over there - it also marks the first tour with our new drummer, Mike Park, who many of you know from his work with fellow Danish metallers Mercenary. Mike has already had his live debut with us on our three shows in late November, and we are more than happy to have him joining our ranks! Welcome in the band!

As mentioned before things really do go fast from time to time. We have been forced to cancel our upcoming European tour with Hypocrisy, because of several personal circumstances and our change of drummer. We are very sorry, as we have looked very much forward to this tour - both to play with Hypocrisy and Survivors Zero but also to meet all you European fans again. But it seems impossible for us to be able to play it at this time. We hope for your understanding - and we promise you, we will be back later in 2010. Thank you all for your support!"

2/24 Atlanta, GA @ Masquerade
2/25 St. Petersburg, FL @ State Theatre

Hatebreed - New Album Details

US metallers Hatebreed are set to release their new album, self-titled "Hatebreed", on September 29.

The album will be available on CD, digital download, vinyl and special edition with a bonus 65-minute DVD. "Hatebreed" will be released on E1 Music in North America and via Roadrunner Records in all other territories.

Frontman Jamey Jasta comments: "This is our fifth studio album and it's a monster! We've survived some pretty rough times and the music shows it. There was no reason to change the recipe that our fans know and love but we added a few brutal new ingredients and we're more than amped on the results. Violence is a given!"

Jasta elaborates: "I feel this new album is a true crossover record in the sense that our metal and hardcore roots are evenly represented throughout it. There's still the fast East Coast tuned down Hardcore that people know and love, yet there are metal influences that shine through on almost every song. The speed is there, which we even kicked up a few notches on some of the songs, but the groove and slower tempos are represented. On "Hatebreed", there is a violent mix of straight forward anthem headbangers, fast thrashers and brutal breakdown after breakdown. There's something for everyone."

"Hatebreed" tracklist:

01. Become The Fuse
02. Not My Master
03. Between Hell And A Heartbeat
04. In Ashes They Shall Reap
05. Hands Of A Dying Man
06. Everyone Bleeds Now
07. No Halos For The Heartless
08. Through The Thorns
09. Every Lasting Scar
10. As Damaged As Me
11. Words Became Untruth
12. Undiminished
13. Merciless Tide
14. Pollution Of The Soul
15. Escape (New Diehard Edit)
