US Thrashers Hirax have posted the following update:

"We have begun pre-production for the new Hirax album "El Rostro de la Muerte" cover art]. Song titles to date include "Baptized By Fire", "Death Militia", "Battle Of The North", and re-recorded versions of "Blind Faith" and "Broken Neck".

Expect more new songs and a lot of surprises. This will be our FASTEST and HEAVIEST album to date, with an emphasis on the technical playing, aggressive double bass drumming, and dual guitar attack! Massive guitar riffs, pounding bass guitar, the vocals - sharp, clear and up front! The production will be top notch with John Hadad back at the helm again. He also handled the duties for "Assassins Of War" and "Chaos And Brutality" EPs.

There will be a new Hirax DVD "Thrash And Destroy", including our entire performance at the Keep It True Festival 9 - November 2007. Six camera angle video shoot, high quality, professional audio and video. Wait til you see it!!!

That's it for now... I will keep you posted on more Hirax news very soon.

I would also like to thank ALL the metaleros in Mexico and Colombia for the great times we had recently playing there! We will see you again SOON!"

Los Angeles thrashers Hirax have announced the return of original drummer John Tabares and addition of guitarist Lance Harrison to the group's ranks. The band are currently in pre-production, writing songs for their upcoming EP, "Assassins of War", tentatively due later in the year. More information will be made available soon.

In November 2005, Hirax frontman Katon W. De Pena was left as the group's sole remaining member after Glenn Rogers (lead guitars), Angelo Espino (bass), Dave Chedrick (drums) and Dave Watson (lead guitars) announced their departure from the band. As a result of their exit, Hirax's Japanese tour was cancelled and the band's appearance at this year's Keep It True VI festival was called off.
