Legendary thrash metal band Hirax has inked a worldwide deal with SPV / Steamhammer. The band will enter the studio in early 2013 for a release in September followed by a world tour. Hirax has also recently joined the booking agency Flaming Arts in Europe.

Hirax frontman, Katon W. De Pena, on signing to SPV/Steamhammer Records: "We are honored to now be a part of the SPV Records family and we appreciate their total support of our thrash metal music. Together we are going to bring the heavy metal music world one hell of a skull crushing album in 2013."

SPV / Steamhammer A&R Olly Hahn adds: "It's an honor to have Katon and Hirax on our label. Through all the years Katon held the flag of metal high and also played places of the earth where nobody would. It's time for another raging violence!"
