Hirax

[Everflow]

Tous les membres de ce vieux groupe de thrash seraient partis, hormis leur leader Katon De Pena...

California thrashers HIRAX have cancelled their previously announced Japanese tour following the apparent departure of Glenn Rogers (lead guitars), Angelo Espino (bass), Dave Chedrick (drums) and Dave Watson (lead guitars).

"Our deepest regrets that the Japan tour is cancelled," Glenn said in a statement. "We were all ready to go. But Katon [W. De Pena, vocals] wanted to commit career suicide. He does not know how to keep his obligations."

[Gaëtan]

Que vaut l'album de reformation? J'en ai eu de bon échos, mais je l'ai pas écouté.
Je les ai vus sur scène en 2003, et c'était vraiment excellent. Les membres du groupe étaient vraiment très sympas et disponibles après leur concert.
Je comptais aller à la warm-up du prochain KIT pour m'en repayer une bonne tranche, mais ça a l'air mal barré du coup...
Remarquez, seul Katon De Pena est là depuis le début; il peut très bien retrouver des musiciens d'ici là...
Et qu'est-ce qui est reproché à Katon au juste?

[Everflow]

Et qu'est-ce qui est reproché à Katon au juste?

Voilà l'explication du guitariste :

"On Saturday, Nov. 19th I received a message from Katon W. Depena [HIRAX frontman]. The message said, and I quote, 'I'm cancelling the tour. It's nothing against Dave Watson [guitar] or you, but I can't work with the other guys [bassist Angelo Espino and drummer Dave Chedrick]. I'm not happy with them, and I need to spend some time away from the band.' Katon refused all phone calls and e-mails to try to work this out. He never contacted the promoter (Sub Effect Records) to let them know the tour was cancelled.

"Due to the fact that Katon would not communicate with his own band, we had to cancel our flight plans. As a result, we as a band felt we could not continue as members of HIRAX. We will however seek a new singer, and carry on."

[Everflow]

Tous les groupes se mettent au DVD et c'est le cas de HIRAX avec un programme bien chargé on dirait :

Los Angeles thrashers HIRAX will release their first DVD, "Thrash Til Death", on April 25 through Black Devil Records.

"Thrash Til Death" features over two hours of live footage — the complete set from Minneapolis Mayhem 2, plus bonus footage from shows played in Germany (Bang Your Head Festival and warm-up show), Sweden (Sweden Rock Festival), The Netherlands (Dokk 'Em Open Air Festival), and San Francisco (Tidal Wave Festival and Thrash of the Quintana (KUSF 23rd anniversary show at The Pound SF).

The tracks compiled on this visual anthology span HIRAX's entire career and were filmed using professional cameras, multiple camera angles, and high-quality audio. The DVD also contains an interview with the entire band, "Hostile Territory" promo clip, a full visual discography including liner notes and artwork (by Pushead, "Mad" Marc Rude, and Craig Cummings), and even an Easter egg (hidden concert footage from Fender's Ballroom in 1985).

"We are very excited about the DVD," said singer Katon W. De Pena. "It contains some of the most amazing performances the band has done up until this point. I wanted it to be something that HIRAX diehards as well as any fan of extreme metal would be proud to own. As a matter of fact, this DVD was compiled and edited by a huge metal fan, Eddie Boyd (aka 'Sickthrash'), who has been collecting thrash memorabilia since the beginning."

"Thrash ‘Til Death" will be available through Century Media distribution as well as Black Devil Records. European and South American distribution is in the works.

HIRAX is currently in the preproduction stage for their upcoming album "Assassins Of War". Joining vocalist Katon W. De Pena are original HIRAX drummer Johnny Tabares, lead guitarist Lance Harrison, and bassist Steve Harrison.

un DVD posthume.
On sait jamais ils s e reformeront peut être si le DVD se vend bien(ce dont je doute)

[Kiss of Death]

HIRAX c'est Katon de Pena, il vire qui il veut et choisit les musicos qu'il veut, un peu comme Dave Mustaine et Megadeth.

Il vient de reprendre le batteur originel dans le groupe John Tabares, le nouveau gratteux s'appelle Lance Harrison et le groupe commence à enregistrer un nouvel EP vinyl prévu pour cette année : Assassins of War.
