HIRAX – NEW
STUDIO RELEASE “EL ROSTRO DE LA MUERTE (“The Face of
Death”)
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS NOW AVAILABLE; 2009 TOUR
DATES
....
LONG BEACH- HIRAX will release their
highly-anticipated new studio album - El Rostro de la Muerte (“The Face of
Death”) - in mid August 2009. It is the veteran thrash band’s first
full-length since 2004’s The New Age Of Terror.
El Rostro de
la Muerte (“The Face of Death”) is a dual-studio effort, combining the
skills of two HIRAX producers which the band has worked with on their past 3
releases. The ten new tracks were recorded and engineered by John Haddad at
Trench Studio in ..Corona.., ..California.., and mixed by Michael Rozen at Speed Semen
Clove Factory in ..North Hollywood... The new CD
will also contain 1 bonus track from the Chaos and Brutality EP, which
was previously unavailable in The US.
“The combination of Haddad and
Rozen’s recording and production are perfect for the vision that we had for the
sound of this album,” said HIRAX vocalist Katon W. De Pena. “We worked with
Haddad on the last 2 HIRAX EPs, Assassins of War and “Chaos and Brutality. He has a
great understanding of the power and speed of HIRAX, and he knows how to bring
the best of our talents to the surface. We have a lot of respect for him.
HIRAX first worked with Michael Rozen back in 2004 on The New Age of
Terror album and it’s great to be working with him again. His experience in
mixing and production are what we need to complete the mega-epic sound that we
are striving for. It’s the first time HIRAX has ever brought two of our
producers together, but it seemed like the logical thing to do since they both
have an ear for detail and a certain work ethic which brings out the best in the
band. Musically, it combines everything that HIRAX is known for and much, much
more! TRUE THRASH METAL!!”
El Rostro de
la Muerte (“The Face of Death”) will be released on Black Devil
Records and Deep Six Records and will be distributed through CM Distro.com. It
will be pressed in CD and vinyl formats as well as a limited edition picture
disc.
The HIRAX title Not Dead Yet (the band’s two classic
thrash metal albums Raging Violence and Hate Fear And Power
together) is now available digitally through iTunes, along with Thrash and
Destroy, Assassins of War, The New Age of Terror, and
Barrage of Noise. The band plans to release make more of their extensive
