Death metal legends HATE ETERNAL will be joined by the acclaimed German drummer Hannes Grossmann (ALKALOID, BLOTTED SCIENCE, ex-OBSCURA, ex-NECROPHAGIST) for their upcoming North American tour.
Regarding the collaboration, Grossmann comments, “I’m absolutely stoked to play with Hate Eternal.They’re an iconic and genre-defining band in death metal. Erik and J.J. are phenomenal players and great guys; we’ve been rehearsing all week at Mana Recording Studios, and it has been amazing thus far. I worked really hard to play these songs the right way and I can’t wait to finally present it to fans across North America. See you on tour.”
Erik Rutan continues, “Hannes is an incredible drummer, amazing person and absolute professional. We had the fortune of touring with Obscura many years ago and got to witness first hand the kind of pedigree Hannes is as a musician. Rehearsal is going great and we could not be more excited about getting out there on our first headlining tour for our new album ”Infernus” with Hannes behind the kit! Hope to see you all out there on the road!”
Due to family matters, Chason Westmoreland has chosen to leave the band.
HATE ETERNAL will soon embark on The “Infernus Tour 2015”. The tour begins next week on October 27 and sees the band travel throughout the U.S and Canada (on select dates) before concluding on November 25.
