New Haven based metal titans DEAD BY WEDNESDAY have announced the re-release of their debut album “Democracy is Dead”, which came out in 2006!
Comments the band:
“In honor of “Record Store Day 2017”, Mindsnap Music will be re-releasing Dead By Wednesday’s very 1st / debut CD “Democracy is Dead” which came out in 2006 on Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed’s Stillborn Records label. It features the original line up including the dual singer brothers & my cousins David & Ceschi Ramos. It is different then what the band is like now musically & doesnt represent their current sound but it’s still a very unique & stellar piece of the band’s history in its own right that everyone should own & at least check out.”
You can download “Democracy is Dead” digitally on Amazon, Spotify, or iTunes HERE.

HIRAX is an American thrash metal band beginning in 1984 under the leadership of vocalist Katon W. De Pena (founding member). The band was an early example of the thrash metal, speed metal and crossover. HIRAX is based in Los Angeles but, at that time, because of the weak metal scene in their area, they spent most of their time playing in San Francisco along with Slayer, Metallica, and Exodus, who were all part of the exciting new metal emerging from the Bay area. They released a four-song demo in 1984. This demo was widely circulated and the band became known and respected worldwide through the metal tape trading underground. Since then HIRAX has released 5 full length studio albums and multiple EPs and has toured the world including many festivals in South America, Europe, Japan, Scandinavia, and the U.S.A.
