OCTOBER 7, 2001
Hello everybody it's Sunday...yesterday Oct. 6th I was invited to a BBQ/jam session with some good old friends of mine. Gene Hoglan (drummer - Dark Angel, Death, Testament, Strapping Young Lads), was in town visiting and also Jimmy Durkin (guitar - former Dark Angel, and now HIRAX) ...we had a little jam with me doing some vocals. It was the first time all three of us had ever played together. It was a lot of fun. All we did was covers. I remember doing - Wargasm, the Boston band. We used to love those guys.
Also there was a lot of drinking being done and we got caught up on a lot of good memories from the early days.
Well, now on to some other news... "Barrage Of Noise" is out and doing very well. They have already gone through the first press and are repressing more now. The 10" red vinyl should be out in two weeks.
We have announced our new line up...complete now finally. We are rehearsing for tour. We will be recording some new records and we begin our tour January 2002. We have been receiving a ton of mail from all over the world and people are letting us know where they want us to come tour. The plans are being made now...we will see everybody soon. If you haven't yet, please sign up for our email list. We will keep you posted on all the HIRAX upcoming developments.
THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!
UP THE METAL HAMMERS!
