CLOVEN HOOF To Play Final Show With Singer RUSS NORTH At HARD ROCK HELL Festival

November 14, 2009

NWOBHM legends CLOVEN HOOF will play their final show with vocalist Russ North on Saturday, December 5 at the Hard Rock Hell festival at Pontins in Prestatyn Sands. North Wales, United Kingdom. The proceeds of the show will go to the Clive Aid charity for Clive Burr (ex-IRON MAIDEN drummer),who is suffering from multiple sclerosis.

North announced last month that he was leaving CLOVEN HOOF to pursue a solo singing career away from heavy metal.

CLOVEN HOOF members Lee Payne (bass),Jon Brown (drums) and Ben Read (guitar) are currently in pre-production for their next album with producer Tom Galley (PHENOMENA). It is scheduled for release in the spring of 2010 and will be CLOVEN HOOF's "darkest and most epic-like opus yet," according to a posting on the band's web site.

CLOVEN HOOF recently announced the addition of guitarist Mick Powell to the group's ranks. He made his live debut with the band at the Rock of Ages festival in Belgium on October 17.

CLOVEN HOOF re-recorded 24 of its classic songs for a two-part "best-of" compilation, "The Definitive Part One" and "The Definitive Part Two".
