Drummer DEREK RODDY Quits HATE ETERNAL

March 28, 2006

Drummer Derek Roddy has announced his departure from HATE ETERNAL. Roddy's official statement on the matter reads as follows:

"Real-life situations have forced me to resign as a member of HATE ETERNAL. I can on longer afford the expenses of touring. I have put MUCH thought into this for the last several years and kept coming to this conclusion. I must be able to afford the quality of life that I enjoy, and thus far... touring in extreme bands has not allowed me to do anything other than go into a financial hole. Every tour has put me in finanancial burden. Now, I'm not complaining (because I never expected to 'make it' playing metal),but I cannot continue to pay to do it either!!! Too expensive. Besides, I value the scene and would rather GIVE my music away than be insulted at the end of the year with a $600.00 royalty check!!!! This in NO WAY means I won't be recording and releasing extreme music. In fact, you will hear more from me (as I now have the freedom to do what I want when I want.)

"I wish HATE ETERNAL the best of luck."

HATE ETERNAL will be teaming up with ARCH ENEMY, CHIMAIRA, NEVERMORE and GOD FORBID for a North American tour beginning in early April. A replacement drummer has yet to be announced.
