July 17, 2008

German death metal maniacs HACKNEYED have replaced Austrian melodic death metallers THIRDMOON on the billing of this weekend's Rock Harz open-air festival, set to take place July 17-19, 2008 in Osterode/Förste, Germany. HACKNEYED will hit the stage on Saturday, July 19 at 2:15 p.m.

"Gut Candy", the new video from HACKNEYED, can be viewed below. The song comes off the German death metal maniacs' full-length debut, "Death Prevails", which was produced by Roger Grüninger and mastered by Achim Köhler. A July 25 release via Nuclear Blast Records is expected.

Check out an e-card for "Death Prevails" at this location.

According to a press release, "These five youngsters are just as convincing as MORBID ANGEL must have been when they released their first album back in the day! Not only is the band already a bright star in the sky of extreme metal but is also the youngest band Nuclear Blast has signed ever since. Probably HACKNEYED are also the youngest death metal act on the planet as the average age of the band members is just 16 years (guitarist Devin being just 14 years old!),but already shredding and grooving as hell — mark these words!

"Being founded in early 2007 the band has already achieved to play an amount of successful shows as well as draw attention from several bigger bands and also of Achim Ostertag (organizer of Germany’s Summer Breeze festival and CEO of Silverdust Records) who presented the band to the deeply impressed Nuclear Blast staff that signed them right away!"
