HATE GALLERY To Release 'Dead Celebrities' EP

HATE GALLERY, the Finnish/British/Swedish rock band featuring Janne Jarvis and Rille Lundell from WARRIOR SOUL, has issued the following update:

"We will soon be releasing a new EP entitled 'Dead Celebrities'. This will feature a collection of brand new tracks plus what we consider to be the definitive version of 'New God'. We will be releasing two as-yet-undecided tracks for radio. It's one last hurrah for what is already a dead concept within a dead century.

"The EP will essentially be a bridge between 'Compassion Fatigue' [HATE GALLERY's debut CD] and our forthcoming album, the title of which we will reveal in the next few weeks.

"'Dead Celebrities' will be made available directly to you via our own website which will be online shortly.

"From now on our music will come directly to you at any given time and the next year promises to be a prolific, creative and exciting one."

The track "New God" is available for streaming on the HATE GALLERYMySpace page.

HATE GALLERY's "The Idiots" video can be viewed below. The track is taken from "Compassion Fatigue", which was released on November 3, 2008 through the Unit music label, distributed by Cargo and Sony/BMG.

Jarvis commented: "'The Idiots' is just a general reaction to reality TV, the cult of celebrity and more seriously the everday surveillance of the citizen by our governments. The cameras are everywhere. What? Me paranoid? Fuck off."

HATE GALLERY was formed by principal songwriter and driving force Janne Jarvis, who states that "I want this band to be the kind of group that stands out from the crowd. I don't want us to be associated with any kind of scene, with any other band that happens to be either Swedish or English. I don't want us to be associated with any one place. I don't want us to be thought of in terms of either fashion or trends."

Vocalist/bassist Janne first tasted rock 'n' roll success in great British rock band RADIATOR, which created a huge rock industry buzz when it emerged in the late Nineties. The group signed to EMI Records, which released the RADIATOR debut album to great reviews. The band was then fortunate enough to tour with the likes of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, MOTÖRHEAD, BACKYARD BABIES, PITCHSHIFTER and countless others.

Within a month of the birth of HATE GALLERY, Rille and Janne had recruited crazed Finnish guitarist Petja Lepola (a virtuoso automaton, affectionately known as "The Hat") and sticksman Freddie Cocker, former drummer in Swedish pop-rockers THE CALLAHAN. A month later the band had signed to the Unit music label and went into the studio to record "Compassion Fatigue".
