June 6, 2005

According to a posting on their official web site, Danish thrashers HATESPHERE have been confirmed for the 2005 edition of Germany's Wacken Open Air festival, set to take place August 4-6 in Wacken. HATESPHERE will play the Metal Hammer Party Zelt on Thursday August 4 at 11:00 p.m. HATESPHERE's summer festival schedule is now shaping up as follows:

Jun. 10 - Spot 11 Festival - Aarhus, DEN
Jun. 25 - Metal Camp - Tolmin, SLO
Jun. 26 - Graspop Metal Meeting - Dessel, BEL
Jul. 15-17 - Dour Festival - Dour, BEL
Aug. 04 - Wacken Open Air - Wacken, GER
Aug. 26-28 - Up From the Ground - GER

As previously reported, HATESPHERE entered Jailhouse Studios with producer Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, PRETTY MAIDS) on June 5 to begin recording their next full-length album, tentatively due late September/early October via Steamhammer/SPV. Guitars and bass are being recorded at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark, with producer Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, INVOCATOR). This dynamic duo was also responsible for the production on the band's latest effort, "The Killing EP", which was released last January.

HATESPHERE's third album, "Ballet of the Brute", was released in Europe last June via Scarlet Records. The follow-up to 2002's "Bloodred Hatred", "Ballet of the Brute" was recorded at Jailhouse and was the band's first full-length release with drummer Anders Gyldenøhr, who replaced Morten Toft Hansen (RAUNCHY) in May 2003.

HATESPHERE supported KREATOR on their "Enemy of God" European tour earlier in the year. Also appearing on the bill were Sweden's DARK TRANQUILLITY and Hungarian hardcore/thrash metallers EKTOMORF.
