HELLHOUND Restructures, Moves Base Of Operations

August 18, 2010

Thrash metal veterans HELLHOUND have released the following statement:

"HELLHOUND bids a fond farewell to guitarist Robert Kolowitz and drummer Wayne Devecchi, who have accepted permanent positions in San Jose's metal monsters IMAGIKA. Please join us in wishing them the very best and supporting them in their new endeavor. IMAGIKA are a great band, and we look forward to tearing up some stages with them in the future.

"As a result of these changes, Joe [Liszt] will take on guitar duties in addition to vocals, and HELLHOUND will move its base of operations to Sacramento, where two-thirds of the band is already located. We are currently auditioning new drummers in that area, as well as completing the writing for the full-length CD we'll record at year's end."

Formed in the early '80s and based in San Francisco's South Bay area, HELLHOUND developed concurrently but independently of North and East Bay acts such as LEGACY (pre-TESTAMENT),DEATH ANGEL, FORBIDDEN EVIL (pre-FORBIDDEN) and HEATHEN. HELLHOUND eventually shared stages with all these bands during the thriving thrash scene of the mid-Eighties. Before disbanding in 1988, they had played shows with the likes of SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX.

Since its untimely demise, HELLHOUND has built a strong cult following due to CD releases of their classic demo tapes. It was after the most recent release, on Stormspell Records, that four out of the five original members decided to finally reunite and expose a new generation of metal fans to the music of HELLHOUND.
