HIRAX To Play Two Exclusive European Shows

September 24, 2007

Due to problems with their European booking agency, Los Angeles thrashers HIRAX have scrapped most of their previously announced European tour and will now come over for two exclusive dates in late September:

Sep. 29 - Metalforces Festival - Lörach, Germany
Sep. 30 - La Boite À Musiques - Wattrelos, France

Commented the band: "We will return back to Europe in May 2008 to do a 10-date tour! Covering more countries and spreading our message of thrash metal!!

"[The two shows in late September] will be historic events! It will be HIRAX's first time playing in France!! Expect to hear some songs that we have NEVER played before!

"We would like to thank all of the promoters involved with bringing HIRAX over to do these concerts! We promise you that these shows will be unforgettable!!"

According to a posting on his web site, drummer Fabricio Ravelli will rejoin HIRAX for the upcoming shows.

Fabricio originally left HIRAX in April 2007.

Poland's Selfmadegod Records released the five-song mini-album from HIRAX, entitled "Assassins of War", in March.

Recorded at Shiva Industries in Santa Ana, CA with producer John Haddad, the mini-album was released in the United States via HIRAX's own label Black Devil Records and Deep Six Records.

"The artwork for both the CD and the 12" vinyl version is incredible," vocalist Katon W. De Pena said. "Jeff Gaither did the artwork. He has drawn album covers for the legendary punk/hardcore band THE ACCUSED, along with many others. HIRAX is some of his best work for sure."
