October 19, 2010After a 20-year absence, '80s New Jersey thrash band MIDIAN has reformed with a new lineup. Sole remaining original member Chris Hawkins (drums) has recruited Mike Vittoria (vocals),Khalid Illahi (guitar),Rojan Banmali (guitar) and Sam Agnew (bass) for the revamped group, which plans to record a demo and start playing live in early 2011. Hawkins states, "The new guys have far exceeded my expectations!!! I'm blown away. Looking forward to playing live and recording with these characters."
