NEVERMORE Guitarist To Guest On New HATESPHERE CD

July 7, 2005

NEVERMORE guitarist Steve Smyth (ex-TESTAMENT) has completed a guest solo for the upcoming HATESPHERE CD, "The Sickness Within", due on September 26 via SPV Records. Smyth recorded his contribution to the song "Marked by Darkness" at Signal Creative Studios in London with engineer Gareth.

HATESPHERE's follow-up to 2004's "Ballet of the Brute" was recorded in part at Jailhouse Studios with producer Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, PRETTY MAIDS). Guitars and bass were 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.
