SPEED\KILL/HATE Begins Rehearsing With New Bassist

September 8, 2007

Old-school thrashers SPEED\KILL/HATE, featuring OVERKILL guitarist Dave Linsk, have issued the following update:

"We have begun rehearsals with new bassist Dave Bizzigotti ... what a great player. Bob [Barnack, vocals] just sounds unbelieveable, and Tony [Ochoa, drums) is insane. SPEED/KILL\HATE has never sounded better. We are looking forward to our upcoming tour and can't wait to hit the road. Look for some sound clips in the upcoming week."

Bizzigotti replaces Derek Tailer (also in OVERKILL),who was dismissed from the group last month due to "questionable availability and uncertain commitment," according to a posting on the band's web site.

SPEED\KILL/HATE's follow-up to its Escapi Music debut, "Acts of Insanity", tentatively titled "No Remorse, No Regrets", has been recorded and is scheduled for before the end of the year.

SPEED\KILL/HATE's debut album, "Acts of Insanity", which was released in June 2006, features Mario Frasca on vocals (of note, OVERKILL drummer Tim Mallare and OVERKILL guitarist Derek Tailer play on the album as well).

"Acts of Insanity" was originally released in Europe in February 2005 via Listenable Records. A video for the song "Face the Pain" was filmed on April 6, 2005 with director Anthony M. Bongiovi of TBJ Entertainment, Inc., who has previously worked with SLAYER ("War at the Warfield" DVD),MARILYN MANSON ("Guns, God & Government" DVD),AC/DC and GODSMACK, among others.

A Fuse TV interview with SPEED\KILL/HATE conducted by Juliya at the 2003 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival can be viewed below.
