Drummer Dennis Buhl hat die dänischen Thrasher von HATESPHERE wegen anhaltender Rückenprobleme verlassen. Dadurch mussten HATESPHERE auch die anstehende Europa Tournee mit HYPOCRISY sausen lassen.

Für die bereits gebuchte Amerika Tour mit THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, OBSCURA und AUGURY wird den Dänen ihr Landsmann Mike Park (ex-MERCENARY) hinterm Kit aushelfen! [siehe Foto!]

Commented HATESPHERE guitarist Peter "Pepe" Hansen: "This is indeed a new and exciting chapter for HATESPHERE.

"After touring Europe for more than seven years, we finally have the chance to visit the States. It is a huge opportunity for us and we look forward to play for our U.S. fans! A huge thank you to the guys in THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, who were kind enough to invite us!

"Unfortunately, we have to cancel the European tour with HYPOCRISY due to our change of drummer and personal reasons. However, it's a pleasure to have Mike behind the drums. We've known him for several years, and he wanted to play fast for a long time and now it's finally happening, so obviously we're happy!

"We promise to return both during the summer at the festivals and in the autumn."
