Prepare to be blown to smitherines... Victimizer just finished their mini album entitled "Resurrected Abominations" to be released on CD and 12" Vinyl (first 100 copies "die hard edition") in MAY 2009 via HHR. This is their first official release in about 1.5 years since the acclaimed "The Final Assault" album.

Two new tracks are featured on this profile: "E-37101" & the re-recorded pummeling version of "Reap the Nuclear Whirlwind" (not to give too much exclusive material away)

"Resurrected Abominations" will feature the following tracks (in random order):

Request the songs HERE for airplay:

"Worthy of Hell"
"E-37101"
"Resurrected Abominations"
"Lucifers Domain" (Hobbs Angel of Death Cover)
"Reap the Nuclear Whirlwind" (re-recorded)

The new material promises an even more unreasonable take on fast, hard hitting and head splitting diabolical thrash/black/speed metal with a downright crushing, powerful and mean sound. This will in all aspects be the bands strongest effort yet, surely not to dissapoint any fan of bonebreaking armageddon metal for real men.

Victimizer are now based in Copenhagen, Denmark and still consist of JBP (aka Killheiler, vocals), Henrik Engkjer (aka Mr. Born To Lose, guitar) and Vuml (bass). Two new members have joined the ranks in the shape of Soren Bentsen (drums) and Peter Engkjer (guitar).

On January 27th 2010, I witnessed concert history at The Patriots Place, in Foxboro,MA. When you see the names,Andreas Kisser(guitar) from Sepultura, Tim "The Ripper" Owens(vocals) from Judas Priest, David Ellefson(bass) formerly of Megadeth, and Mike Portnoy(drums) of Dream Theater on one small stage...one would think it was a dream.

Well the dream was real. The four got together to pay tribute to the great Metal Bands of our time. This will probably be the best show I ever saw in my life and I have seen hundreds. I say it was the best because these guys did this on their own and wanted to do it, so they were really into it, smiling, interacting with the crowd in an intimate setting and most of all having fun!!!! They kicked right into The Ace of Spades by Motorhead and just kept going.The set l list included South Of Heaven (SLAYER),Whiplash (Metallica) among other greats. 

Tims vocals were awesome as usual and I am sure you all know Mike,Dave and Andreas kicked some Metal Ass!!!!  I had a great time and even got into a fight...not my fault. When the band did Whiplash as the last song  Ellefson signaled for a pit, so a small one began. It had like 6  people in it that probably never been in a real mosh pit and would have been killed by true moshers. Anways, one big FAT old guy who did not belong in a pit, not to mention being out in public kept slamming into people in front of the stage watching the band. Did I mention this guy was FAT...325lbs at least? After a couple times of him crushing folks in front, I felt I needed to step in...too much boooze ;>  I stepped into the pit and signaled the guy to calm down. I then went back to the front where I was enjoying the show. Minutes later fatso came flying into the front again harming women and children, so I attacked. My friend, thought I was joining the pit, until security and fans had to hold me back. NOTE: Never hit a fat person in the stomach if you want to take him down...my hand sunk into his stomach a few times and one of my punches bounced out of his fat rolls and almost knocked me out. Luckily, it was the last song, security was cool and neither one of us got kicked out or hurt. Now that I think about it he also made the show a memorable one for me. Also now that I am in a clear state of mind, he could have sat on me and beat the crap out of me!!! So thanks buddy..it is all part of a metal show!

So if HAIL comes to a small club near you pay the $20 and watch a great show, with very talented musicians.

The new Godhate album, "Equal in the eyes of death", has finally been released. It was released on January 25th, 2010 through Metal Age Productions. An album, that once again, points out new directions both musically and lyrically for the band. It’s faster, but also heavier than the bands earlier releases. All in all "Equal in the eyes of death" is a very diverse album compared to the death metal scene of today. As an opposite of so many monotonic productions this dynamic opus contains everything from dark melodies, intense and harsh arrangements, heavy riffing and sheer brutality.
The new album is produced in co-operation with Dino Medanhodzic (Carnal Forge) and recorded in Elastic Studio. It was mixed and mastered by Pelle Saether in his legendary Studio Underground, Sweden.

Godhate will be touring Sweden, Russia, Ireland and the US during spring and summer 2010.
