Gitarrist Heinz hat HATESPHERE nach fünf Jahren verlassen. Einen Ersatz haben die Dänen in Landsmann Jakob (u.a. KOLDBORN) gefunden. Das Statement der Band dazu:

"Heinz is no longer part of HateSphere. The decision was made long time ago, and we have therefore known it for a long time. There is no bad blood in the split - Heinz simply don´t like the touring part of music anymore - so we want to thank him for a great time in the band and wish him the best of luck in the future.

No need to worry as we have found a more than fitting replacement. Jakob from fellow Danish metallers, Dawn of Demise + Koldborn, is taking over the guitar duty in the band emidiately. We have known Jakob for a long time, and we are looking forward to finally hitting the big stages with him! Welcome to the band!

Your first chances to see him in action will be on our upcoming tours with Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir. Jakob has already played a show in Essen(DE) with us."
