Hessian Morphs into Hessian A.D PDF Print Email
Written by Sameerah

Belgian bringers of pain Hessian have announced that they are changing their name to Hessian A.D. When this little bit of info first passed across my email I didn't think much of it--seeing that bands change their names all the time. But this name change only applies to them in the U.S. Everywhere else in the world they will be using the Hessian moniker we have grown to know and love. But when they touch down in U.S. soil they will be know as Hessian A.D. The band has released a leagalize statement for the name change, and it all seems to boil down to some kind of legal trouble. I suppose as long as they still rock I will used to the name change, but I do not envy the person that has to keep their merch straight.

A little sad news to cap off an already shitty Monday, word on the street is that Darsombra's Baltimare pad was broken into and all of their gear was stolen. Losing your gear is a devestaing blow to any band, but when you put on a show that is as visually intricate as Disombra the loss is esspecailly heavy. But to their credit the guys are keeping it classy and holding it together much better than I did when someone broke into my pad.

From Darsombra:

Gehenna has Just Canceled PDF Print Email
Written by Sameerah

Pressing legal issues has forced Gehenna to cancel all of the fated that were scheduled with Full of Hell next week.

This is what the band had to say about things:

 "Due to pressing legal matters GEHENNA will be canceling their entire U.S. tour.

Once things are cleared up the tour will be rebooked.

Until then check out the fully remastered and re-packaged limited edition reissue

of their long out of print and critically acclaimed debut album Negotium Perambulans In Tenebris."

 

I'm not sure how I feel about thier sticking a plug into their statement

when they're breaking the news that they have to cancel.

It feels a bit rude, but hey the band still has to eat.

And even though I don't know what their legal woes entail I

do know that lawyers aint cheap so am sure every album sale helps.

So if you want to help these kids get out of whatever trouble

they've gotten themsleves into you can pick up Negotium

Perambulans In Tenebris here http://www.a389records.com and here http://gehenna.bandcamp.com
