BROKEN HOPE unleashed "OMEN OF DISEASE", 10/1/2013 via CENTURY MEDIA.
FROM BROKEN HOPE:
BROKEN HOPE recently overhauled their lineup by adding new bassist,
Diego Soria of DISGORGE, and new lead-guitarist, Matt Szlachta
(ex-CHIMAIRA). BH founding-father, JEREMY WAGNER, says:
"I'm far
beyond delighted with our new members--Diego and Matt. Both of these
guys are old friends of mine, and both are amazing musicians of the
highest order. Diego's history with extreme death-metaller's, DISGORGE,
and Matt's contributions to CHIMAIRA, bring a new level of
professionalism and brutality to BROKEN HOPE. Moreover, Diego and Matt
possess a true love for death metal and grind. Their passion for extreme
metal was something their predecessors lacked--and it's a most-welcome
adrenaline-shot that BROKEN HOPE needed badly. SEE YOU ALL IN
2015--STRONGER & SICKER THAN EVER!"
