GRAVEHILL Enlists CARDIAC ARREST Guitarist Tom Knizner For San Diego Metal Swap Meet

With guitarist Hellfiend (aka Matt Harvey) committed to destroying the European countryside with EXHUMED, Los Angeles-based death metal horde GRAVEHILL have turned to CARDIAC ARREST ax-wielder Tom Knizner to fill-in for the band's performance at this year's San Diego Metal Swap Meet. An official statement from the band reads as follows:



"GRAVEHILL has a unique addition to our ranks for the San Diego Metal Swap Meet gig on April 23rd. Due to a scheduling conflict, Hellfiend is unable to attend since he will be gallivanting across Europe with EXHUMED! So without further ado we invited Tommy "Deathstrike" Knizner of CARDIAC ARREST to commit decibel homicide with us... GRAVEHILL is honored to have him aboard for this one of a kind event, we are looking forward to destroying The Ruby Room with Tommy Deathstrike!



HELL METAL HOLOCAUST!!!"



GRAVEHILL vocalist Mike Abominator further commented:



"The only other asshole that was brutal enough to kill with us for a fill in gig was Tom Knizner. We have become great friends with this Chicago metal maniac over the last few years, and he fits the criteria of a Gravehill member - Completely crazy and really doesn't give a flying fuck about anything else than playing death noise heavy metal at decibels that make posers piss and shit themselves! Plus he is noon beers deep by noon and he can still play better than all of these fancy fucks, so we look forward to Tommy Deathstrike's rancid riffs of terror for this special show in San Diego!"



GRAVEHILL recently finished recording their highly-anticipated new album, entitled When All Roads Lead To Hell. More details coming soon. Stay tuned fuckers!

GRAVEHILL's "Rites of the Pentagram" album was reissued on July 6 via Ibex Moon Records. The re-release comes with new packaging and includes the five-song "Metal of Death/Advocation of Murder & Suicide" EP.

Originally issued by Enucleation Records, "Rites of the Pentagram" is described in a press release as "how real death metal is done; no fruity keyboards, no emo or fake guttural vocals, no triggered drumming, no lame sub-par AT THE GATES wannabe riffs, no association with the word 'core' or a band name that is a sentence long and no cramming 5,000 riffs with political-themed lyrics."

Limited Edition Combo package featuring CD / DVD, T-Shirt, Patch available at: http://www.officialabyssrecords.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=77
