HATE ETERNAL bassist Randy Piro has announced his departure from the band. His statement reads as follows:
"With a heavy heart I announce to the world that I will be leaving Hate Eternal. I am at a cross roads in my life and I feel the need to change direction. I will be devoting my creativity to Gigan and my shcooling. From the deepest pits of my heart I thank Erik Rutan (guitars/vocals - ex-MORBID ANGEL), Derek Roddy (drums), Jared Anderson (late bassist; may he rest in peace), and everyone in the Hate Eternal family for believing in my abilities, and bestowing upon me the honor of playing in one of the most extreme bands the world has ever heard. Hate Eternal has played a massive role in my life, and I will always look upon my time spent jamming with Erik, and Derek with warm emotions. I wish Erik Rutan and the band the world and it's spoils, for the Hate truly is Eternal... listen for the footsteps."Erik Rutan comments:
"Randy and I both thought this was the right life change for him and I support everything he wants to do for his future. Randy always gave 100% while in the band and I appreciate all he has done for me and Hate Eternal. I wish him nothing but the best in his schooling, career and his life."Hate Eternal recently inked a new worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. The band are currently in the writing process for the follow-up to their 2005 release I, Monarch, that shall be recorded at Rutan's own Mana Recording Studios in June/July 2007.
