HOD Welcomes New Bassist
January 23, 2015, 9 years ago
San Antonio blackened death horde, Hod, is pleased to officially induct bassist, ZVS Gastelum, into their infernal ranks. Gastelum comes by way of Texas black metal legion, Plutonian Shore, as well as Gnostic and replaced longtime HOD comrade, Robert "Trans AM" Coleman.
Comments the band, "Changes suck but sometimes they have to happen. After many years of service and brotherhood our brother Robert 'Trans AM' Coleman is no longer in Hod. TA will be missed for sure. We hope he gets everything he wants with his current projects and future endeavors. Best of luck to you, brother! We would also like to welcome ZVS Gastelum. ZVS had been filling in on bass while TA was out with Goatwhore, and did a great job. So the choice to bring ZVS into the fold was an easy one to make. ZVS fronts his own band Plutonian Shore, and brings with him many years of live experience. The guy will crush your skull! We are stoked to get out on the road with this demon and unleash hell!"
Hod released their Book Of The Worm full-length last Fall via Arctic Music. Named in honor of the Norse figure known as "the blind god," a son of Odin, Hod persecutes the believers of more traditional religious beliefs with a relentless, kingdom-toppling brew of blackened death. Produced by Dennis Munoz (Solstice) and featuring artwork by Jon Zig (Averse Sefira, Deeds Of Flesh, Pyrexia), Book Of The Worm is Hod's first full-length since 2009's Ibex Moon-released Serpent, amidst several smaller releases, delivering their most catastrophic material to date.
