Drummer Chason Westmoreland has exited Hate Eternal, which is never a good thing. While we definitely hope things are okay with Westmoreland and his family, we're definitely excited that ex-Obscura drummer Hannes Grossmann has joined the band! Here's what Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan had to say about Grossmann being an addition to the group.
"Hannes is an incredible drummer, amazing person and absolute professional. We had the fortune of touring with Obscura many years ago and got to witness first hand the kind of pedigree Hannes is as a musician. Rehearsal is going great and we could not be more excited about getting out there on our first headlining tour for our new album ”Infernus” with Hannes behind the kit! Hope to see you all out there on the road!”
I kind of hope Grossmann permanently joins the band, honestly. The guy is disgustingly talented and would be an awesome addition!
