Hello, my name is Katon and I sing for a band called Hirax. I think somebody on your site wrote something about my old band and I thought they might like to know the following information. Feel free to e mail me.
Thank you.

HIRAX
Well hello there!! Hope you don't mind if I post your email on my webpage, which I like to do when band members write me personally, you're like the 4th or 5th so far...and I might just get a letter from Metallica's lawyers, if all goes according to plan. :)))
Anyway, the page in question is http://www.wgn.net/~space/cds/hirax.htm -- it also details my long, agonizing for your wonderful but oh-so-rare "Not Dead Yet" CD. And speaking of which, do have any current plans to reissue it?
Later,
King God Space
King God Space thanks for writing and thanks for your support! You have permission to post on your website whatever you damn well please. Anything that I would say to you I say from the heart, so if you post it in it's entirety I will have complete respect for you. Speaking of that, the Hirax CD in question Not Dead Yet when we figure out who we are going to release the new Hirax album with. We have already had 10 record companies contact us since we announced the reunion two weeks ago&but we not committed to any one label just yet. The response has been incredible! Record companies and fans have contacted us from all over the world&we are honored and surprised. We had no idea. We have been busy with other projects over the years, so none of us had kept up on the underground music scene. It wasn't until we put up our website www.blackdevilrecords.com and people were able to contact us from around the world&we began to realize our impact. We are working on a new record that will blow away anything that we have ever done in the past. We recorded Raging Violence and Hate Fear and Power when we were kids & it's fifteen years later and we haven't mellowed out&and we're better musicians now. The whole world is going to be blown away. We would like to thank all of our fans world wide for keeping the faith. After the new record comes out we will tour Europe, South American, and Japan. We're looking forward to seeing everybody on tour. Contact us at Black Devil Records for upcoming events. The CD that we have available on the website is a copy that I burn on my computer. We've been doing this for now because a lot of people couldn't wait for the reissue. (We're still putting the deal together for the reissue...so it'll be a little while before it comes out that way.) It is $20 plus postage outside of USA. We burn them custom...one at a time...with a Xerox cover...22 songs all together/ both Hirax records.
We just got in Hirax shirts. We have them in black, any size you need. $12 plus postage outside of USA.
When you hear the new record...you're going to be so fuckin proud of us. We're not going to let you guys down. We're fuckin stoked to be back! Wait til you see the shirts. The underground movement is alive and well again. the revolution has started.
Talk to you soon
Katon
