Its been quite some time since We all got in a room together so,We're all looking forward to get down and jam Starting December for 2 weeks before the Holidays and then continue on starting January-April 2010. We have a catalog of songs to go through and from what I've been hearing from the others (Shawn,Josh,Jim and Corey) its sounding very different from the last record in every way now that there is 5 writers including myself. Some songs are heavy,dark,melodic and with a lot of color. A very well rounded record this is going to be.

In case you didn't know Hail is the all-star Metal who's who band featuring guitarist Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, BEYOND FEAR, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ICED EARTH), bassist David Ellefson (F5, MEGADETH) and for this tour drummer Roy Mayorga (STONE SOUR, SOULFLY).

Roy Mayorga has played with some of today's metal giants, Sepultura and Stone Sour to name two. Yet, there is more to Roy Mayorga than just a rock drummer. He's a talented musician whose background and influences go further beneath the surface than some might think.
