Former EPICA, DELAIN, AFTER FOREVER Members Join Forces In HANGOVER HERO

August 3, 2010

Former members of EPICA, DELAIN and AFTER FOREVER have joined forces in a brand new band called HANGOVER HERO. The Holland-based group recently completed a promotional recording at the Gate Studio (AVANTASIA, EPICA, KAMELOT) in Wolfsburg, Germany with Sascha Paeth and is currently seeking a label home. One of the songs that were laid down during the session, "Play In Band", is available for streaming below.

HANGOVER HERO is:

Ronald Landa (ex-DELAIN): Vocals, Guitar
Ad Sluijter (ex-EPICA): Guitar
Andre Borgman (ex-AFTER FOREVER): Drums
Mats van der Valk (AUTUMN): Bass

Regarding how the band came together, Ad recently stated, "I've known Ronald for quite some years now, I did some guest appearances with DELAIN, Ronald did a guest appearance with EPICA and throughout those years we became really good friends. We actually talked about forming a band together for a while already, but as with a lot of things, you talk and talk and talk about it and nothing happens, haha. But when Ronald decided to leave DELAIN, we decided to just sit down and write some music together, just to see where it would bring us. Without even having talked about a direction we wanted to go in, we just threw ideas at each other and ended up writing like three songs together."
