HADES: 'Re-United And Re-Ignited' DVD Available

Reunited '80s/'90s metallers HADES will release their second DVD, entitled "Re-United And Re-Ignited", featuring footage of the band's April 2010 reunion concert in Clifton, New Jersey. Produced by Jay Bones for Viking Digital, the DVD features the entire set by HADES from that evening. The setlist is primarily made up of songs off the band's first two CDs, "Resisting Success" and "If At First You Don't Succeed". The DVD also includes an intro by Don Jamieson from "That Metal Show" as well as seven songs from the NON-FICTION reunion show that was filmed a few months prior to the HADES concert. Bonus footage includes HADES rehearsing.

Commented HADES guitarist Dan Lorenzo: "EVERY major label was begging to release this DVD, but WE turned THEM down.

"No, not really. We did get some distributors who told us to print up copies and then ship the DVDs to them and then we could wait by the mailbox for them to mail us money... but we all know how that would turn out. The distributor would sell a few copies and NEVER pay us. So fuck them. We'll just release it ourselves."

The DVD will only be available directly from the band at DanLorenzo.net (under "Merch") as well as HADES' next show, which is scheduled for Saturday March 26 at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey.

As previously reported, Lorenzo will take part in a live in-studio interview on Wednesday, February 9 at 5:00 p.m. EST on 89.5 FM WSOU Seton Hall's Pirate Radio with DJ Omar Ahmad. Joining Dan in the studio will be former NON-FICTION bassist Kevin Bolembach, who will perform with HADES on March 26 at Dingbatz.

The interview can be heard in the New York City metro area on 89.5 FM or online at www.wsou.net.

HADES's lineup for the Dingbatz concert will be the same as that that performed at last year's Bang Your Head!!! festival on July 17 in Balingen, Germany — Alan Tecchio on vocals, Dan Lorenzo and Scott LePage on guitar, Tom Coombs on drums, and Kevin Bolembach (NON-FICTION) on bass. Support at the gig will come from PISTON DRIVEN and MAGUS BEAST. HADES will be joined on stage by former MANOWAR guitarist Ross "The Boss" Friedman to perform a song off the first MANOWAR LP.

Commented Tecchio: "This show is gonna be extra special thanks to the appearance of Ross The Boss! I cannot wait to jam with him and can only hope that I give the great Eric Adams the respect he deserves when we cover one of their early songs. This particular gig will have a wider range of HADES songs than the last time we played so that will make it different and unique as well."

Added Lorenzo, "We don't get a chance to jam together much before these shows with Scott (LePage) living in Dallas. When we played the Bang Your Head!!! festival, we only did songs from our first two CDs. This time we are going to be mixing in a few songs from the Metal Blade years plus an AC/DC cover in addition to the song with Ross."
