HIMSA Announces New Drummer

November 19, 2007

Seattle's HIMSA kicks off its first North American tour in almost two years tonight as the band hits the road with AMON AMARTH and SONIC SYNDICATE.

The inaugural episode of HIMSA TV, shot by King of Hearts Productions, has been posted online. In this wacky segment the guys give you a firsthand look into the insanity that took place at their record release show and present some outtakes from their "Unleash Carnage" video shoot. Watch it below.

Commented bassist Derek Harn: "It's been well over a year since we've done a full U.S. tour and we're all anxious to get back out on the road and rock you again.

"Our latest album, 'Summon In Thunder', has been getting great reviews and a lot of excitement from fans new and old.

"We'll be playing a lot of new material on these dates and we have a new powerhouse of a drummer named Joe Frothingham. He hails from the woods of Washington state and he loves to beat the hell out of his drums.

"We are very fortunate to be playing these dates with AMON AMARTH and look forward to making friends with them and SONIC SYNDICATE.

"Our thoughts and best wishes go out to the members of DECAPITATED and their families. Their presence on this tour will be sadly missed.

"We recently played our record release show in Seattle at El Corazon. We themed it out with tennis gear like the 'Unleash Carnage' video. Things got crazy, bodies and balls were flying constantly.

"Check out the webisode of that and the outtakes from the music video. We'll be bringing you another installment next week with more footage and craziness from the road.

"We look forward to seeing you headbanging in the crowds across the country. Be sure to stop by our merch table to give us some high-fives."
