Hirax will enter the studio early 2013 for a new album release in September under their new worldwide deal with Steamhammer/SPV. The album will be followed by a world tour. Hirax front man, Katon W. De Pena, on signing to SPV: "We are honored to now be a part of the SPV Records family and we appreciate their total support of our thrash metal music. Together we are going to bring the heavy metal music world one hell of a skull crushing album in 2013".
Steamhammer/SPV A&R Olly Hahn adds:" It΄s an honor to have Katon and Hirax on our label. Through all the years Katon held the flag of metal high and also played places of the earth where nobody would. It΄s time for another raging violence!"
