Broken Hope to tour with Obituary[views:36245][posts:35]________________________________ [Jul 11,2012 7:18pm - zyklon ""] After 12 years, a sleeping death-metal monster praised by the likes of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DYING FETUS, JOB FOR A COWBOY and more, has awoken from the bowels of Chicago. BROKEN HOPE is thrilled to announce not only their highly-anticipated comeback, but also their direct support position on the upcoming Carnival Of Death tour, brought to you by Rock The Nation and sponsored by Fender. The new tour features headliners OBITUARY, as well as additional support from DECREPIT BIRTH, JUNGLE ROT and ENCRUST. Tour dates are scheduled to be announced very soon. In a recent statement, BROKEN HOPE guitarists Jeremy Wagner and Shaun Glass said, "For over a decade, we've listened to fans worldwide who've asked us to return. We've listened to our peers in bands who seen us at shows and said, 'When is BROKEN HOPE coming back?' Well, you have finally been heard, and frankly, we just miss it too goddamn much — the clubs, the metal, but especially you: the diehards, the most. "We decided as a first step to return back to the place that always felt like home: the road! So we are proud to announce that this fall, BROKEN HOPE will join forces with OBITUARY and join the Carnival Of Death tour! This tour will solidify that extreme music is still alive and well, we are ready, focused, and hungry to show you what we have in stored for you all! Moreover, we cherish and promote the legacy of our fallen brother, vocalist Joe Ptacek, as we travel from show to show and honor him, he will not be forgotten. With this being said, we would like to introduce Damian Leski of GORGASM on vocal duties, who will handle the tough task for the upcoming tours. Be ready to be 'Swamped in Gore'!!!!" BROKEN HOPE was formed in 1988 by guitarist/chief-lyricist Jeremy Wagner while he was in high school. In 1991, after releasing two demo tapes, BROKEN HOPE secured a recording contract with an independent record label which released "Swamped In Gore" worldwide. "Swamped In Gore" was the first death-metal album to ever be recorded digitally. By 1993, BROKEN HOPE quickly signed to Metal Blade Records and released four albums: "The Bowels of Repugnance", "Repulsive Conception", "Loathing", and the Metal Blade re-release of "Swamped In Gore". The band's third album, 1995's "Repulsive Conception", reached CMJ New Music Monthly's Metal Top 25 chart, as did the follow-up, 1997's "Loathing". The first four albums during the Metal Blade years are great examples of BROKEN HOPE's original fury and they are the albums that etched BROKEN HOPE's place in death-metal history. The first ten years of BROKEN HOPE's existence were filled with non-stop writing, touring, and constant visibility with these albums. By the end of the '90s, BROKEN HOPE parted ways with Metal Blade and went through lineup changes. The band produced one last album before the decade closed, the 1999 release, "Grotesque Blessings". After North American and European tours for the album and a few unsatisfactory lineup changes, the band went on hiatus in 2000. On January 20, 2010, original BROKEN HOPE vocalist Joe Ptacek committed suicide. Before his death, Ptacek met with Jeremy Wagner and Shaun Glass to discuss the resurrection of BROKEN HOPE. A plan was in motion with these three members to make the band a functioning reality. After taking some time off after Ptacek's death to reconsider their next moves, BROKEN HOPE signed with Hard Impact Management And Booking with the intention to make the band a full-time monster again. Now, BROKEN HOPE continues onward with main songwriters Jeremy Wagner and Shaun Glass keeping the beast alive… brutal as ever… and with live tour dates worldwide.[img] |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 12,2012 9:21am - largefreakatzero ""] I was thinking the same thing. Why did they have to ruin it with mentioning Devildriver and Slipknot? I got to see Broken Hope in Providence about 14 years ago. They killed it. |

| ______________________________ [Jul 12,2012 3:27pm - Yeti ""] dude, updating it to remove Devildriver and Slipknot but leaving in Black Dahlia and Handjob For A Cowboy does not change the context of Kevord's comment. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 12,2012 4:04pm - largefreakatzero ""] Actually I dislike every band they mentioned in the opening sentence of the gay press release, I was just calling out the worst of the worst. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 12,2012 5:24pm - Yeti ""] that was my point, not directed at you though. listing 5 shitty bands, removing 2 shitty bands, leaving 3 shitty bands does not equal anything. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 12,2012 5:24pm - Yeti ""] well Dying Fetus is only partially shitty. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 12,2012 6:24pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I wish I got to see Broken Hope back in the 90s, but I'm still pumped as fuck to be able to see them. |

I realize not everyone is not gonna like all those bands, I just copied it and pasted it from blabbermouth. Jfac's last 2 albums ain't that bad, better than that deathcore shit they were playing in the beginning |

' I was going to say the same thing, but since you already said it... Seeing them now wouldn't be quite the same, but it would still be amazing. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 15,2012 7:56pm - Hopereallyisbroken ""] Hopefully the MA/RI area show isn't in September. Between The Atlas Moth on the 4th, Rush on the 7th, Kreator on the 8th, Progpower on the 14th/15th, Devin Townsend Project on the 21st, Moonsorrow on the 23rd, Morbid Angel on the 29th and then Jethro Tull in early october and Kataklysm in late August... so many fucking amazing shows. Plus, Primordial / While Heaven Wept are doing a tour which will most likely hit MA in September as well. Fuck. |
| ___________________________________________________________ [Jul 15,2012 8:16pm - Big bag of assorted nigger parts ""] Broken Hope totally sucks. Bought one of the CDs on high recommendation, couldn't believe how terrible it was. Pass. Would like to see Obituary though. |

Jungle Rot is awful. |

It wasn't at Babyhead, I wanna say The Met, but not totally sure. Broken Hope, Vital, Evilution, and perhaps one more, but I can't remember. |

No, I wasn't debating that the show you saw was at Babyhead, I just remember the one I saw wasn't. I do recall seeing Deicide at Babyhead in maybe 94 or 95, but I can't remember who opened (wasn't Broken Hope). We actually got the Evilution guys to come up to NH to play our crappy pigroast. They brought their Satanic priest lol, good times indeed. |
