By on February 6, 2010

Melbourne metallers Hatchet Dawn have announced the departure of vocalist Adam Stewart and guitarist Ben Boyle from the band due to differences of opinion within the band. The remaining band members commented…

“Hatchet Dawn formally announces the unfortunate departure of 2 members in the band. Adam Stewart and Ben Boyle have decided to depart the band permanently, effective 27th January 2010.

Hatchet Dawn are currently working on solidifying a permanent replacement vocalist and guitarist in preparation for a planned new official release in 2010. Hatchet Dawn will be taking this opportunity to re-invent the band’s concept image and refine our musical direction into a fresh chapter of Extreme Hatchet Rock.

Hatchet Dawn will be returning to Adelaide on Saturday 6th March to perform at Enigma Bar 3 with ISAW, Shot in Paris and Arcadia. Hatchet Dawn’s previous visit to Adelaide was during the Halloween Chaos Tour ‘09 while supporting Marilyn Manson at Thebarton Theatre. Filling in for this performance on vocals will be Rob Cuzens from The Symbiosist/Dialysis along with guitarist Darren Smith from The Symbiosist. To celebrate the return to Adelaide with this exclusive line-up, Hatchet Dawn will be performing a Marilyn Manson cover, which will mark the first time the band has performed a cover live.“
