HECATE ENTHRONED have split with vocalist Dean. The singer has posted the following message at the band's official website (www.hecate-enthroned.co.uk):

"After over five years of being in Hecate Enthroned I have decided to hang up my vocal chords and call it a day. Hecate Enthroned wants to go to the next level, this is something I'm not completely at ease with, nor is it something I particularly want to be a part of. I certainly don't hold this against the band, I understand the need for progression, however it is not for me.

I would like to thank Rob, Daz, Dylan, Nige and Andy for the best roller coaster ride I have been on and wish them all the best with Redimus.

As for my future plans, nothing is certain except that no doubt I will be rearing my ugly head in the future, where and when is anybodys guess though. Watch this space!

Darkest Regards, Dean."

In other Hecate Enthroned news, the band entered The Blueroom Studios in Manchester, UK on January 3rd to record their forthcoming album, Redimus. The album is expected to be released in April or May. The band produced the effort themselves.

Says the band, "The name Redimus was chosen, it means 'We return' in Latin, self explanatory really. We feel the songs are much stronger than before, better crafted, we feel we have achieved a good balance between esoteric and all out brutality."

Tracks to appear on the new album include: 'No One Hears', 'An Eternal Belief - I Am Born Part III', 'The Shining Delight', 'Headhunter', 'Soil Of Sin', 'The Face Of Betrayal', 'Choose Misanthropy', 'As Fire', 'Overriding Imagination' and three more as-yet-unamed tracks, two of which are instrumentals.
