Philip Lawvere, the artist who in the past created album covers for KREATOR ("Pleasure To Kill") and CELTIC FROST ("Emperor’s Return"), will design the new HIRAX album, which is scheduled for a Spring 2013 release. HIRAX front man Katon W. De Pena commented: "We couldn’t be happier to have Philip Lawvere illustrating the cover of our new album; after getting Bill Metoyer to produce it, this is truly the icing on the Thrash Metal cake!"

In other news, HIRAX is pleased to announce that their new single "La Boca De La Bestia (The Mouth Of The Beast)" is the most downloaded song in the history of the band.
