Hate Eternal bass player Randy Piro has left the band with the following statement:
""From the deepest pits of my heart I thank Erik Rutan, Derek Roddy, Jared Anderson (may he rest in peace), and everyone in the Hate Eternal family for believing in my abilities, and bestowing upon me the honor of playing in one of the most extreme bands the world has ever heard."
"Hate Eternal has played a massive role in my life, and I will always look
upon my time spent jamming with Erik and Derek with warm emotions. I wish Erik Rutan and the band the world and its spoils, for the Hate truly is
Eternal..."
It's now been confirmed that Cannibal Corpse's Alex Webster will play bass on the band's new album which is due out in Autumn 2007. Rutan says of the new bass player:
""This record needs and deserves the best, and I think Alex is the best bass player I know. He is one of my best friends and know that Jared [Anderson] would be proud to have Alex be a part of Hate Eternal history. He was my first bass player in Hate Eternal when I started and am proud to have him back as a part of it."
