BROKEN HOPE have set “Mutilated & Assimilated” as the title of their seventh album, to be released before the end of the year.According to a press release, the follow-up to 2013’s “Omen Of Disease” possesses an extra-special touch as “all of Jeremy Wagner’s and Damian Leski’s rhythm guitar tracks feature the boys using only the original Jeff Hanneman [SLAYER] guitars Wagner acquired from Hanneman’s estate last year.”
Said Wagner: “These famous axes have already inspired and channeled many of the riffs I wrote for the next full-length.
“I feel a real responsibility to Jeff and to [Hanneman’s widow] Kathryn to use these guitars in a way that honors him. As long as I own these guitars, I will use them and carry on Jeff Hanneman’s legacy. He remains a huge influence to me, and I probably wouldn’t be here as an extreme metal guitarist/lyricist without him.”
