BROKEN HOPE recently overhauled their lineup, adding new bassist Diego Soria of DISGORGE and lead-guitarist Matt Szlachta (ex-CHIMAIRA). BH founder JEREMY WAGNER had this to say:
"I'm far beyond delighted with our new members--Diego and Matt. Both of these guys are old friends of mine, and both are amazing musicians of the highest order. Diego's history with extreme death-metaller's, DISGORGE, and Matt's contributions to CHIMAIRA, bring a new level of professionalism and brutality to BROKEN HOPE. Moreover, Diego and Matt possess a true love for death metal and grind. Their passion for extreme metal was something their predecessors lacked--and it's a most-welcome adrenaline-shot that BROKEN HOPE needed badly. SEE YOU ALL IN 2015--STRONGER & SICKER THAN EVER!"
