Still riding high off the popularity of their 5 song debut EP, "Who Needs A Shepherd?", the Phoenix Music Awards 'Metal Band of the Year' have enlisted the services of legendary producer, Ryan Greene to rework the single, "Shadow of Death". Known for his work with Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Megadeth, and many others, Ryan Greene pushed Hemoptysis to their creative limits and beyond. The single was also mastered by George Marino (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Sepultura, and more).
Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, Hemoptysis have steadily made a name for themselves, brilliantly combining old school Thrash and modern Death Metal. Strong live performances and increased radio airplay have garnered much industry attention, leading to the band's recent signing with Desert Core Management & Consulting,
Supporting the new release with a full schedule, Hemoptysis will be guest performers at the Back From Ashes video release party on August 8, 2009. The band will also be in support of Obituary and GoatWhore on September 4, 2009, and will of course be a part of the festivities surrounding the Los Angeles / Phoenix Music Awards on November 12, 2009 at the Music Box Theater in Hollywood.
