Hello and welcome to this fourth edition of the Hanker Newsletter.

The Official HANKER Web Site:

The name of Hanker's Web site is now «The Official HANKER Web Site» as of last December 27th. The official band's URL is http://www.hankermetal.com. Please update your bookmarks and Web sites.

Snakes And Ladders:

Sound bytes from the album are now available on the site! Each excerpt is in MP3 stereo (CD quality) and Real Player (20 kbps). The first excerpt is the start to the track Hail To You, first single from the album. There are also sound bytes from the opening song of the album Ad Patres. New sound bytes will be made available very soon. Check out our Web site regularly. The album, HDCD mastered at Sony Music Studios in New York City by Mark Wilder and the artwork, made in Quebec City by Graphigne Communications, are now all ready to be manufactured. The end result is smashing.
