You may recognise him from his feature spot on the album for Rotten, so we decided to rebirth it as a full band version with new lyrics. You can stream / download it out here... or watch the video below.

We are sad to announce the departure of founding member and vocalist Ben Marvin. Due to family commitments and a desire to spend more time at home, Ben has made the tough decision to part ways with the band at the end of the month following the hometown headline show at Milton Keynes’ Craufurd Arms (29th January) to mark Independent Venue Week. Limited tickets are still available from www.hacktivist.uk.com/shows, let's make it a rowdy send off!!!

Ben says: "My time in Hacktivist has been sick! Big up all the fans across the world and the rest of the band for making this possible. I will continue to write music, but can no longer dedicate full time hours into a touring band. This experience has been one to remember. Thank you EVERYBODY once again! One love.” We want to wish Ben all the best for his future endeavours. Hacktivist won't be the same without him and we will all miss him. But this is also a new beginning for H, and we're looking forward to the next chapter. What comes next for Hacktivist is unwritten, and a replacement for Ben will be sought out and subsequently announced in due course.

All future touring commitments will be honoured, including shows at UK Tech-Fest, Download Spain and Graspop.

Proud to be able to announce the details of the debut Hacktivist album, Outside The Box, which will be released worldwide by UNFD (except for North America, where Rise Records do the honours) on Friday 4th March…accompanied by a small handful of intimate UK shows prior to the band’s headline European tour.

Recorded and produced by guitarist Timfy J throughout the seance half of 2015, Outside The Box features eight brand new H tracks, plus brand new re-recording of Elevate, False Idols, and Deceive & Defy (which also now features a new guest vocal, this time by Jamie from Heart Of A Coward).

Also among the new songs and guest vocals are the tracks Taken, which was co-written by and features Rou from Enter Shikari, and Rotten which features the Astroid Boys guys & Jot Maxi, who also wrote their own bars for the track.

Outside The Box is released on CD and digital download, plus limited edition coloured vinyl LP. A selection of album + shirt + tour ticket options are available from HTTP://WWW.HACKTIVIST.UK.COM/STORE and worldwide here: http://smarturl.it/OTBmerch, plus the album will be available from all good record stores and online retailers.
