SIGN OF THE JACKAL Signs With HEAVY ARTILLERY

May 20, 2009

Fans of ENFORCER, CAULDRON, IGNITOR, RAM, GATES OF SLUMBER, WOLF and traditional heavy metal, take note; when SIGN OF THE JACKAL come to fight for rock no prisoners will be taken!

Born in the frigid winter of 2007 in Rovereto, Italy, four friends were brought together by a mutual passion for classic heavy metal and horror movies. These four friends sought to create a band that paid homage to such '80s metal legends as WARLOCK, BLACK KNIGHT, TAIST OF IRON, BLACK LACE, JUDAS PRIEST and LIZZY BORDEN.

The core of SIGN OF THE JACKAL was formed with Bob on rhythm/lead guitar, Sergio Mate on drums, Kill on bass and lead vocalist and frontwoman Laura on vocals. The bulk of gigs in their first year found SIGN OF THE JACKAL covering their favorite classic metal songs, opting to avoid the hits and instead keep things interesting with a setlist full of rare b-sides and obscure album tracks. However, the group desired to write their own songs and have a fuller sound so in April 2008 rhythm guitarist Max was added to complete the lineup.

With the lineup complete, SIGN OF THE JACKAL quickly found their own sound, meshing together classic metal and horror influences to create a buzz for themselves amongst European underground metal fans. By winter 2008, SIGN OF THE JACKAL's debut two-track demo, the aptly named "Haunted House Tapes", found its way across the Atlantic for American underground metal fans and ultimately to Heavy Artillery.

Look for "Haunted House Tapes" appearing as a limited edition vinyl single on Heavy Artillery during fall 2009, to be followed by the band's debut full-length album in 2010.
