BYFROST Signs With PAINKILLER RECORDS

December 23, 2009

Netherlands-based Painkiller Records (a sub-label of Apollon Entertainment UN Limited) has added Norwegian extreme metallers BYFROST to its roster, and will release the band's debut full-length album, "Black Earth", in the spring.

The follow-up to the band's self-released EP "Byfrostmetal", "Black Earth" features the following track listing:

01. Horns to the Sky
02. Black Earth
03. Night of Damnation
04. Lord Victorious
05. Desire
06. Wings of the Angel of Death
07. Evil Arise
08. Skull of God

Bergen-based BYFROST started out in 2007 when Heavy Harms and R.I.P Meister decided to form a band that would create a sound from the of merging cold, dark riffs together with melodic ones. With HeavyHarms taking vocals, the two guitarists recruited a drummer and bass player and recorded and released the "Byfrostmetal" EP in 2008. Soon after, the four-piece became a three-piece with R.I.P Meister switching over to five-string bass, and HELLISH OUTCAST's Alkolust taking over on drums.

With a permanent lineup now in place, BYFROST went on to play live both locally and throughout Europe, and in 2009 began work on "Black Earth". The album, which includes a guest appearance by ENSLAVED/AUDREY HORNE guitarist Arve Isdal on the track "Desire", was recorded at the Conclave/Earshot Studios in Bergen, and produced by Herbrand Larsen (ENSLAVED) and Bjørnar E. Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR). Artwork is currently being prepared by Christian Sloan Hall who has worked with artists such as TESTAMENT, DIMMU BORGIR, SLAYER etc.
