Turkey's SARCOPHAGUS To Release New Single Via OSMOSE

Turkish black metallers SARCOPHAGUS have inked a deal with Osmose Productions for the release of a seven-inch single, "Hate Cult", featuring two songs with a guest appearance by Niklas "Kvarforth" Olsson of Sweden's SHINING. A full-length album, "Towards The Eternal Chaos", will follow later in the year. The CD was recorded at Midasin Kulakliklari studios and features "a more extreme and technical kind of classical black metal [with] minimized use of keyboards and specific vocal sound of Niklas Kvarforth which formed an integrity to the sound," according to a press release.
