German black/death metallers NEGATOR have finished recording their fourth album at Hammer Studios in Hamburg with producer Eike Freese (GAMMA RAY, CALLEJON, DARK AGE, NEOPERA) for an early 2013 release via Viva Hate Records. The follow-up to 2010's "Panzer Metal" will be mixed and mastered in January.

Says the band: "The highly anticipated fourth album will see the black of the world in spring 2013 and will — again — take no prisoners. The Panzer keeps on rolling relentlessly, even though there will be some surprises. Expect nothing but a great NEGATOR album. And it will be that very year — 2013 — when the NEGATOR will see his 10th anniversary. And after one decade of raging, extreme black metal one thing still applies: lined up to create values — made to be indispensable!"

In other news, NEGATOR has released a limited-edition seven-inch single, "The Great Atrocities", on white vinyl through EMP. The single comes with a dark-gray-logo shirt and is limited to only 200 copies worldwide.

NEGATOR vocalist Nachtgarm has been fronting Swedish black metallers DARK FUNERAL since June 2011.
