ANGEL BLAKE Parts Ways With METAL BLADE RECORDS

March 9, 2007

ANGEL BLAKE guitarist Marko Tervonen (ex-THE CROWN) has issued the following update:

"ANGEL BLAKE's contract with Metal Blade has ended and the time has come to once again move on. Interesting times indeed.

"As mentioned before, I'm right now in pre-production mode. I have recorded five new songs and last weekend [vocalist] Tony [Jelencovich; ex-MNEMIC, TRANSPORT LEAGUE] was in the studio and we completed two songs. Tomorrow Tony will come back and we'll do the finishing three songs. The plan is to send this demo to the labels that have shown interest. Hopefully the real recordings can start within a couple of months.

"I'm really psyched about the new songs. I'm still proud of the debut album, I think it was a strong debut that had some fresh and cool ideas. The debut album was about 70% old ideas, but now the songs are pretty much all based on new ideas. So in my opinion this feels more unique. It's heavy, it's sombre, it's powerful with a lot of catchy hooks = ANGEL BLAKE. The overall tempo has a bit more energy, and made to get the adrenaline going on live. But the ANGEL BLAKE sound is still 100% present with a healthy dose of new ideas pushing everything forward. It's still 100% heart, and this time it's more present than ever. Can't wait to get this monster out in its fullest form!!!!"

ANGEL BLAKE's current lineup is as follows:

Tony Jelencovich (ex-MNEMIC, TRANSPORT LEAGUE) - Vocals
Marko Tervonen (ex-THE CROWN) - Guitars
Janne Saarenpää (ex-THE CROWN) - Drums
Örjan Wressel - Contrabass
Anders Edlund (INCAPACITY, SOLAR DAWN) - Guitars

ANGEL BLAKE's self-titled debut album was released in North America on April 4, 2006 via Metal Blade Records. The CD was recorded at Tervonen's Studio MT, which is located three kilometers from Trollhättan, Sweden.
