ARAFEL Signs With NOISEART RECORDS

October 18, 2010

ARAFEL, hailing from Israel/Germany, has inked a deal with NoiseArt Records. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on its third full-length album, "For Battles Once Fought", for an early 2011 release. A four-minute medley of songs that will appear on the new CD is available for streaming on the group's MySpace page.

ARAFEL ("fog" in hebrew) was created in 1997 in Tel Aviv-Israel and is now fronted by German vocalist Helge Stang, formerly of EQUILIBRIUM. Having started out by playing black metal influenced by Slavonic folk music, the band went through several personnel changes and eventually added a a violinist to its lineup. In early 2009 the group took its musical core to new heights by adding more folk overtones along with death-metal elements and added its final member.

ARAFEL is:

Helge - Vocals
Felius - Guitar
R.K. - Bass
Leshii - Drums
Nasha - Violin

Commented the band: "We are happy and proud to be a part of Noise Art Records and Rock The Nation family! We gave our share of blood, sweat and tears to achieve this and it set an example that if you work hard for the things you want nothing will stand in your way. We in ARAFEL really believe in the music we are doing and we want to thank Noise Art Records for believing in us, too!

"ARAFEL is more than ready to start making a battlefield bloodbath around the globe and will first invade your hometowns at PaganFest 2011 along with KORPIKLAANI, MOONSORROW, UNLEASHED, KIVIMETSÄN DRUIDI, VARG and more. We are very excited to share a stage with such bands and looking forward to meet the European crowd!"
