February 5, 2007

BLACK LIGHT BURNS, the new band featuring former LIMP BIZKIT guitarist Wes Borland, has inked a deal with producer Ross Robinson's new label I Am: Wolfpack. "I'll hopefully have the official release date [for the band's debut album, 'Cruel Melody'] next week, but it's looking like June," Wes writes on the band's MySpace page. "We're rehearsing now, and will be trying to make it over to Europe for some of the festivals this summer as well as North American touring. It's going to be loud, violent, really wet, and weird to be sure. This has been a REALLY long time coming, and I can't wait to see all of your faces."

Joining Borland on tour with BLACK LIGHT BURNS will be Marshall Kilpatric (ex-THE ESOTERIC) on drums, Nick Annis (THE OPEN HAND, TURN OF THE SCREW) on guitar, and two more as-yet-undetermined musicians (bassist and keyboardist).
