BOOK OF BLACK EARTH Signs With PROSTHETIC RECORDS

April 16, 2008

Prosthetic Records has announced the signing of Seattle's death/black metallers BOOK OF BLACK EARTH. The group, which consists of members of venerable metal underground band TEEN CTHULHU, is currently writing material for its second full-length album, having already released a self-financed demo in 2004, a split CD with underground legends FALL OF THE BASTARDS in 2005, and 2006's "The Feast".

Comments drummer Joe Axler: "We are all very excited to work with Prosthetic Records and the people behind it. We feel like this is a good step for us as a band and a good home. BOOK OF BLACK EARTH is currently finishing writing for our Prosthetic debut which will be titled 'Horoskopus', and entering The Red Room Studios in Seattle this week to start tracking with producer/engineer Chris Common (MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT, THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES). This is by far our most technical, heavy and challenging set of songs to date. It's definitely pushing the envelope for us, which we stand behind, and will make this record the most brutal one we have written."

"'Horoskopus' is a concept album about the hidden astrological elements of the Christian church," vocalist/guitarist T.J. Cowgill adds. "From its origins as a state sponsored religion in the fourth century to the present day, it has been guided by astrological concepts conceived centuries before Jesus Christ was mythologized as the 'Sun' of God."
