CRYSTAL BALL Signs With AFM RECORDS

June 23, 2007

Swiss melodic metallers CRYSTAL BALL have inked a deal with AFM Records. The group's sixth album, tentatively titled "Secrets", will be produced by Michael Bormann (ex-JADED HEART, BLOODBOUND) and it will be mixed by Achim Köhler (PRIMAL FEAR, BRAINSTORM). An October 26 release is expected.

According to a press release, "the band is describing their new material as a mixture of melody and heaviness. Compared to the 'TimeWalker' album [2005], the new material will go a bit more back to the roots. The new [CD] will contain straight rockers and heavy tracks as well."

CRYSTAL BALL's latest effort, "TimeWalker", entered the Swiss national album chart at position No. 56 in September 2005. The follow-up to 2003's "Hellvetia" was once again produced by Stefan Kaufmann (ACCEPT, U.D.O.) and includes 12 tracks.

CRYSTAL BALL features in its ranks frontman Mark Sweeney, who recently released his first solo album.
