ILLDISPOSED Signs With AFM RECORDS

August 23, 2007

Danish extreme metallers ILLDISPOSED have inked a new worldwide deal with AFM Records. The group's new album is tentatively scheduled for release on March 28, 2008.

Commented guitarist Jakob Batten: "This will be the beginning of a new chapter in the illdisbook and we're looking forward to work with these guys. It's time for being a priority now. For some years our albums have been limited to Europe and a few other territories — now it's time for the whole world to be able to buy our albums at their local album pusher again. The new album will contain 12 songs of groovy brutality."

ILLDISPOSED announced earlier in the month that it had parted ways with Roadrunner Records after Roadrunner "didn't pick their third option with us." The band added, "We had a great time with Roadrunner, but it was a big problem to us that they refused to release our albums in the U.S. and other important territories. Their company structure and way of working doesn't fit a death metal band; we're not mainstream enough for that. But they did open a lot of doors for us and we're grateful for that."

Jakob Batten previously announced that the group's new album would be recorded with longtime producer Ziggy and mixed at Studio Fredman in Sweden with Fredrik Nordström.

Regarding the new material, Batten said, "Heavy stuff, heavy sound, membrane-shredding tunes is what you can expect. It will be killer! . . . This time we're going in a more old-school direction, more heavy bass-drum parts and way less electronics."

ILLDISPOSED's latest CD, "Burn Me Wicked", entered the Danish album chart at position No. 58 in June 2006. The follow-up to 2004's "1-800 Vindication" was recorded at ZigZound Studio during November/December 2005 with producer Ziggy and was mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm studio.
