ILLDISPOSED Splits With ROADRUNNER RECORDS
August 7, 2007Danish extreme metallers ILLDISPOSED have issued the following update:
"We are no longer part of the Roadrunner family. Roadrunner didn't pick their third option with us — and honestly that was what we hoped for. 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.
"Anyway, we've spent the last months negotiating with other labels and we will present our new label within the next few weeks. I can tell that this time we will be priority and that the new album will be out everywhere."
ILLDISPOSED guitarist/songwriter 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.
