KEEP OF KALESSIN Sign With TABU RECORDINGS

January 12, 2005

Norwegian black metallers KEEP OF KALESSIN, featuring Obsidian C. (a.k.a. Arnt Grønbech, also a touring guitarist for SATYRICON) on guitars/bass/synth, have signed a new record deal with the Norwegian label Tabu Recordings, a division of Tuba Records.

"We have great belief in this label and they also have great belief in the band!" stated Obsidian. "Together we'll make sure that the new KEEP OF KALESSIN album won't go into the stores unnoticed!"

In addition to the new record deal, KEEP OF KALESSIN have a new agreement with R:evolver Booking. "The band is pleased that someone finally see the potential in their live performances and hopefully this will result in that fans all over the world can experience KEEP OF KALESSIN live!" the group said in a statement.

KEEP OF KALESSIN's new full-length album is scheduled to be recorded this summer for a fall release.

As previously reported, KEEP OF KALESSIN recently parted ways with drummer Frost (a.k.a. Kjetil Haraldstad, SATYRICON) due to the long distance between him and Obsidian. Replacing him in the group's lineup is the band's old drummer Vyl.

KEEP OF KALESSIN's most recent mini-album, "Reclaim", was released in December 2003 through FaceFront Records. The group's first release since 1999's "Agnen: A Journey through the Dark" (Avantgarde),"Reclaim" has been described as a new milestone in Norwegian black metal by the Norwegian press. "Reclaim" is available in the U.S. through The End mail-order.
