MEMORY GARDEN Sign New Record Deal

MEMORY GARDEN, the Sweden-based band featuring former ABSKTRAKT ALGEBRA guitarist Simon Johansson, have inked a deal with Vic Records. "Vic Records will release our new album, 'Carnage Carnival', and also re-release our previous [out-of-print] albums 'Forever' and 'Tides'," the group write on their web site. "The re-releases will be upgraded with some extra material such as demo songs, rehearsal recordings, new recordings of never-before-released material and so on... [It] will be something for the collection... No exact release date is set yet but as it looks right now it will all happen in early fall."

MEMORY GARDEN split with Metal Blade Records in early 2002. The group's last full-length CD was "Mirage", which came out in 2000.
