PITCHBLACK Signs With MIGHTY MUSIC
December 25, 2010Danish modern "melodeath thrashers" PITCHBLACK have inked a deal with the Danish label Mighty Music, which is a part of Target Records. The band's sophomore album, "The Devilty", will be released on February 28. The CD was recorded at guitarist Thomas "Pede" Pedersen's Earplug Studio in Copenhagen and was mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, SICK OF IT ALL, MNEMIC, HEAVEN SHALL BURN). The album features a guest appearance on lead guitar by Hank Shermann of MERCYFUL FATE. The bloody photo artwork was created by professional crime photographer Johnny Frederiksen who spent 17 years at the Danish most controversial tabloid Ekstra Bladet.
Commented the band: "We have had some offers beside Mighty Music, but they seemed to be the most serious and after one meeting with them, they left us with no doubt that they were the best for us. We had some more meetings with them and then we signed a contract.
"Right now we' re doing a video for the track 'You're Fucking Below Me' as well as we are planning gigs for 2011.
"We are so fucking eager to play the new material for you and we hope you like the shit that we've spent a lot of hours on!"
