SEVENTH CALLING, BEYOND FALLEN Sign With MELISSA RECORDS

January 4, 2007

Melissa Records, an intrepid new label based in The Netherlands, is putting the pedal to the U.S. metal. Created late 2006 and dedicated solely to power/progressive/thrash and heavy metal from the United States, Melissa promises to bring you the best that the versatile U.S. underground has to offer.

Commented the label in a press release, "As we are firmly rooted in the U.S. metal tradition of the Eighties, we strive for quality and for quality only. We exclusively release CDs that we would actually invest our own hard-earned cash in. Thus, every aspect in the process — from selecting the bands to creating the artwork — is handled with the utmost care. Value for money is the label's motto."

Melissa Records has announced its first signings: SEVENTH CALLING (Minnesota) and BEYOND FALLEN (Pennsylvania). "Both bands have been in existence for a number of years, gigged steadily and released CDs on their own, earning excellent reviews worldwide in the underground press," according the press release. "Although different in style, as pure metal bands SEVENTH CALLING and BEYOND FALLEN have those three essential things in common: fine songwriting skills, craftsmanship and the ability to set the stage alight. While SEVENTH CALLING goes for the dark power metal approach that is reminiscent of vintage METAL CHURCH, BEYOND FALLEN brings you a mixture of power metal and thrash with a progressive edge. CDs are slated for release on Melissa Records in spring 2007."
