NAGLFAR, have signed a new worldwide record contract with Century Media Records [!] - 10 January 2005
Sweden's blackest of the black, NAGLFAR, have signed a new worldwide record contract with Century Media Records. Their new album, tentatively titled "Pariah", is currently being recorded at Ballerina Studios in the band's hometown of Umea. A wise decision as both preceding albums, "Diabolical" and "Sheol", had been recorded in this studio and gave the band's razor sharp sound its keen edge.
"Pariah" will be released in Spring 2005 and the new material promises to solidify NAGLFAR's reputation as one of the best - if not the best - bands in their musical genre. The expectations are of course high as the band's last masterpiece "Sheol" received excellent feedback without exception all over the globe, i.e. achieving the highest praise from the press - Album Of The Month in Legacy (D) and Heavy, Oder Was!? (D), or 10 out of 10 points Rock Hard (D), to name just a few -- and climbing to top ten positions in the reader's year-end polls of various magazines.
NAGLFAR, who had rewritten the rules of black metal with their debut "Vittra" in 1995 (this album ranks amongst the 300 best metal albums of all time in Rock Hard magazine) and have released the most brutal album of 1998 with their second output "Diabolical" (featuring immortal classics like "The Brimstone Gate" or the infamous "Horncrowned Majesty"), have always had a high standing in the black and death metal scene, which fully manifested itself with their last album "Sheol", gaining the band many more fans than ever before.
According to this history, it is no surprise that "Pariah" is one of the most-awaited albums in the metal scene this year. But from a band that has always delivered the highest quality, one can expect that "Pariah" will again be a damn classic of pure melodic Swedish black metal that will break the competition's neck.
Although the final tracklist is still to be announced, "Pariah" will contain the following tracks:
A Swarm Of Plagues
Revelations Carved In Flesh
And The World Shall Be Your Grave
Suffering To The Conquered
Carnal Scorn & Spiritual Malice
The Perpetual Horrors
Additional info on the other songs will follow soon.
