Metal 2007...The Official Thread

The Firstborn - The Noble Search (atmospheric avant-garde black metal; Pro-con Media)


*might be independent since their Myspace page says they have no label, but MA says they do, and neither of their official sites are working so I can't confirm it.

We find ourselves without a proper label, at the moment. Right now we're just worried about getting the album recorded (which should happen in September) and only then will we try to get a label to release it.

Unfortunate thing regarding the website, we had some problems with the company hosting it and only when the album's ready will we work on getting it back online, with all adequate updates and improvements.

A bit more info can be found here.
