The legendary OMEN featuring mastermind Kenny Powell have signed a worldwide deal with the German Label Pure Steel Records. The band works on a production with their 9th official release "Hammer damage", which will be reeleased in the 3rd quarter of 2011. After some changes of band members at the vocalist and drums section half a year before, everybody thought OMEN would have got completed the best line up they could find, but listen yourself to the Pre-Song named Epitaph auf on their official My Space page (http://www.myspace.com/omenofficial) with the new OMEN: Kenny Powell (G)-Andy Haas (B) Wampa (Drums) and new vocalist Matt Story.
The comment from the label to the deal was: We are very happy that one of the best US-Metal bands from the 80s will work with us and we are all very excited waiting for the new LP and CD which will become a classic OMEN album in the style of their early works. So we are prepared for another "Battle cry"!
