Off topic, I know, but it may be of interest to some. This is just a copy of the email I sent out today to those on my list. Lee.
Elitist Records, the new division of Earache, are very honoured to
be able to announce the signing of Russia's fantastic Forest
Stream. The band is presently working on their as-yet untitled
debut album for release later in the year. Taking elements of black metal and doom, Forest Stream composes melodic, atmospheric and heartfelt epics of the highest possible standard. Take a listen to the track "Mel Kor" from their demo here to see what we mean: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/252/forest_stream.html More
news on Forest Stream as soon as it comes available.
Elitist's debut release, the astonishing "Rephormula" by
state-of-the-art Italian black metallers Ephel Duath, is scheduled
for a release on January 28th. The album is a full 75 minutes in
length as it also features two remix tracks, plus the band's 1997
demo "Opera" as an added bonus. Ephel Duath is like no other
band you are likely to hear in the genre. One listener described
them as "the Dillinger Escape Plan of black metal", and in terms
of complexity and sheer precision it's easy to see why. That
comment doesn't take in Ephel Duath's instinctive sense of the
epic; the grandeur and majesty that sets them miles apart from
their so-called peers. The old kings are dead, and the new breed
is here to take the throne...
Ephel Duath will be doing interview days in Europe and the US,
so please contact sarah@earache.com (Europe) or
usapr@earache.com (US) should you wish to arrange anything.
Rakoth are presently finalizing the pre-production of their new
album, set to be recorded in April for a summer release. The band
take elements of folk, black metal and experimentalism and fuse
them to unique effect. Their debut album "Planeshift" got 100% in
Aardshok and 6 out of 5 in Norway's Scream Magazine! Expect
only the finest from this quality act.
Elitist is still negotiating with a couple more quality bands and
news of their signings will be brought to you as soon as we can let
you know. Also, our website will be up and running within a
couple of weeks. Again, we'll keep you informed.
As usual, the mailing address for demos is:
Elitist Records
Box 666
Reading
RG4 5AJ
England
If you feel you shouldn't be on this mailing list for whatever reason,
