Long live UK thrash !!
Taken directly from the press release that has just gone out ...
" Italian label Punishment 18 has announced their latest signing, young, up and coming UK thrashers Pitiful Reign. This announcement comes on the back of Pitiful Reigns most successful year to date, and after their triumphant appearance at Bloodstock Open Air last year.
In a career that has spanned only 2 short years, founder band members Josh Callis Smith, (vocals) Tom Small, (drums) Matt Walker, ( bass) and newcomers Nev Britton and Al Pashby (guitars) have gained a large following and a reputation for a great live show of beer fuelled thrash metal mayhem.
They were voted 3rd best UK unsigned live act last year in a poll conducted by Terrorizer magazine.
Other highlights in the past year have been support slots with some of the UK and Europes premier bands, including 80s thrash metal icons Onslaught and Xentrix, Germanys Reckless Tide, Panic Cell and Italys Warchild.
Label spokesperson Marita Mirabella said I first saw Pitiful Reign at the Annihilator fans party at Christmas 2005. Even though Punishment 18 was still in its infancy, I knew then that we wanted to add Pitiful Reign to our roster. They were a revelation.
Recording of the new album will begin in fall/winter 2007, with a likely release date being the beginning of 2008."
There will be a new interview with PR posted shortly on the British Metal site with lots more details.
Check it out !! :mrgreen:
