Norwegian black metallers Den Saakaldte, who recently [url=]parted ways[/url] with Pulverised Records to get a new label closer to their home country, have now inked a deal with Agonia Records from Poland.

Den Saakaldte guitarist Sykelig commented on the events as follows: "Many dramatic changes occured during the last one year in Den Saakaldte's reality. When Niklas Kvarforth decided no longer to continue with the band, many things passed from our minds... even just dropping the whole damn thing off.

After the band discussing and coming to the conclusion that all the members wanted Den Saakaldte to continue being active as a way of artistic expression but also as in a lifestyle attitude for us, we decided that certain things had to be put down and start all over again.

Agonia Records that has been following our ways and sharing our ideas on how things should be, gave us the opportunity to built the foundations for Kapittel II: Faen I Helvete on solid ground. Filip showed to us with quite devotion, the how much he wanted the band in Agonia Records' roster. We are looking forward to start with the recordings and we are even more excited to hear soundscapes, having now Mr Hægeland as frontman.

The future looks dark ...and quite much pissed off."

Norwegian black metal quintet Den Saakaldte have said their farewell to Singaporean label Pulverised Records. The band is now looking for a new record label located closer to their home country.

Stated Den Saakaldte guitarist Mikael Siouzios (but you can call him Sykelig): "Many things changed during the last period of time for us as individuals and as an affect, to Den Saakaldte as well.

We felt and considered that we would like all factors surrounding the band and genereting life to the band to be surrounding us and to be more direct to us. We took the decision that Den Saakaldte's future would work better if the record label that we are signed by, is based in Europe. Pulverised Records that has always been in supportive spirit, respected this decision of ours and we agreed to part ways as friends and with mutual appreciation & respect.

We thank Pulverised Records for the faith and trust they've shown to us and we wish to the label all success with their future releases. Den Saakaldte will soon take decisions on what is to happen."

Talking about Shining, it's only been a few days since Niklas Kvarforth announced his departure from one of his other bands Den Saakaldte.

That band has now introduced their new vocalist in the person of Øyvind "Maztema" Hægeland (Spiral Architect, ex-Arcturus, ex-Lunaris).

[center][/center]

The band released the following statement: "When Niklas decided to leave Den Saakaldte in order to focus to his main band Shining, we knew that it would be damn difficult to find someone capable and charismatic like Niklas is.

We think we did well in finding that person... We are proud to announce that the new vocalist of Den Saakaldte, is no other than Mr. Øyvind Hægeland, known for his amazing work with Spiral Architect, Arcturus, Scariot, etc.

Øyvind has already started focusing on lyrics and different weird ideas he wants to express with Den Saakaldte's music. Vocals for the new album Kapittel II: Faen I Helvete are scheduled to be recorded, autumn 2011 and we are all damn excited about it."
