Blotted Science - Sign With Basick Records
Basick Records press release
We are more than a little excited to announce that the incredible Blotted Science have joined our ever growing family of forward thinking and progressive metal acts!
Featuring the talents of guitarist/mastermind Ron Jarzombek (Watchtower, Terrestrial Exiled, Spastic Ink), bassist Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal), and new arrival, drummer Hannes Grossmann (Obscura, Terrestrial Exiled), Blotted Science produce some of the most extreme technical music known to man.
Ron Jarzombek, guitarist and evil genius behind Blotted Science commented: "I'm really excited to be partnering with Barley and the Basick Records crew on the new Blotted Science record, The Animation Of Entomology. They are a young, exciting company on the cutting edge, whose roster is very much compatible with what Blotted Science is all about, so I feel like this will be a great home for us. Feeding The Animation Of Entomology into their distribution channels should noticeably improve our retail visibility and availability compared to The Machinations Of Dementia. I'm looking forward to working with Basik and maximizing our potential to the fullest in Europe!"
Basick label owner Barley, also comments: "Having been a huge admirer of Ron's output for a number of years, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Blotted Science to the family! I can't wait to get this record out to all our dedicated fans in Europe!"
Set for release via Basick on November 28th 2011, Blotted Science's EP - The Animation Of Entomology (the follow-up to the band's highly acclaimed 2007 The Machinations Of Dementia) will once again raise the bar for extreme, instrumental progressive metal.

Rich, Mesa Boogie, GHS, D'Addario etc.. that endorsed us we thank you so much for the support.
We'd like to thank our family and friends for always being there for us through the good and tough times.

Nothnegal - Debut Album Title Revealed
Season Of Mist press release
Nothnegal's debut album is finally in sight! The Maldivian band named their upcoming full-length Decadence.
Guitarist Hilarl commented: "Decadence is Nothnegal's first official studio release and the first release featuring the current line-up, with Fufu handling both the guitar and vocal duties, Marco on keyboards and Kevin on drums.
The writing process of Decadence began in summer 2010 and has been quite a challenge for us as we have taken time to do a lot of experimentation on the sound shifting more towards thrash and progressive metal with industrial elements making it entirely different from the sound we had on our 2009 4 track demo, Antidote Of Realism.
With a completely new and original sound and attitude we feel like we starting again from scratch as we believe Nothnegal have finally discovered its sound with 'Decadence'."
Decadence was mixed by Greg Reely (Fear Factory, Machine Head, Devin Townsend) and Ahti Kortelainen (Sentenced, Sonata Arctica), and has been scheduled for a January 20th (January 24th in the US) 2012 release.

Borknagar - Part Ways With Drummer
Official press release
Borknagar have decided to part ways with the US drummer David Kinkade. This is first and foremost due to the logistical challenges we have been facing having a US drummer in a Norwegian band the last couple of years. Sometimes reality bites and in order to be a fully operative band, we need a drummer based in Norway. The split is of friendly manner and we would like to say thanks for everything David has contributed with in relations to the band and we would also like to wish him the best of luck for his future endevours.
Borknagar is currently finishing up the recording of the 9th. album which is planned to be released early next year. As we speak Vintersorg and ICS Vortex are working on the vocal arrangements and we are all exited about the new effort we currently are brewing. The album will be mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren in Fascination Street Studio later this years.
More details and information will be issued soon!
