Sólstafir is the first Icelandic band to join the label's roster. Their new album has been set for an autumn 2011 release.

Frontman Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments: "On behalf of Sólstafir, I can honestly say that we are delighted to have signed to Season of Mist, and we have full faith in that they will work with us in taking the band to a new level. Our new album will for sure make some jaw dropping and surprise many, and we feel that we have found the right home to spread the light of Sólstafir all over the planet for years to come!"

Legendary grindcore act Terrorizer has risen once again from the remains of modern civilization to release another full length album.

The band's 2011 line-up consists of Commando Pete Sandoval who remains dug into position on drums, blasting out armor-piercing beats and defending his territory as one of the most brutal drummers alive. Wolf, aka Anthony Rezhawk, the vocalist on the previous Terrorizer album release Darker Days Ahead, returns for his second menacing oration of dark politicized prophecies about the apocalyptic near future. Also this line-up features David Vincent (Morbid Angel) on bass, ready to continue the onslaught he began with Terrorizer's debut album masterpiece World Downfall. On guitar, it is the great honor of Katina Culture (Resistant Culture) to shred in place of the late Jesse Pintado, who's still felt to be in the band in heart and spirit. She's attempted to do justice to Jesse's frantic, yet precise tornado of riffing while adding her own style to the mix of sonic wreckage. The new album is in its final stage of production and will be upon mankind early 2012.

The band issued the following statement about the signing: "We are happy to team up with SoM for the worldwide release of the next Terrorizer album! We are currently finishing the recordings and expect to mix down the record after the summer! We are also determined to finally bring Terrorizer on tour all over the globe next year to support the album's release."
