Norwegian black metallers Sarkom are pleased to announce that they have inked a two-album deal with Dark Essence Records. The band is currently working on their third full-length album, entitled Doomsday Elite, which will be released later this year. More exact details will follow soon.

Commented on the new album and the band's place in the black metal scene, vocalist Unsgaard says: "It is said that black metal is about individuality and not following trends. I am not saying that Sarkom is a black metal band, but it sure is extreme enough and most likely that is how we will be categorised. Personally I don't mind what label people tag us with, but with this album I can say that we have gone beyond the borders of what is accepted within the "scene", at least the scene as defined by those who see themselves as "true". According to the trend nowadays, which has absolutely nothing to do with what black metal is actually about, we should probably have played either old school heavy/prog or occult trash/black metal to gain maximum publicity. But fuck that. We do what we want and that's exactly how it should be. We also have no intention of repeating ourselves and it is my hope, and intention, that Sarkom will keep developing in the future, in one way or the other. I am sure that some Sarkom fans are expecting another Bestial Supremacy and they will be surprised by Doomsday Elite. With four songwriters from different backgrounds this is, and is meant to be, an album without boundaries. Hopefully you will like it, but if not, you can always listen to Skyforger or something."
