HEROD Signs With DARK HARVEST RECORDS

April 24, 2009

Buffalo, New York-based power/thrash metal band HEROD has inked a deal with Dark Harvest Records for the release of the group's new EP. The first new material from HEROD in almost three years, "Curse of the King" includes four new tracks that will be exclusive to the release as well as a cover song. The CD was recorded with Mike Hatalak from the band IT DIES TODAY at DWS Studios in Niagara Falls, New York, with assistance from former HEROD vocalist Judah Nero. (Hatalak previously recorded HEROD's 2004 opus "For Whom the God's Would Destroy".) Artwork will once again be handled by Rob Antonucci of Luchador Media. A June release is expected.

Commented the label in a statement: "All of us here at Dark Harvest Records are honored to have HEROD as a part of the label. We have been fans of the band ourselves for years and to have them now as one of our artists just gives us the drive to take it to another level in the industry! We are all musicians here and work with our artists as partners, friends, and brothers, we are excited to be the choice for HEROD on this release and look forward to working with them."

During HEROD's downtime between records, members formed/performed/toured with such bands as FACE THE PANIC (Reaper Records),SONS OF AZRAEL (Ironclad Records) and THE RED BADGE.
