Portland, OR traditional metal squadron DARKBLACK recently inked a deal with California's StormSpell Records. Said the band of the union, "StormSpell is currently in the midst of waging an unending, seemingly pitched battle against the followers of the False Metal Gods (more or less weakling usurpers). We now, with our newest allies, raise our weapons of war to the sky! DARKBLACK will be the vanguard for this righteous cleansing of the weak, uninspired and mediocrity that plagues our world! StormSpell Records are true believers in the true Underground Heavy Metal movement!"
The band recently unleashed their debut full-length 'Sellsword', featuring over 49 minutes of music fit for true heavy metal believers! View the striking cover art by Halseycaust (Toxic Holocaust etc.) here: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=451309518&blogId=510129810
