Swedish thrash metal band Mezzrow have signed an album contract with Fireflash Records, a subsidiary of Atomic Fire Records, revealing this development on October 17th, 2022.
Mezzrow issued the following statement: “This is absolutely awesome! It’s an honour to get signed to a totally new label with that kind of ‘muscles’. Markus Wosgien is a legend in the business and with his knowledge and experience, and with the backup power from Atomic Fire, this is without doubt the right decision for Mezzrow.”
Markus Wosgien, owner and founder of Fireflash Records, added: “Joacim Cans from HammerFall gave the guys the tip to contact me. I was surprised to read the name Mezzrow again after such a long time, my curiosity was aroused. When I heard their first five new tracks, they blew me away completely! We got in touch immediately and within a short time the right chemistry for a successful collaboration developed. Thrash metal fans can look forward to an absolute gem.”
Mezzrow’s line-up is as follows:
Uffe Pettersson (vocals, ex-Rosicrucian)
Conny Welén (bass, ex-Hexenhaus)
Magnus Söderman (guitars, Nightrage)
Ronnie Björnström (guitars, ex-Defiatory / ex-Aeon)
Jon Skäre (drums, Defiatory / Hulkoff)
Mezzrow is in the process of laying the finishing touches on their second full-length studio album, to be issued during spring 2023 through Fireflash Records. “Of course we have a bit of a new and updated sound, more mature and dark, but it’s still old school thrash metal from the Bay Area that lays the foundation,” commented Conny Welén. “We refuse to downtune the guitars and you can definitely hear what Uffe sings! Some of the songs are actually a bit melodic, but in a thrashy kind of way. So don’t worry, we don’t do any ballads.”
Debut studio record Then Came The Killing was released in 1990 via Active Records.
