Swedish-American power metal group Northtale have signed an album contract with Nuclear Blast Records, revealing this development on April 4th, 2019.
Guitarist Bill Hudson and vocalist Christian Eriksson commented: “We are beyond thrilled to announce that we have signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records. Growing up listening to records they have put out has greatly influenced music and the way we look at it. It is beyond humbling to be able to have our first album out on such an influential record label, one that has from the very beginning embraced us as family. Being a part of the Nuclear Blast family will allow us to put our music in front of every single heavy metal fan willing to listen, as well as give us the opportunity to play for them live. We cannot wait to play as many shows as we can and bring our music out on tour with us. See you on the road.”
Nuclear Blast A&R / head of promotion Markus Wosgien added: “We’ve been following Northtale since their formation as we’ve always had huge power metal fans in our company. Of course, we expected nothing but irresistible tracks from the group — just take a look at the amazing pedigree of their line-up… How can you expect anything else? And we were not only proven right, the result easily exceeded our hopes! Since the arrival of Welcome To Paradise, we’ve been spinning them endlessly. We’re happy to introduce Northtale to the metal world and to be able to unleash their refreshing debut album upon the world very soon.”
Northtale’s line-up is as follows;
Christian Eriksson (vocals, ex-Twilight Force)
Bill Hudson (guitars, Trans-Siberian Orchestra / I Am Morbid / ex-U.D.O./ ex-Dirkschneider)
Mikael Planefeldt (bass)
Jimmy Pitts (keyboards)
Patrick Johansson (drums, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen / ex-Wasp)
Debut full-length studio album Welcome To Paradise is slated for summer 2019 issue.
