SEASON OF MIST: INK MISERY INDEX, TERRORIZER and SOLSTAFIR
French record label SEASON OF MIST have inked deals with Maryland based grinders MISERY INDEX, legendary extreme metal warriors TERRORIZER and extreme metal war lords SOLSTAFIR. The new TERRORIZER lineup also features David Vincent (MORBID ANGEL) on bass.
FROM SEASON OF MIST:
Legendary Grindcore act TERRORIZER has risen once again from the remains of modern civilization to release another full length album!
The band’s 2011 line-up consists of Commando Pete Sandoval who remains dug into position on drums, blasting out armor-piercing beats and defending his territory as one of the most brutal drummers alive. Wolf, aka Anthony Rezhawk, the vocalist on the previous TERRORIZER album release “Darker Days Ahead”, returns for his second menacing oration of dark politicized prophecies about the apocalyptic near future. Also this line-up features David Vincent (Morbid Angel) on bass, ready to continue the onslaught he began with TERRORIZER's debut album masterpiece “World Downfall”. On guitar, it is the great honor of Katina Culture (Resistant Culture) to shred in place of the late Jesse Pintado, who's still felt to be in the band in heart and spirit. She's attempted to do justice to Jesse's frantic, yet precise tornado of riffing while adding her own style to the mix of sonic wreckage. The new album is in its final stage of production and will be upon mankind early 2012.

Pintado, a founding member and guitarist of TERRORIZER, died at Holland's Erasmus MC hospital on August 27, 2006 due to liver failure, only less than a week after the release of TERRORIZER's second album"Darker Days Ahead". His death effectively put TERRORIZER's future in question.
With an aggression and ferocity until then unheard, TERRORIZER took the scene by storm with the 1989 release of its highly acclaimed and genre-defining debut album, "World Downfall" (Earache Records). The LP established the band as a cult institution, and the musicians went on to concentrate on their future main outfits: Pete Sandoval (drums) withMORBID ANGEL and Jesse Pintado with NAPALM DEATH.
With "World Downfall", TERRORIZER created the "Reign In Blood" of grindcore, inspiring a generation of bands, their popularity never waning through these intervening years. The massive amount of available bootleg recordings and band merchandise, as well as rumors of a follow-up album, kept the TERRORIZER name alive.
The band issued the following statement about the signing: “We are happy to team up with SoM for the worldwide release of the next TERRORIZER album! We are currently finishing the recordings and expect to mix down the record after the summer! We are also determined to finally bring TERRORIZER on tour all over the globe next year to support the album’s release.”
Season of Mist is proud to welcome American grindcore quartet MISERY INDEX!
"Needless to say, we are very excited to start working with Season of Mist and to join an exceptional roster that includes many of our favorite bands", bassist / vocalist Jason Netherton states. "We will commence later this year to writing the next album, and with luck will enter the studio in 2012. Thanks to everyone who helped us get to where we are today, and cheers to Season of Mist for supporting us in our present and future endeavors."
SOLSTAFIR is the first Icelandic band to join the label's roster! Their new album has been set for an autumn 2011 release.
Frontman Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments: "On behalf of SOLSTAFIR, I can honestly say that we are delighted to have signed to Season of Mist, and we have full faith in that they will work with us in taking the band to a new level. Our new album will for sure make some jaw dropping and surprise many, and we feel that we have found the right home to spread the light of SOLSTAFIR all over the planet for years to come!"
