The End Records has signed the brand new Norweigan metal supergroup Age of Slience. The press release:

Once again, a constellation of multi-talents have joined forces to create an unstoppable juggernaut that will surely leave its mark on the music world as something new, original and unique. The End Records was the first (and thereafter only) label to receive a pre-production of the upcoming album earlier this year. The signing was then confirmed as we couldn’t let other labels get their hands on this before us. Featured in this project will be Lazare (Solefald, Borknagar), Eikind (Khold, Tulus), Hellhammer (Arcturus, Winds, Mayhem), and two other newcomers to the scene who go under the names Extant and Kobbergaard. Andy Winter, the mastermind behind Winds, is also be involved in the project. Many things can be said about the quite original concept, featuring music with hard-hitting guitars, blasting drums and expressionistic vocals, yet with the calm and soothing feel of atmospheric keyboards. This is a truly different musical experience, thrilling and intense yet meditative and deep. In other words another exciting addition to our unique and artistic roster. The band is entering the studio today [10/03] to begin recordings on the debut album. Be sure to check back for more news regarding this project as things develop further.
