BATTLELORE Extends Deal With NAPALM RECORDS

Finnish "fantasy metal" band BATTLELORE has extended its deal with Napalm Records.

Commented the group in a statement: "With our latest album, 'The Last Alliance', we fulfilled our previous recording deal and for a while we looked for other options to our next album. We got a lot of offers around the globe, but it was very clear that Napalm didn't want us to go and offered us a fine deal if we would continue with them. This new deal guarantees good conditions for our next album and touring."

BATTLELORE last year took part in the "Finnish Fire" European tour — featuring headliners KORPIKLAANI alongside KIVIMETSÄN DRUIDI and FALCHIO.

"The Last Alliance" entered the official chart in Finland at position No. 26. The CD was released in North America in October 2008 via Napalm Records. It was recorded at Sound Supreme Studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland, with producer Janne Saksa and was mixed and mastered by the Swedish multi-instrumentalist and producer Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, ex-BLOODBATH).
