The reunited US heavy metal legends Sleepy Hollow from New Jersey have signed a world-wide three album deal with Europe's Pure Steel Records.

The bands return album 'Skull Thirteen' will be released on CD and as digital download via Pure Steel Records this fall season. The vinyl version of the album will be released through High Roller Records.

Sleepy Hollow return with the original line-up; Bob Mitchell - vocals, Steve Stegg - guitars, Steve Brink - bass guitars and Tom Wassman - drums.

Vocalist Bob Mitchell stated, "with the band now being signed, it just solidifies our reunion and it lends credibility to our return to the metal world. We thank our fans for the years of support, even though we have been away for all of these years, we thank you for waiting. We especially thank Volker Raabe for opening the door. We also thank Stefan Riermaier, Kay Anders, Markus and Andreas Lorenz for allowing us in and granting us this opportunity.

"Sleepy Hollow will work hard with our labels to ensure a successful tenure. A tour of Europe, as a support act, is on tap for 2012 which will include an appearance at The Swordbrothers Festival in Andernach, Germany. Details on all to follow."

Statement from Andreas Lorenz (general manager (CEO) of Pure Steel Records):

"Sleepy Hollow are for all US metal fans a real legend. It's a great honor for us to have this band on our label. Bob Mitchell is for me one of the best metal singers of all times. This band is in famous original line up again. We know that the band will create an metal-monster like the self-titled debut album."
