The Forsaken

The Forsaken sign with Massacre Records

Swedish death metal juggernaut The Forsaken is proud to announce signing a new European deal with German label Massacre Records.

Returning to the scene's spotlight some years of silence with the band's original line-up's core intact, only new among the line-up ranks is guitarist Calle Fäldt (ex-Deranged, Feared Creation), replacing Stefan Holm on guitars. A full-time member since winter of 2010, he is a perfectly adjusted wheel in the machinery of The Forsaken, fitting perfectly both in his string execution and in the band's chemistry. With a complete line-up once again, The Forsaken are ready to unleash destruction upon the masses once more.

The upcoming, yet untitled fourth album is estimated for release in the spring of 2012. Mixing duties have fallen on the legendary Fascination Street studio (Amon Amarth, Opeth, etc.) and supporters of The Forsaken will easily recognize the band's trademark sound and hellish groove, established on the previous releases ('Manifest of Hate' – 2001, 'Arts of Desolation' – 2002 and 'Traces of the Past' – 2003, all launched worldwide via Century Media Records) as well as showcased on European touring with bands such as Nile, The Haunted, Grave, Soilwork or also Caliban.
