Vallenfyre Announces First Live Show
Century Media has issued the following announcement about Vallenfyre performing the band's first live show:
"We promised you that VALLENFYRE is not a one-off studio project, and we are now proud to announce their first ever live show! VALLENFYRE's stage debut will take place at the Tavastia Club in Helsinki, Finland on February 2nd, 2012."
Gregor Mackintosh (vocals and lead guitar) comments, "I have a long and happy history with Helsinki. From the Lepakko club 20 years ago, right up to the present day, it has always been one of my favourite places to be. I have many fond memories and have made many great friends over the years. It is for this reason I decided that the very first live performance by my new band VALLENFYRE should be in Helsinki. We have just released our debut album 'A Fragile King' through Century Media and anyone who likes their Death/Doom stirred in with some Crust should come down and see us."
More club shows and European summer festivals will be announced soon. The band's first live show is as follows:
2/2/12 -- Tavastia -- Helsinki, Finland (supported by CARNALATION)

Vallenfyre Signs To Century Media
Century Media has checked in with the following announcement about singing a deal with death metal act Vallenfyre:
"Century Media Records is proud to announce the signing of U.K. death metal band Vallenfyre! Like Israel's Sonne Adam, Vallenfyre debuted with a 7" single on the underground label Imperium Productions and also mixes classic death metal with doom-but in case of Vallenfyre, there's some additional British crust thrown into the mix."
In regards to the band's signing, Jens Prueter (Head Of A&R, Century Media Records Europe) also commented: "I was already blown away by Vallenfyre's old school orgy of doomy and crusty death metal riffs when I heard the first demo last Winter, and the new 7" sounds even better. So I couldn't hesitate to offer them a deal straight away. That's how we signed Grave and Asphyx over 20 years ago-- and we all know that it was a good decision. So welcome to another chapter of Century Media's Death Metal legacy. Vallenfyre's debut album 'A Fragile King' is already recorded and will be released in late October 2011. If you like a mix of early Entombed, Celtic Frost, Autopsy, and Amebix you should hurry up to buy the last few copies of the 'Desecration' 7" which was limited to only 500 copies by Imperium Productions."
The "Desecration / Iconoclast" 7" was released a few weeks ago, and a few copies are still available. To hear samples from both songs and to purchase the 7", head over to the Vallenfyre website.
