Strigaskór NR. 42 Inks Deal With Hellthrasher Productions

Hellthrasher Productions has issued the following announcement about signing a record deal with Strigaskór NR. 42:

"We are very excited to announce a worldwide deal with Icelandic industrial metal/punk legends Strigaskór NR. 42 – a band with quite a long history, but sporatic activity through the years.Formed in the late eighties, Strigaskór NR. 42 came to be at the forefront of the vibrant Icelandic death-metal scene in the early nineties (3-way split with Sororicide and In Memoriam released back in 1992).

"The band’s only full album to date, ‘Blót’ (1994), veered away from traditional metal style into more avantgarde sound and received widespread critical acclaim and a cult status in Iceland’s music community, being considered by many as the best metal album ever released by an Icelandic band.Now, nearly twenty years later, the band is back with a new album, 'Armadillo,' self-released digitally in September 2013, with the CD version coming later this year through our label.

"The band’s current incarnation draws its influences from legendary acts such as Voivod, Primus, Madness and Wire, while remaining a unique and colorful fusion of various styles. Rolling Stone Magazine called them 'a metal animal with big-band weight' and that sums them up perfectly."
