Pure Steel Records Inks Deal With Ninja

German metal act Ninja has signed a worldwide distribution deal with Pure Steel Records. The band was formed 1986, broke up in 1992, reformed briefly in 1997 and then again with a new lineup in 2014. The band issued three full length albums before the 2014 reformation. In December 2014, the band self-released the fourth record "Into the Fire."

"Into The Fire" will be officially released via Pure Steel Records on CD (date to be announced later) and the first three albums "Invincible," "Liberty" and "Valley of Wolves" will be re-released as part of the classic series on Karthago Records.

The band's current lineup features ex-Black Messiah guitarist Frangus, who joined earlier this year, as well as Universe drummer Hans Heringer, who join original members Ulrich Siefen (guitar) and Holger vom Scheidt (vocals).
