Sentenced: 1993 demo recordings to be released on seven-inch vinyl
Heavy metal musician and journalist Chris "Professor" Black, perhaps best known as the frontman of Superchrist and as a longtime contributor to Metal Maniacs, has confirmed the first two releases for his new label, appropriately named Planet Metal."Real life kicked me out long ago, and now I couldn't get back in even if I wanted to," he explains. "Making music is my life, and releasing records is a natural way of keeping busy between gigs. The future may bring some literary publishing into the mix, but for now, the focus is on bringing killer metal recordings to the worldwide underground. Planet Metal releases won't be available from iTunes or at Best Buy. You'll need to rely on your local shops and underground distros instead!"
One of Planet Metal's first releases will be a 7" featuring Sentenced's "Glow of 1000 Suns" and "Amok Run", two scorching demo tracks which date to 1993 and have remained unknown outside of the tape-trading circuit.
Also scheduled is the debut album from Wastelander, entitled Wardrive". Wastelander hails from Infernal City, Michigan and plays post-apocalyptic black metal, a guaranteed new favorite for fans of Venom, Amebix, Abigail and Nifelheim.
Both the Sentenced 7" and Wastelander CD will be available in June.
