Suicidal Angels - Win Rock The Nation Award And Sign With Nuclear Blast

Suicidal Angels have issued the following statement:

"We are more than happy and proud to announce that we won the Rock The Nation Award 2009 and sign a deal with Nuclear Blast. We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everybody that voted for us and of course good luck to all the bands that participated in this contest!

Our new album "Sanctify The Darkness" will be out on the 20th of November so stay tuned for more infos and as always prepare yourselves to be thrashed!"

Below you can read the official statement of Rock The Nation:

"The winner takes it all", true to the motto Rock The Nation appealed to a band contest of a particular kind. The Austrian management and booking company takes care of the needs of such bands as Deathstars, Legion Of The Damned, Sabaton, Behemoth, Kataklysm, Leaves' Eyes and Eluveitie. They offered a lucrative all inclusive package for the winner, with a long term labeldeal with Boomer Entertainment and the leading heavy metal company Nuclear Blast Records (Nightwish, Hammerfall, Testament, Dimmu Borgir and many more), and them of course.

This unique competition was presented by all leading European metal magazines, like the German, Italian, Spanish and Greek Metal Hammer, the British Terorizer, Metallian (France), Scream (Norway), Rock Tribune (Belgium), Spark (Czech Republic), and the Dutch webzine Lordsofmetal.nl.

"This high interest blew all our expectations", says Rock The Nation boss Stefan Hattinger. More than 1.200 bands from all over the world applied, hundreds of thousands votes have been counted. "It made the RTN-Award a tremendous success and proves that this is what the bands have been waiting for."

The 100 best votings were then judged by an inner circle composed of members from Rock The Nation, Boomer Entertainment and Nuclear Blast. In the end there wasn't only one, but two winners! Suicidal Angels from Greece and Steelwing from Sweden. "We love those two bands so much, that we couldn't decide us against one of them, so we had to make two winners", says Hattinger.

Regardless of the experts opinion, both acts were under the top ten of the fan votings and finally conviced with their unique and overwhelming songwriting. They simply made it! "Both bands really deserve our biggest respect, it would be cool if everybody out there sends his and her congrats & comments. Add them to your friends and see what will happen with both bands in the coming months", says Hattinger with big plans in mind. The greek Thrash metal formation Suicidal Angels play a merciless riff massacre and a perfect mix of old Kreator and Sepultura like sounds.

Suicidal Angels - Back To The Studio

Suicidal Angels have issued the following statement on their MySpace blog:

"Hello to everyone!

As it is now confirmed, we can announce that everything's set for the recording of the second Suicidal Angels album! Recordings will be held at "Prophecy and Music Factory Studios" in Germany, under the direction of producer R.D. Liapakis, who, as many might know, is an accomplished fellow Greek musician and recording engineer, lead singer of the heavy metal group Mystic Prophecy.

The yet untitled record will contain 9 tracks of pure thrash metal, which we can't wait to play live by the way! It will be recorded in March and released (hopefully) later in 2009. One of the songs, "Jesus Lies", has already been performed live in various occasions and can also be heard through our upcoming DVD, "Live Domination", the production of which has been unfortunately hampered by some artwork issues, that will very soon be resolved. This song will give you an idea of the straight-in-your-face approach we have adopted while writing new material, that we hope you like.

So everything's rolling and March draws near! Moreover, the plans for a 2009 European tour are in motion, many shows have already been confirmed and we can't wait to see you all again and have a hell of a time. More on our upcoming tour will be posted soon, as the final details will be worked out early in 2009.

Take care you all, and have a nice thrashing holiday!

Suicidal Angels"

Suicidal Angels - Bassist Leaves The Band

Suicidal Angels have issued the following update on their MySpace:

"We regretfully announce that our bass player Sotiris decided to leave the band due to personal reasons. It was a tough decision and he struggled for months before making it, but in the end he just believed it to be the best choice.

Sotiris joined the band in 2006 and was the band's bass player for many important concerts and all European tours up to now. He also was part of the line-up for the band's debut album, "Eternal Domination", and can be seen performing on stage in Suicidal Angels' upcoming DVD, "Live Domination", and various videos uploaded on YouTube. Together with the rest of the band, he tried hard to promote Suicidal Angels' music and helped make the group a better live act.

Suicidal Angels would like to thank Sotiris for his contribution in the two years he was the band's bass player. We respect his decision and wish him the best for his personal as well as professional life.

Suicidal Angels will go on as scheduled, regarding the recording of their second album in Spring 2009. More news on that will be posted very soon.

Regarding live appearances, you have probably gathered that the bass player position is now open. It is possible, however not 100% sure, that Sotiris will play the gig with Dew-Scented in February. We have already considered some candidates for the job he leaves behind and we'll have more on this in the next few days."

Suicidal Angels - Update From The Band

Suicidal Angels have posted the following update:

"We regret to announce that our supporting appearance under Septicflesh is cancelled. For reasons beyond the band, we won't have the pleasure to perform under this great Greek death metal group, which we want to sincerely thank for the invitation and wish it all the best for January's show.

However, we will perform live again soon! We are happy to have been presented with the opportunity to play live with German neothrashers Dew-Scented, on February 27 at Texas Necropolis in Athens. This will be the last Suicidal Angels show for a while, as we will start production of our new album in early Spring, which we hope to release later in 2009. The songs are ready, we like them a lot and we can't wait to record and present them to all you maniacs out there!

So join us on February 27th for our final show comprising mostly of "Eternal Domination" tunes (along with some songs we haven't played for a very long time), as we promise to give it our best to thank you all for the incredible support you've shown us, especially for the warm welcome of our debut album, which will always pose as a landmark in our course. Together with mighty Dew-Scented and the other great Greek supporting acts, we'll try to make it a night to be remembered."

Suicidal Angels - Working On New Material

Suicidal Angels have issued the following update:

"We gladly inform you that Suicidal Angels are spending their time rehearsing new songs for their second full length album due in 2009. So far we have 5 songs ready and they mean serious thrash business! The new record will feature fast and aggressive thrash tunes like the first one, but rest assured we won't create an exact copy of "Eternal Domination"! The new tunes are shaping up with interesting differences compared to the E.D songs and we are all very pleased with the outcome.

What's more, Suicidal Angels are working on a European tour in Winter, when they will present some of the new tunes, plus a concert in their hometown, Athens, sometime soon! Stay tuned for more information, as the plans to hit the stage again are in motion!"
