Official press release:
Los Angeles has always been a breeding ground for some of the finest traditional heavy metal and in recent years a new, young generation of bands have taken their ‘80s influences and created some new, exciting and original music. Blade Killer is and should be one of the groups noted for leading this true revolution of classic metal, as evidenced by the promise and reception of their 2014 self-titled EP and countless shows around the Southern California area.
Bassist Kelsey Wilson states:
“We’re excited to announce that Blade Killer has joined forces with M-Theory Audio to release our upcoming full-length album. There is much to look forward to on the horizon and we couldn’t be more stoked to have the support of M-Theory Audio and all of you!”
M-Theory founder Marco Barbieri explains
“Blade Killer is another band I’ve been eyeing for some time and wanted to bring to the label. I loved the EP and feel their potential and commitment to metal is unparalleled. I’m pleased to publicly announce the signing and look forward to hearing the group’s new recordings.”
Currently Blade Killer are diligently finishing up recording 9 new songs to be released early next year but will be embarking on a string of west coast shows next month supporting BAT (with Ryan Waste and Nick Poulos [both of Municipal Waste] and ex-D.R.I. drummer Felix Griffin), including an L.A. show which features the return of old-school thrash metal band Evil Dead.

9/28 – San Diego, CA | Til-Two w/ Bat and Execution
