 11th Hour’s mastermind is no other than jack-of-all-trades Ed Warby, who already carved his name into the history of Metal with Gorefest and Hail of Bullets. With his new band, Warby takes a turn towards old-school Doom Metal. Slow motion grooves, viscious riffs, and a bleak atmosphere are at the heart of the music. The songs resonate with darkness and despair and grab the listener from the get-go. A full length release is tentatively scheduled for fall 2009.
"The 11th Hour is upon us, and it is with great pleasure that we announce our freshly forged bond with Napalm Records. It's an honor to be added to such a great and diverse artist roster and we feel it's the perfect home for our massive brand of doom metal! Now let's open those floodgates of doooooom…" |

 Since the beginning of the new century, the brothers Patrik and Niklas Rimmerfros have focused their work on the traditional music of their native country of Sweden. It comes as no surprise that FEJD play quaint and original Folk, while skilfully combining traditional and modern instruments. This leads to a lively blend of classic Heavy Metal and Northern melodies. The songs are crowned by poetic, yet sorrowful lyrics sung entirely in Swedish. The Napalm debut will be released in the spring of 2009.
"No label could be more 'right' for us, as we've reached a new chapter in Fejd's history. Napalm Records has a fine tradition of Folk-inspired acts and the enthusiasm needed to make this into something big and historic. Together Fejd & Napalm Records will take on the world by storm in 2009." |

Metal fans should fasten their seatbelt and prepare for an all crushing package. A new album is tentatively scheduled for spring 2009.

Not in a bad sense, but we have been working hard on both new material, playing shows and changing the line-up. The great changes the band has been going through have meant that we needed a record label that would support us 100%. Napalm is not only very professional, they also have a great varied roster, and they have shown to be willing to support HateSphere in the way that we want. Our new album has been just completed, and no need to say that we really can't wait to get started with our work with Napalm. Early next year the album will be out, and Napalm Records and HateSphere are on their way. See you out there - stronger than ever! Cheers, Pepe and HateSphere” |
