Paragon Records has announced the signing of the Ukrainian dark metal band KHORS. The group's recently completed new album, "Mysticism", will be released later this year on deluxe digipack.

Formed by former ASTROFAES bassist Khorus, and later joined by Helg (RUNES OF DIANECHT) and Khaoth (TESSARACT, ex-ASTROFAES, HATE FOREST), KHORS plays black metal in the Ukrainian style which "combines a somber atmosphere with rich melodies," according to a press release.

Since its formation, KHORS has quickly garnered a reputation for its unforgettable live performances, playing alongside OBTEST, BEHEMOTH, BUTTERFLY TEMPLE, BLOODRAIN, and many more.

KHORS previously released two acclaimed albums on the Oriana label in addition to a live DVD.
