Britain's
CHARGER have reportedly inked a deal with
Peaceville Records for the release of their debut full-length album, which is currently being recorded at
Mighty Atom Studios in Swansea, Wales with legendary producer
Billy Anderson (
CLUTCH,
BRUTAL TRUTH,
ORANGE GOBLIN,
NEUROSIS,
SLEEP). Currently untitled, the long-awaited follow-up to 2000's
The Foul Year Of Our Lord will be released in early spring 2003.
A spokesperson for the label said: "We've been fans of the band for the last couple of years and when the opportunity arose to sign them we knew there'd be a lot of interested parties involved. To actually come out on top & have one of the best UK acts grace our label's roster feels even better than finding a BMX at the bottom of the bed on Christmas morning, aged 12!"
To celebrate the signing,
Peaceville are to host a special Halloween show (October 31st) at The Marquee in London. Headlining the event will be
THE GREAT DECEIVER (featuring former
AT THE GATES/
THE CROWN frontman
Tomas Lindberg), playing their first ever UK show, with
CHARGER as the only support band for the evening. Doors open at 10:30 p.m. with
CHARGER hitting the stage appropriately at midnight.
