Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the worldwide signing of Swedish heavy metallers Trial! Formed in 2007, Trial first wrote and recorded the Malicious Arts EP (2013), which became a stepping stone from where the band was to where they wanted to be. “That EP, in many ways, became our first road to liberate us from ourselves,” Trial recalls. “Rising from the ashes of our former selves, we took things further beyond, which ultimately resulted in the album ‘Vessel‘.”
After earning acclaimed reviews for Vessel (2015), Trial‘s popularity continued to grow, and it wasn’t long before Metal Blade Records signed the band. With plans to re-invent themselves once again, Trial‘s upcoming debut for the label promises to be another step forward in their career.
Trial comments: “We’re honoured to be able to work with such a prestigious and historically important label as Metal Blade. Many of their previous releases are milestones in the genre and of great inspiration to us. To join their roster of artists and be a part of that legacy is one step further towards the perfection of our craft!”
