News : Be'lakor leave Descent Productions

Victorian melodic death metal band Be’lakor have parted ways with their short-time label Descent Productions. The band posted the following release on their Myspace:

“Due to unacceptable delays, we have decided to leave Descent Productions.

We have waited for the re-release of The Frail Tide for several months and unfortunately we now feel compelled to take matters into our own hands.

The Frail Tide will be re-pressed independently. It will not be released as a digipack, but rather, as a re-pressing in the original format. This will allow the many fans who don’t yet have a copy to buy one. The Frail Tide will also be available worldwide, digitally, through iTunes and a host of other online digital stores. This will all happen within the next 2-3 weeks, and is thanks to Amphead/The Orchard.

Most importantly, our second album is going ahead, with the recording taking place in January of 2009. We have worked on these new songs for two years and we are extremely excited about recording and releasing this album. As things currently stand, it will be released independently – unless we can find a professional label with which to work in the next 2-3 months. Whatever the case, we will do everything that we can to ensure that the new album is available as widely as possible.

Thanks to everyone who has shown patience through this difficult time. The delays have been caused by factors well beyond our control. Fortunately we are now back in a position where we can make sure that things run properly. We’re looking forward to the next few months and we can’t wait to bring you some new music.

Steve & Be’lakor.”
