Premier Melbourne melodic death metal band act Be’lakor have just announced the news that they have signed a worldwide deal with Austria’s Napalm Records.

We’re proud to announce that we have signed with Napalm Records. On the cusp of the release of our fourth album, this signing represents the next chapter for Be’lakor.
It has been no small road for Be’lakor. Beginning life in 2004 where the band adopted their name from a character in Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy tabletop series, the next decade and a bit saw Be’lakor release three studio albums to critical acclaim (2007’s ‘The Frail Tide; 2009’s ‘Stone Reach’ – an album voted by metalstorm.net as the best melodic death metal album of the last decade; and 2012’s ‘Of Breath and Bone’). As too did it see them tour Europe three times, playing summer festivals such as Summer Breeze and Brutal Assault, and supporting the likes of Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates, Alestorm, and more.
With the impending release of their fourth studio album, this marks a major significant turning point for the band’s career, joining the company of such other acts as Devildriver, Powerwolf, Summoning, Belphegor, Cavalera Conspiracy, and many more.
Napalm Records had this to say of the band’s signing:
Hailing from Down Under comes the newest signing of Napalm Records. Please welcome Australia’s Melodic / Progressive Death Metal five piece BE’LAKOR!
Napalm Records A&R Sebastian Muench: “Napalm Records is absolutely honored to announce the signing of Melbourne´s “one and only” BE´LAKOR. For many years we have been listening to the albums “The Frail Tide”, “Stone´s Reach” & the masterpiece “Of Breath and Bone” in amazement and in full discussion on who we like best; Be´lakor, Insomnium or Omnium Gatherum! Be´lakor! Welcome to the Napalm Family!”
 
BE’LAKOR on the signing with Napalm Records: “We’re extremely pleased to be signing with Napalm Records. Working with such a well-respected label represents the start of the next chapter for us. We really feel that Napalm is on board with our vision, and that they share our excitement for the music we’re making. This signing will also mean that we can get our music out to more of our fans and play more shows beyond Australia’s shores. 2016 promises to be a big year for the band, and we can’t wait to release our fourth album with Napalm.”
 
Now BE’LAKOR takes the next step and joins Napalm Records for the release of their fourth studio album, which is already set to be released in 2016. More news & details coming very soon.

With the new, and as yet currently untitled, fourth album set to be released sometime this year via Napalm Records, 2016 promises to be a huge year for Be’lakor.
