Metal Rules Records Sign Viperine
July 22, 2004
After
the recent announcement of the formation of Metal Rules Records, the
label is today pleased to reveal that they have signed the Swedish
heavy metal band Viperine for an international deal.
Viperine, founded in 2002 features ex-members of Lion Music
recording artists Winterlong. The Viperine line-up consists of
Hussni Mörsare (vocals), Payre Kankanranta (guitar), Erik Tornberg
(bass), and Matt Buffalo (drums). Their debut CD of classic, bone
crushing heavy power metal is entitled THE PREDATOR AWAKENS. Album
cover art was done by the renowned Kris Verwimp (Thyrfing, Absu, Old
Man's Child etc).
The 11 track CD, produced and recorded in Sweden, will be
available for world wide sale and distribution next week. The track
listing for the CD is as follows:
- Like a Viper
- Obsession
- No Longer Kinsmen
- Heartblood
- Fire, Wind and Rain
- Pure Evil
- Principles
- Payback
- Reptiles
- Hunter's Prelude
- I am the Hunter
Viperine guitar shredder, Payre, had the following to say
regarding hooking up with Metal Rules Records. "It's fucking badass
to get this shit together with Metal-Rules. No corporate fuckers
involved, only true metal fanatics doin' it the hard way. The METAL
way! No bullshit, no fuck ups, just loyalty to our mutual
cause...Spreading kickass music!"
Metal Rules Records founder, EvilG, is excited to be working with
Viperine. “After compiling the bands for our VOLUME I release,
Viperine was one of my favorites on there. When Viperine guitarist
Payre spoke to me about having Metal Rules release their debut
album, we thought this would make for an excellent launch pad for
Metal Rules Records. Viperine sum up just about everything I like
about heavy metal – aggression, melody, and memorable songs. I’d be
surprised if fans of heavy/power metal didn’t love this band as they
are not another faceless clone but already have their own sound.”
The international release date for Viperine’s THE PREDATOR
AWAKENS will be Monday, July 27th, 2004. To pre-order visit

become a metal favorite.
