Northern California-based crossover veterans CONDEMNED? have re-signed with Nuclear Blast Records.
The second band to ever be released by Nuclear Blast, CONDEMNED? is putting the finishing touches on its new album at Prairie Sun Recording Studios with producer Billy Anderson (NEUROSIS, MR. BUNGLE, CATTLE DECAPITATION, CATHEDRAL, EYEHATEGOD) for an early 2011 release.
"CONDEMNED? is a nostalgic connection for me and it is a pleasure to go somewhat back to our roots," commented Nuclear Blast founder and owner Markus Staiger.
"Nuclear Blast's second release ever (NB002) from 1987 was the band's debut. Now the band continues mixing the past with the present for a new release, plus a bonus compilation that will include their debut album 'Humanoid Or Biomechanoid?!'
"CONDEMNED? stands for old-school raw metallic hardcore and combines the feeling of late '80s cross-over/punk-metal, with some brutal and melodic touches. The USHC legends have recorded 14 tracks especially for this release, some are new recordings from when they were USHC legends ATTITUDE!"
CONDEMNED? added in a statement: "We are excited to be re-signing with Nuclear Blast! Markus launched our first album in Europe as his second release ever in 1987! He started as we did, 'doing it yourself' for the music and the scene.
"Our latest double CD release with Nuclear Blast has 14-new recordings fresh from the forge, produced by Billy Anderson and CONDEMNED? The bonus disc is a timeline from 1983-1993 covering all the different incarnations over the years."
"We definitely have diverse roots, growing up in the S.F. Bay Area! Founded during the '80s hardcore/thrash metal scene, we bridged the two, plus we are influenced by the European punk movement and S.F.'s acid rock past. We bridged all styles, so we could to stay unique! The latest release reflects both the past and the present."
