Portland Avant-Garde Doom band Eight Bells have signed a multi-album deal with Prophecy Productions. The band will release a new album in 2022. The label will also reissue the US-band’s existing catalogue.
Eight Bells comment: “I am excited about this new relationship with Prophecy Productions along with having the opportunity to reach further into a European audience”, states singer and guitarist Melynda Jackson. “My goal all along has been to release a new album since our last one in 2016 and although it took a while to find the right combination of musicians. I thankfully have that now and am grateful to put out another album with people whom I love.”
Martin Koller adds: “When I discovered Eight Bells at the Psycho Las Vegas festival, I was immediately hooked”, tells the founder of Prophecy Productions. “Particularly their unique way of letting emotive vocal harmonies shine brightly above a sublimely intelligent dark metal foundation was striking. I am therefore stoked to welcome Eight Bells to the Prophecy family!”
Prophecy Productions will also reissue the band’s previous releases. The first two Eight Bells albums “The Captain’s Daughter” (2013) and “Landless” (2016) are already digitally available: http://lnk.spkr.media/eightbells-backcatalog
Eight Bells were conceived as the brainchild and songwriting project of Melynda Jackson in 2010. The guitarist and vocalist named the band after the final album of her previous act, SUBARACHNOID SPACE. While the trio evolved through several line-up changes in the beginning, Melynda is now supported by vocalist and bass player Matt Solis (Cormorant, Ursa) Brian Burke (No Shores, Cave Dweller) On Drums.
Currently, Eight Bells are preparing for the release of their third full-length via the label in early 2022.
Eight Bells are:
Melynda Jackson – guitar, vocals
Matt Solis – bass, harmonies
Brian Burke – drums
