Sourvein signs with Candlelight, hits the road....

Doom-metal faves Sourvein have signed with noted metal label Candlelight Records, a move that has the band joining a roster of heavyweights that includes folks like Daylight Dies, Crowbar and Obituary, among many others. A five-song, limited edition EP titled Imperial Bastard will be released on September 30th, 2008 to be followed by a full-length album, produced by Billy Anderson, in early 2009.

Formed in 1993 in Wilmington, North Carolina, Sourvein later moved its home base to New Orleans in 1998, releasing a self-titled debut album in 2000, following it up with Will to Mangle in 2002. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the band relocated to Cape Fear, North Carolina. The current Sourvein line-up includes former Buzzov-En vocalist T-Roy Medlin and drummer Ramzi, bassist Bonne Doom, and guitarists Cool Clyde and Sleepy Doom; the band will be on tour through mid-August.
