I Killed The Prom Queen have inked a deal with Epitaph Records and will have their new album out through the label next year. Band guitarist/vocalist Jona Weinhofen (ex-Bring Me The Horizon) said of the signing:
“We are absolutely ecstatic to join the Epitaph Records family. Having worked with the label previously with Bring Me The Horizon, I knew exactly what Epitaph was capable of and that it would be the perfect home for I Killed The Prom Queen. Epitaph is already the home to so many of our heroes such as Converge, Refused, Pennywise and Every Time I Die, and has helped launch our good friends Parkway Drive, The Ghost Inside, Day Of Contempt, Letlive. and more. To say that we are a part of this family is truly an honour.”
Weinhofen also spoke of the bands newly completed album which they tracked at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with Fredrik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames). He said of that:
“We are dying to get this album out and into the hands of old and new I Killed The Prom Queen fans everywhere. To me this record feels as though I Killed The Prom Queen never took a break and is a natural progression of the band. You will hear hints of our side projects and new influences, but make no mistake, this is an I Killed The Prom Queen record through and through. Its fast, melodic, heavy, catchy and we have added a couple of new elements which really bring it up there with the level of music being created these days.”
Soilwork frontman Bjorn “Speed” Strid was in the studio with the band during the sessions, though his role has yet to be specified. I Killed The Prom Queen are currently mapping out their 2014 touring plans.
