Ascendance Records announce new artists

Ascendance Records is pleased to announce the signing of two more artists to its roster, continuing to promote and support the freshest and most original bands in female-fronted metal.

The first new addition to the label is the Portuguese progressive band WITCHBREED. Featuring ex-MOONSPELL bassist and founder Ares and the excellent Ruby Roque on vocals, WITCHBREED play an intricate and accomplished form of metal and are one of the most promising new bands in the genre. With their debut set to be recorded soon, the first release from this band, tentatively scheduled for late 2008, promises to be a dark, energetic and intense addition to the metal scene.

Secondly, the label is proud to announce the signing of another new band, the highly original and inventive PIN-UP WENT DOWN from France. The band was founded by Alexis Damien (ex-CARNIVAL IN COAL) and features the diverse and talented Asphodel (PENUMBRA) on vocals. The band’s first album, 2 Unlimited, mixes Gothic with death and progressive metal, as well as throwing funk and jazz into the mix. It was recorded, mixed and mastered by the band and is set to be released in March 2008.
