The band’s sophomore effort, Concerto For The Undead, has been licensed for release in Australia and New Zealand by Stomp and is scheduled to hit streets on May 7th.

Producer Jona Weinhofen commented on working with Stigma: “I’ve known Stefano Ghersi [Vlad; vocals] for years through touring etc and when he and the guys from Stigma approached me about working with them I was stoked. Producing is always something which I have had a big interest in ever since recording my first album with one of my own bands. Between my busy touring & writing schedules, and living between 3 separate countries it would have been nice to have some extra time to really get involved with the whole process as I think we just scratched the surface of the bands potential with my involvement.”

Stigma’s Concerto For The Undead was produced at Fear Studio by ex-BLEEDING THROUGH and current BRING ME THE HORIZON guitarist Jona Weinhofen and was mixed and mastered by Scott Atkins (BEHEMOTH, CRADLE OF FILTH, SYLOSIS).

This sophomore effort was released on April 30th in Europe, today - May 3rd in the UK, tomorrow - May 4th in North America and May 7th in Australia/New Zealand.

The album features lyrics centered on the cult-classic comic book series Tales From the Crypt and includes guest vocal appearances by Jamie Hope (ex-The Red Shore) and Jon Hunt (ex-DEAD TO FALL).

Artwork for the album features stunning comic illustrations of the band’s now patent horror themed lyrics and was created by Andrea Berton of

Corefolio Design (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WINDS OF PLAGUE).
