With the impending release of their seventh full-length album, Malediction, Norwegian Black Metallers RAGNAROK have inked a deal with the UK-based Mythology Agency to handle all the band’s European booking.

“Mythology is very excited about joining forces with a Norwegian black metal band of the standing and reputation of Ragnarok”, commended Mythologies’ Jake Gill, who will be overseeing the bookings, “I have myself been a fan of the band for longer than I can remember, so it’s a double pleasure for me to be working with these guys.”

Ragnarok founder and drummer Jontho had this to say about the collaboration “When we set about planning Ragnarok's future several months ago, one of the big priorities for us was to set up a solid team to work alongside the band. An unholy trinity if you like who understood what Ragnarok was all about, and would be willing to put as much of themselves into the band as we do ourselves. Mythology has some extraordinary bands on their roster, and they have an in-depth understanding of the genre, and with them alongside our Manager Patricia Thomas, and our label Agonia Records, the final piece is now in place, and we are ready to take Ragnarok all the way.”

Malediction will be released on October 30th in Europe and on November 6th in North America via Agonia Records

Malediction was recorded, mixed and mastered by Devo of MARDUK fame at Endarker Studios. The new album will be available as jewelcase CD, digital download and limited vinyl with exclusive bonus track. First 100 copies will be available on a hand-numbered brown vinyl.
