Italian horror-themed deathcore act STIGMA have inked a deal with Florida’s Pivotal Rockordings. The band’s debut album, When Midnight Strikes, is currently being recorded at Db Studios with producer Ettore Rigotti (DISARMONIA MUNDI).

Commented vocalist Vlad: "This is an important day for Stigma. We're so damn proud to announce that we've just joined US based Pivotal Rockordings to release our first metal monster next year! This is day one of Stigma's new era and we couldn’t be more excited, cause we have just joined one of the most loyal, hard working and killer labels in the metal community! After having been ripped off by a label 2 weeks before entering the studio, we were shocked, but the guys in Pivotal Rockordings let us feel like a part of their family from the first day and this is sadly not so common these days! We're just about to finish recording our debut, and we really can't wait to let you hear the result of 14 months of writing and recording! So thanks to Leevan, Alexi, Steven, Ian, Hans and all the other guys over there at Pivotal Rockordings for trusting in us as well all of our fans who supported us from the beginning; this means the world to us! See you all very soon, touring is coming next!"

When Midnight Strikes will feature guest appearances from Tim Zlinsky (THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE), Jacob Bredahl (HATESPHERE), Alberto Zannier (SLOWMOTION APOCALYPSE), Ivan Odorico (Slowmotion Apocalypse), and Mike

Lunacy (DARK LUNACY).

Stigma has been booked for the following concerts, with a full European tour to occur around the release of When Midnight Strikes.
