​Steamhammer Records has announced the signing of Eindhoven, Netherlands-based rockers, Black-Bone.

This young 3-piece, all in their early 20s, have already played more than 220 live shows. Everything from small clubs to big festivals can be found in their gig history as well as opening slots for some of the big names of the business such as Saxon, Slash, Status Quo, Deep Purple, Mustasch and Chickenfoot.

They recently finished the recordings of their second album, Blessing In Disguise, which was produced by Peter van Elderen - better known as guitarslinger and frontman of Peter Pan Speedrock. The new album will be released September 18th via Steamhammer/SPV. More news to come shortly.

Georg "Schorse" Schröder (A+R Steamhammer) on the signing: "Peter van Elderen  was so kind to sent me some rough cuts of the new Black-Bone album during the recording sessions and i was instantly excited about the material. Even more if i was aware of the fact that these three guys from Eindhoven, Netherlands are such a young band! The band definitely has the potential to become one of the well known names in hard rocking music! We are very proud to have them added to our roster now."

Steef van de Bogaard (guitar, vocals at Black-Bone) ads: "We’re very happy and excited to be a part of the Steamhammer/SPV family! Also because of the fact that we like bands such as Peter Pan Speedrock, The Supersuckers and many more who are on the same label. We’re a young hard working band, so it’s great to have a good professional record company behind us!"
