Now, we start 2019 by joining forces with our Scandinavian friends in Mighty Music record label, that will release our 9th album, Fit To Kill, this spring. We have several live shows comin' up and we're ready as fuck to take back the "Throne"."

Fernando Reis from Mighty Music, comments: "We've been following Blood Red Throne as fans since their Monument Of Death debut album in 2001, and have always been fans of their crunchy, technically pinched, full-on death metal. They've been carrying the DM flame in Scandinavia throughout all the black metal several waves. When the opportunity came to work with them, there was no room for second thoughts."
