Listenable Records has announced the signing of Spain-based metallers, Crisix.

The five horsemen gratefully comment: "We really took our time while recording this album, because we wanted everything to be perfect and we believe we made the best album in our career. Signing a worldwide deal with Listenable Records (well-known for launching important acts as Gojira or Soilwork) is the cherry on top and a proof we are moving in the right direction."
 
While we are fully convinced Crisix didn't form because of the emergence of glam metal bands in Barcelona, the band has been spending an incredible amount of energy to spread their music worldwide. Popular for their incendiary live shows, they won several metal battle contests (Wacken festival), were hailed as the ultimate best Spanish upcoming band by national magazine Rock Zone. By all accounts, Crisix is a very hard working band.

Such energy appears obvious when listening to Crisix new album, entitled From Blue To Black, always showcasing brutally formidable melodic riffs, skilled arrangements pushed at full speed with intricate tempo changes, that added to hooky choruses resulting in an incredibly catchy savagery.

Crisix are not rehashing the old glories of thrash metal, they enhance it, spice it up and intensify it in a very convincing manner. Their new album 'From Blue To Black is scheduled for an end of March 2016 release. It was recorded over a three month period in AX Studios (ES), mixed by Oscar AX, and mastered by Swedish metal genius Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Arch Enemy, Kreator, At The Gates, Opeth).

Crisix will intensively tour Europe for the release and some shows are already planned in South America too. Stay tuned for details.
