FROSTWORK, the ambient black metal solo project of vocalist Dagon (HEATHEN DEITY, THORNLAND) has signed with UKEM Records for the release of a split album with the label’s other new signing CRUELTY’s HEART. The album is slated for release in early 2014.

Currently working on the next Frostwork album in his home studio in Derbyshire, England, Dagon had this to say about both the album and his upcoming collaboration with UKEM Records: “I’m more than happy to be working with UKEM Records, which, in my opinion, has become one of the UK’s best independent extreme music labels. As soon as the work on the next Frostwork album is completed, I will start writing for the split with Cruelty’s Heart and I already have some ideas about the sound I want to aim for. As far as Frostwork’s new album itself is concerned I will be building up from where I left off with Lore of Winter – Ealdspell. I’m very satisfied with the way Frostwork’s sound has developed and grown, and will continue to grow, but you can be sure that at its heart there will always be that cold, bleak, uncompromising, raw atmospheric English black metal."
