As previously reported, God Seed have signed to Indie Recordings for the release of their upcoming album.

The album, which has been in the works as a Gorgoroth album, will now be released as the first God Seed album and should be in-stores in late 2009 through Indie Recordings.

God Seed is in the studio in their home town of Bergen, Norway. Eight new tracks composed by King will be recorded for an as yet untitled new album. Along with Gaahl, King and Frost on drums, the full recording line up will include Teloch (guitar) and Ice Dale (guitar). Herbrand Larsen will once again produce in the studio.

Stay tuned for further updates.
