Indie Recordings have announce that they have entered an agreement with Norway's DJERV for the release of their debut album in Europe excluding Poland, Czech Republic and Russia.

Spawned out of TRELLDOM, ANIMAL ALPHA and STONEGARD, Djerv "is aggressive rock, borderline metal and dangerously catchy, yet wrapped in a blackmetal veil," according to a press release.

Djerv consist of the three core members Agnete Kjølsrud, Stian Kårstad and Erlend Gjerde. The lineup is completed by guitarist Stamos Koliousis from Mencea and bassist Victor Brandt from ENTOMBED who join them for their live performances.

DIMMU BORGIR has helped promote Djerv when they invited Agnete to participate on no less than three songs for their latest album, Abrahadabra. Amongst them the lead track of the album, 'Gateways' where Agnete does a performance both on the track and in the video.

Djerv is currently on the Norway Rock Tour with PURIFIED IN BLOOD and INSENSE, and they are also confirmed for the Inferno Festival April 22nd. More tour dates here.

Agnete from Djerv comment the signing: “It's great to be a part of the Indie Recordings family. As the people at Indie and several of the bands are already our good friends we are very happy to work alongside them on our debut album. I feel great about the signing and I think the future holds great things for us with Indie Recordings on our team.”

Djerv has just finished up the work on their debut album which is set to release this summer. More details on that to be announced shortly.
