Hells Headbangers is proud to announce the signing of Druid Lord for the band's next full-length release, "Grotesque Offerings." Druid Lord continue their eerie ways of doom/death metal splattered with obscure, horror-inspired lyrics from beyond the grave. Their influences come from haunts of old from where shadows conjure spells of gloom, as well as the atmosphere of the old movies of Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and John Carpenter.

Druid Lord was formed in the scorching wastelands of Orlando, Florida in 2010 by Pete Slate (Acheron, Equinox) and Tony Blakk (Acheron, Equinox, Diabolic) and original drummer Stephen Spillers (Equinox). Orlando has always been known to be the birthplace of Mantas/Death, and Druid Lord takes pride in that fact. From the beginning, the band's intent is to create crushing songs that take inspiration from early death metal (Possessed, Necrovore, Autopsy) and the heavy riffing of '70s and '80s doom bands like Cirith Ungol, Winter, Candlemass, and Black Sabbath. "I had played for years with my own black/death band Equinox playing fast-type music, but I felt it was time for a change and get back to my roots," states Slate. "Being that we're huge old-school horror maniacs, we also wanted to combine that feeling of dread with heavy music."

Hells Headbangers is proud to announce the signing of Cursed Moon. A one-man entity hailing from the greater Los Angeles area, Cursed Moon is one of the most exciting newcomers the label has come across. Branding itself "deathwave," Cursed Moon uniquely combines classic goth-rock from the '80s with early black metal sounds, weaving a witchy atmosphere whilst being grounded firmly in the grit of evil heavy metal. It's a sound that's immediately memorable and positively addicting - and not to mention one that will appeal to a wide variety of metalheads, punks, and other assorted freaks.
