I can finally make a post about this now that the contracts are signed
- 04.03.2009 - Fool's Game signs worldwide record deal -
We're very happy to announce that we've signed a worldwide deal with CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC for a September 2009 release of our debut album.
Here is the official statement from the record label:
---
CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC is proud to announce the release of FOOL'S GAME debut album "Reality Divine" in September 2009.
FOOL'S GAME is the brain-child of guitarist/song-writer MATT CROOKS, pursuing new musical experiences after leaving his previous band DIVISION.
To carry on this project, Crooks recruited some excellent musicians among the ranks of his friends, and so FOOL'S GAME was born with the participation of MATT JOHNSEN (PHARAOH, guitars), LARS F. LARSEN (MANTICORA, vocals), JOHN MACALUSO (STARBREAKER, ex YNGWIE, ex ARK, drums) and NICK VAN DYK (REDEMPTION, keyboards).
The music of FOOL'S GAME is best described as a modern Judas Priest, mixed with an old-fashioned Iced Earth. Add a bit of each of the bands, the members have represented earlier on or are still part of, and you have a dark, thrashy, melodic power metal album with high octane drumming, shredding guitar riffs, pounding bass, intriguing keyboards and versatile vocals, with a very thoughtful approach to the lyrical content. A kick in the face from an exciting new band!"
