BITTER END joins Metal On Metal roster!
![Beitrag Beitrag](./styles/Warhammer/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
We are happy to announce the second signing this year... This band was formed in 1985 in Seattle, WA... This makes the 4th Seattle-based band on our roster, but there's a connection indeed: Russ from MIDNIGHT IDÖLS used to play guitar in a technical thrash band BITTER END that released their debut (and only full-length) "Harsh Realities" in 1990 through Metal Blade. Russ mentioned to us the unreleased material they had recorded in 1991/92 just before the band split up. Well, we're still first and foremost pro supporting active bands, but those unreleased songs are just brilliant (better than their debut in our opinion!), so we decided to release what was recorded for their 2nd album (plus "Meet Your Maker" 1988 demo and a a few live tracks as a bonus), under the title "Have A Nice Death!". We thought it would be a shame for people to never get to hear those songs. What helped us in making this decision was of course the "Russ-connection" and the fact that all BITTER END members are still active as musicians and declared that they could give interviews and play some one off shows if the demand is big enough.

Bitter End 1992
Here's what Chris Fox, the band's bass player said:
"When Bitter End broke up in the Summer of 1992, the members of the band never could have imagined that another release was in the cards. Nor that it would be almost 20 years coming! But now, thanks to the dogged efforts of Jowita and the Simone at Metal On Metal Records, Bitter End's unreleased last six songs will at last be commercially available, under the title "Have A Nice Death!" Audiences will get a chance to hear with fresh ears the thrash metal sounds that were coming together even as Seattle's non-metal music scene was breaking through to a global audience. The members of Bitter End - Matt, Chris, Russ and Harry - are very grateful to Metal On Metal for this release, which they hope will help to remind metal fans around the world of Seattle's importance in the history of metal music."
BITTER END "Have A Nice Death!" CD will be released in July this year, together with the new album of MELIAH RAGE. For the moment feel free to go to the BITTER END page on our website to read the band's biography and check some old photos.
