Low Twelve Ink Deal With Dark Star Records

Dark Star Records is pleased to announce that they have just signed a deal with Illinois based metal band Low Twelve. The band is headed up by Pete Altieri who is the founder of Heavycore, The International Union of Heavy Bands. Pete has played a significant role in the underground metal scene for many years, releasing a number of compilation CD’s and DVD’s, doing interviews with major metal artists as well as running his own radio show the Heavycore Chopping Block Show. All this hard work has paid off for Pete and his band Low Twelve who have released a slew of brutal albums and gained quite a large following over the years. And now with their most skull crushing album to date “Skin in the Game” Dark Star Records along with Sony Entertainment will work together to take the band to yet another level. The new album “Skin in the Game “will be released worldwide via Dark Star Records and Sony Music before the end of the year.

Here is a quote from Pete Altieri:

“Low Twelve is very excited about our new partnership with Dark Star Records. I’ve known Jeffrey Swanson for years and I know how hard he works to get the word out there, and we’re hoping to see bigger and better things with our latest slab-o-sickness “Skin in the Game”. The production is stronger than anything we’ve done before and we think the metal freaks will dig it”. ~Pete

Low Twelve is: Pete Altieri – bass/lead vocals, Meister – guitar/vocals, Les Aldridge – lead guitar, Travis Waterman – drums

Shooting Hemlock Releases Sophomore Album “Color Spackled Empty” Via Dark Star Records and Sony Entertainment

Dark Star Records is pleased to announce that the Sophomore album from Supergroup Shooting Hemlock “Color Spackled Empty” has just been released digitally worldwide via Dark Star Records and Sony Entertainment. Shooting Hemlock Was the brainchild of manager Brad Keene Who had worked with guitar player Joe Stump (Boston Mass.) on his solo projects. Brad wanted to put together a band comprised of members from different regions of the country, and with the addition of Jeff Tortora (Blue Man Group) and Jimmy Puma (Syracuse N, Y.,) Brad had the monster rhythm section he had been searching for. Both Jeff and Jim were playing with Joey Belladonna from Anthrax at that time, Brad then set his sights on a lead vocalist to fill the last remaining slot in the line up, enter Brian Troch (Chicago IL.), who just had left the Band Cyclone Temple. What ensued was a mixture of styles and influences that made a very different but awesome sound. The band wrote all their material via mail and e-mail and flew into one central location (Boston) to rehearse, do pre production work and record the actual tracks, Brian would eventually move to Boston and the project for “two albums” was finished. After many years in the making, Dark Star Records and Sony Music released the first of two albums “Big Green Monster” landing them at #30 on the CMJ charts. Now, a year later we bring you “Color Spackled Empty”. Shooting Hemlock’s new sophomore album is now available at hundreds of online digital retailers worldwide including itunes.

Shooting Hemlock is: Brian Troch (Vocals), Joe Stump (Guitars), Jeff Tortora (Drums), Jimmy Puma (Bass)
