Southern Lord Records has announced the signing of legendary Seattle splatter rock kings The Accused. Label head Greg Anderson had this to say of the signing:
The Accused and guitarist Tommy Niemeyer were basically responsible for turning me onto hardcore/punk and underground metal. If it wasn't for me witnessing The Accused slay the audience -- and me -- in 1985 I may be writing this today!
The band will enter the studio with producer Billy Anderson (The Melvins, Neurosis, High On Fire) to record fourteen new tunes. Titled The Curse Of Martha Splatterhead, the release will mark their first full-length studio effort in four years.
