Swedish metallers Vicious have signed a deal with Scarlet Records. The band, already well known in their country’s underground scene after the release of the debut CD ‘Vile, Vicious & Victorius’, will release the new album, ‘Emotionally Disqualified’, recorded at Black Lounge Studios (Carnal Forge, Scar Symmetry, Sonic Syndicate, Insision, The Absence) in May 2008. Vicious’ music is the perfect mix between the band members’ death/thrash influences with a hardcore/punk edge and lots of good melodies, in the vein of bands such as At The Gates, Dismember, Entombed, Machine Head and Mastodon.
