Abacus signs Purified in Blood

Abacus has signed Norway's Purified In Blood. The band is described as:

Hailed by many as the
most exciting act to emerge from Norway since Turbonegro, Purified In Blood
combines blazing riffs and solos with controversially political lyrics. One
might say that the band's innovative concept of "metal with a message" is
something akin to Emperor meets Earth Crisis.

The label is planning to release Reaper Of Souls, in the U.S. on June 27th and you can check out some music on their myspace page.
