Havok Signs To Candlelight Records

Candlelight Records confirms the signing of Denver-based thrashers Havok. The band are currently completing their debut album titled "Burn" which is expected for release early spring. The album, produced by vocalist/guitarist David Sanchez at Dirty D Studios and mixed by Bart McCrorey at Motaland Studios, contains twelve songs from the youthful band featuring guitarist Shawn Chavez, drummer Ryan Bloom and bassist Jesse de Los Santos with Sanchez.

Since their formation in 2004, they have released two independent recordings, "PWN 'Em All" and "Murder By Metal." Sanchez says of the band’s signing, "This is the break we’ve been working toward and now that it’s finally here we’re more than ready to make the most of it. We are both psyched and humbled to be a part of the Candlelight roster." Chavez adds, "this is the beginning of great things to come. We know that the work is really just beginning and that the pressure is on but pressure as you know makes diamonds."

With the final details of "Burn" being finalized the band look to tour shortly after album release date. A tentative track listing is as follows:
