Metal Blade Records has announced the signing of Below, an epic doom metal band hailing from Sweden.

The band have cited Black Sabbath, King Diamond and fellow Swedish doom band Candlemass as their main influences. Below have announced via their official Facebook page that they’ll be releasing a single split album with Anguish, and have said that they’ll be  recording their debut album later this year.

Below are set to go on their first tour of Europe in November, as support for Norwegian doom band Devil. Two of their tracks are available to stream via Howlin’ Owl Productions’ SoundCloud page.
