Montreal metallers Barn Burner have signed to Metal Blade Records and the label will re-release the band's Bangers album next year.

Bangers originally came out through New Romance For Kids Records. It was produced by Adrian Popovich (Tricky Woo, Sam Roberts).

"It's a total honour to be working with such a ruling label; it is one of those crucial goals that you strive for as a band," vocalist/guitarist Kevin Keegan says. "May our filthy beards and hair grow long together over the years and continue to put out crushing albums!"

Barn Burner consists of Keegan, bassist Nick Ball, guitarist Marc Doucette and drummer Taylor Freund. They've been compared to Fu Manchu, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy and have toured with Priestess and Bison B.C.
