The Mission sign with The End Records

British gothic rock legends The Mission have announced the inking of a new deal with US-based label The End Records for the release of their as yet unnamed twelfth album.

Vocalist/guitarist Wayne Hussey stated:

“Well, who would’ve thought it 12 years ago when we were touring Europe with my mate, Ville Valo and HIM, that we’d end up on The End Records with them in the good ol’ USA somewhere further down the track.
“Very nice to share a label with the legends that are Anvil too and looking forward to blagging some new Dandy Warhols CD’s…If we ask for drugs just laugh and say you can’t get any. It’s healthier for us and for you. See you soon.”

The band will set about recording the album on the 18^th of April, the process of which will be recorded for their forthcoming documentary.

The album will be produced by David M. Allen (Depeche Mode, The Cure) who comments:

“It is a privilege and an honor to be working with the Mission on their new album for The End Records, I’ve had many dealings with the band over the last 30 years that I have known them, and this chance to record with the original members is very special”
