Evil Angel announced that is has become the exclusive U.S. distributor for Harmony, a large adult retailer based in London that has started a video production division.
Harmony Video's first release through Evil Angel is Hotel Hyde, which will hit the streets this Friday.
"We had a previous relationship with Harmony. They are the exclusive distributor of our product in the U.K.," Evil Angel publicist Karen Stagliano said Monday.
Stagliano told AVN.com that both Evil Angel General Manager Chris Norman and owner John Stagliano looked at several Harmony videos and liked what they saw. John Stagliano "loved" Hotel Hyde, she said, helping to cement the deal.

"{Hotel Hyde} has this look of being absolutely gorgeous, and it has music that adds to the scene instead of takes away from it and it's got great sex," she said. "After John saw that one he looked at a couple others, and he looked at a couple more. And then he said, 'OK.'"
Evil Angel also has three other Harmony titles on its release schedule, including Belladonna's Fuck Me (Feb. 18), Cabaret Bizarre (March 11) and Slam It in Her Ass (March 25), the first in the forthcoming Slam It series.
"It's so unique from everything we currently have at Evil Angel," Karen Stagliano said. "It's an exciting thing for us. It's very different from other things we do and it helps our studio."
Harmony recently named AVN award-winning Scottish director Gazzman its head of film production. He'll oversee 24 titles a year, eight of which he plans to direct. Gazzman earned honors from AVN for the Private release Scottish Loveknot, which won Best Foreign Feature in 2004.
"Features are great, but nothing beats shooting a bunch of hot, nasty girls in balls-to-the-wall hardcore," Gazzman said.
Meanwhile, Belladonna's Fuck Me earned a AAAA review in the January issue of AVN.
