2010-07-01 | Reunited The Crown Signs With Century Media Records |
Reunited Swedish death/thrash metal act The Crown has inked a worldwide deal with Century Media Records. The band's new album, "Doomsday King", is scheduled for release in September.
Commented The Crown guitarist Marko Tervonen: "We are happy as hell to turn a new page in The Crown's history book...and to pick up the journey with Century Media Records supporting us feels great. We can't wait to unleash 'Doomsday King' upon you all!!!"
Added Jens Prueter, head Of A&R at Century Media in Europe: "Some of the very early Century Media signings have been Unleashed, Grave, Tiamat, Asphyx, Morgoth - the glory days of the first death metal wave. We are still in love with death metal and are more than proud to announce the signing of Swedish death metal legend The Crown. They haven't lost any aggression since the early '90s and are still a guarantee for some death metal holocaust! In case of doubt, go to one of the summer festivals and hear some new songs live before the album's coming out this fall." Source: DarkSide.ru |
2010-06-11 | Bolt Thrower about tour |
UK extreme metal legends Bolt Thrower have issued the following update:
"It feels like a long time ago since we played the two special shows in Atak, and now we’ve just got back from our amazing first ever shows in Greece, which sadly means we’ve reached the end of our Next Offensive tour across Europe. Every single show was an absolute pleasure, and we got to meet up with old friends again and also made a lot of new ones.
It was great to be joined once again by Benediction and Asphyx, along with the other 30 bands who took part on the tour – too many to name, but you know who you are... (Cheers all!) We would also like to say what an honour it was to share the stage with Rotting Christ, the coolest and most genuine guys you could meet.
Thanks also to all the promoters on the tour for helping set up the shows and going along with our crazy ideas, and for making us feel so welcome.
And as always, we would like to say a massive thanks to our ever loyal Crew – Turtle, Phil, Sabrine, Andy, Keith, Dave, Oscar & Shaun. (It wouldn’t be the same without you..)
Finally, of course huge cheers to each and every one of you who came to the shows in such large numbers. Your support for Bolt Thrower is never taken for granted, and always very much appreciated, and we hope you had as much of a good time as we did!" Source: DarkSide.ru |
2009-06-10 | Belphegor: New Album Title Announced | Austrian blackened death metal outfit Belphegor have set "Walpurgis Rites - Hexenwahn" as the title of their eighth full-length studio album, due out in October via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2008's "Bondage Goat Zombie" was recorded at Andy Classen's (Legion Of The Damned, Dew-Scented, Neaera, Asphyx) Stage One Studios in Kassel, Germany.
Commented frontman Helmuth: "The title fits perfect to the whole concept, the lyrical themes. It's typical Belphegor, involving symbology and double meanings. I have always been fascinated by the idea and atmosphere surrounding witches, their magic, the insane sabbath/ ceremonies — and all the obscurity that goes with it. With the nine sound collages, the verses, artwork we continue our descent into the depths of musical hell."
