ENTURY MEDIA RECORDS signs UK Death Metal band VALLENFYRE

Century Media Records is proud to announce the signing of UK Death Metal band VALLENFYRE. Same as Sonne Adam from Israel, VALLENFYRE debuted with a 7” single on the underground label Imperium Productions and also share a similar approach of mixing classic Death Metal with Doom and in case of VALLENFYRE some British Crust on top.

Jens Prueter (Head Of A&R, Century Media Records Europe): “I was already blown away by VALLENFYRE’s old school orgy of doomy and crusty Death Metal riffs when I heard the first demo last Winter and the new 7” sounds even better. So I couldn’t hesitate to offer them a deal straight away. That’s how we signed Grave and Asphyx over 20 years ago - and we all know that it was a good decision. So welcome to another chapter of Century Media’s Death Metal legacy. VALLENFYRE’s debut album “A Fragile King” is already recorded and will be released in late October 2011. If you like a mix of early Entombed, Celtic Frost, Autopsy and Amebix you should hurry up to buy the last few copies of the “Desecration” 7” which was limited to only 500 copies by Imperium Productions.”

The “Desecration / Iconoclast” 7” came out of few weeks ago and you can still order the last few copies. Just follow the shop link on http://www.vallenfyre.com where you can also check samples from both songs.

Century Media Records freuen sich, dass Signing der britischen Death Metal Band VALLENFYRE bekannt geben zu dürfen. Wie bereits Sonne Adam aus Israel, haben auch VALLENFYRE auf dem kleinen Underground Label Imperium Productions ihre Debut 7“ Single veröffentlicht. Des Weiteren teilen sich beide Bands einen ähnlichen Ansatz, wenn es darum geht klassischen Death Metal mit einer Prise Doom zu garnieren, oder wie im Falle von VALLENFYRE mit einer zusätzlichen Portion UK Crust!

Jens Prüter (Head Of A&R, Century Media Records Europe): “Ich war schon letzten Winter von der alte Schule Death und Doom Riff Orgie auf dem Demo weggeblasen und die kürzlich erschienene 7“ klingt sogar noch besser! Deswegen haben wir auch keine Sekunde gezögert und der Band direkt einen Vertrag angeboten. Grave und Asphyx haben wir vor über 20 Jahren auch direkt vom Demo weg gesignt – und wir alle wissen, dass das eine gute Entscheidung war. Wir heißen euch also zu einem weiteren Kapitel unserer Death Metal Geschichte willkommen! ‚A Fragile King’, das Debütalbum von VALLENFYRE, wurde bereits in der gleichen Recording Session wie die 7“ aufgenommen und wird Ende Oktober 2011 veröffentlicht. Wenn ihr auf einem Mix aus frühen Entombed, Celtic Frost, Autopsy und Amebix steht, solltet ihr euch beeilen eine der letzten 7“ Exemplare zu kaufen, die auf nur 500 Stück von Imperium Productions limitiert wurden.“

Die „Desecration / Iconoclast” 7” ist über http://www.vallenfyre.com erhältlich. Auf der Webseite finden sich auch zwei kurze Samples zu den beiden Songs.

British thrashers EVILE have finally confirmed the main support bands for their upcoming U.K. tour

British thrashers EVILE have finally confirmed the main support bands for their upcoming U.K. tour
and we’re proud to announce that it’s none other than British Thrash Metal ELIMINATION.

With new drummer James Last fully primed, ELIMINATION look set to make their mark in 2011.
Since 2007, Elimination have been laying crowds to waste with live performances and
have been on the receiving end of glowing reviews from major & international press alike.

Their last release 'Destroyed by Creation' epitomised the melody and brutality that makes heavy metal great:

“Capable of the kind of reckless speed and heaviosity that Metallica wish they were still able to pull off, Elimination are surely destined for big things...”
[Big Cheese]

The tour, which takes place in February,
will allow the boys to whet the appetite of thrashers everywhere
as they perform new material from their eagerly anticipated new album
‘Through the Eyes of Madness’.

Catch EVILE on tour, with support form ELIMINATION, MUTANT and one extra lucky band at each show band selected by EVILE and Metal Hammer readers!

February 9th | Manchester - Academy 3
February 10th | Newcastle - Academy
February 11th | Glasgow - Cathouse
February 12th | Nottingham - Rescue Rooms
February 13th | London - Underworld
