Century Media Records have renewed their deal with British grindcore legend NAPALM DEATH who has wrapped up the recordings of its yet untitled 14th studio album earlier this year at Parlour Studio in Kettering, UK with longtime producer Russ Russell.
Jens Prüter, Head of A&R / Century Media Records Europe states:
“NAPALM DEATH is not only one of the most important and influential extreme metal bands, they are also a band that always raises their voice against social ills – and even against record companies (remember “Enemy Of Music Business”). Therefore I’m even more glad about NAPALM DEATH re-signing to Century Media for more great albums of intelligent and meaningful noise. And have you ever seen a weak NAPALM DEATH show? I haven’t, and I have seen them MANY times and will never get tired to see them again and again. Thanks to Mitch, Danny, Shane and Barney for their resilience and resistance – and a special thanks to Marc from MAD for fighting on their side.”
NAPALM DEATH vocalist Mark 'Barney' Greenway comments:
"We're very happy to be re-signing to Century Media. In fact, I think it's the first time we've actually re-signed on a longer term deal with anybody since the days when we didn't strictly know that we could be digging ourselves a big hole with labels...
It's important for Napalm to stay with an independent and Century proved to us with their overall enthusiasm and attention that this is where we needed to be. There's a perfect balance of getting the band out there in people's faces whilst still understanding the point that not everything is acceptable or 'ethical' promotion. It's more like working with friends who actually care, and who could argue with that?"
Renowned as one of the most reliable and hardest working bands in extreme music, NAPALM DEATH are currently on the road all across Russia, will head over to Canada in October and already confirmed appearances at the 2012 editions of Wacken (D), Neurotic Deathfest (NL) and Maryland Deathfest (USA).
So wherever you are, may grind be with you!
