Metal Blade Records Announce The Signing Of Behemoth
Metal Blade Records has inked a North American deal with Polish extreme
metalers BEHEMOTH! The band recently finished up an extremely successful
year which saw the band as direct support to headliners Hatebreed on the
infamous second stage at Ozzfest and a co-headlining spot on the Radio
Rebellion tour alongside now label-mates Job for a Cowboy. BEHEMOTH
played over 150 shows in 2007 and has no plans on slowing down for 2008.
Expect to see a new release in the form of an EP out in the summer/fall
of 2008 along with a state side tour in the spring.
“I have to honestly admit that we’ve never been more enthusiastic about
the future. For last few years things have been moving forward for us
like a storm and we decided to leave some secured territories and look
for a new home for us. We needed something refreshing and challenging at
the same time. Metal Blade and Nuclear Blast are two of the strongest
and most influential labels in today’s metal scene. Persistence and
determination is what we have in common with both and I’m sure our
future collaboration will forge a new, inspiring chapter in Behemoth’s
history. I simply can’t wait to start working with these companies. We
are proud and honored to be partnering with such greatly forward looking
people. Expect big things to happen. Now only sky is the limit.”
“At the same time I’d like to show my appreciation for all the years of
hard work and dedication with our past labels: Century Media and Regain
Rec. I’m happy that throughout all those years we were not only business
partners but also friends. I wish both nothing but success in the
future.” Nergal
“We are honored and very excited to work with Behemoth. The band has
truly established themselves as one of the greatest bands at the
forefront of the extreme metal movement and we can’t wait to help
continue their amazing career.” Brian Slagel
The New York Times recently published an article raving about BEHEMOTH’s
