ESKIMO CALLBOY, the modern metal six piece from Castrop Rauxel, have kicked up a lot of dust not only in their native Germany, but also internationally. Their latest two albums landed in the German Top Ten Album Charts, “We Are The Mess” (2014) on #8 and “Crystals” (2015) on #6, they toured Europe with the likes of Callejon, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch and Asking Alexandria and played high profile festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Open Flair and Nova Rock. Moreover, ESKIMO CALLBOY already toured countries such as Japan, Russia, China and South Africa and played a full US tour with Deuce and Kottonmouth Kings.

After following the band working their way up from sweaty, local clubs to big international stages Century Media Records/People Like You Records are excited to work the band worldwide.

Wolfgang Funk, Label Manager People Like You Records: “We are really happy about signing a young and up-and-coming band that will leave additional marks in the international scene. Moreover they are adding another flavour to the People Like You roster that we are going to keep working on. We are really looking forward to an exciting and successful cooperation with the band.”

Kevin Ratajczak, ESKIMO CALLBOY: “After more than 2 years of working on our 4th studio album we are holding the first masters in our hands – finally! We put in more blood, sweat and tears than into any other album before and we are absolutely sure that it’s the best we ever did. It’s a total cliché, but it’s true! We are really happy to release it via Century Media Records/People Like You Records. With all their experience and the close contact we kept during the past few months, we are sure that we can take ESKIMO CALLBOY to the next level.”

The first single will be released in May while the upcoming album will be due in the late summer, so keep your eyes peeled for more news soon.

BROKEN HOPE – Unveil “Mutilated and Assimilated” cover art, tracklist and formats!

BROKEN HOPE – Unveil “Mutilated and Assimilated” cover art, tracklist and formats!

Chicago’s very own conductors of Death Metal brutality, BROKEN HOPE are pleased to announce details of their forthcoming full length album, “Mutilated and Assimilated”, which will see the light of day on Friday June 23rd 2017 via Century Media Records.

Regarding the new album guitarist/lyricist/founding father Jeremy Wagner says:
“BROKEN HOPE studio album number SEVEN?! Un-fucking-believable! I’m floored at how amazing our new album turned out. The songs are relentless and violent and dark and heavy–and ALL from a fresh and ferocious place we haven’t shared before. Moreover, thanks to my new studio and the stellar work of engineering/producing Jedi—Scott Creekmore–the production is on a sonic level like we’ve never had in our career.

Thanks to my brothers: Damian, Mike, Matt, Diego, and Scott–ALL of whom brought their amazing talent and skills not just to the table, but kicked it into the stratosphere! Thank you to Wes Benscoter for collaborating with us to create the epic/sick/THING-inspired album artwork, and a huge thanks to Century Media worldwide for being in our corner with this new album.

For me personally, I feel “Mutilated and Assimilated” is my own finest hour as a guitarist and lyricist since I formed this band as teenager. I’ve never felt this inspired before. The album has my strongest riffage to date, it also has Leski riffage on a few songs, it has my best friends on it, and in a crazy twist, I used Jeff Hanneman’s guitars to write the album with and used them to track with in honor of his influence on myself AND the world of metal.

There’s a LOT going on with this new BH album! I can’t wait for you all to hear “Mutilated and Assimilated”. DEATH METAL forever!”

The album will be released as a Limited Edition CD+DVD Digipak in North America and in a Special Edition CD+DVD Digipak in Europe, as well as digital & streaming versions available on all the major outlets worldwide.

The LP version will be released in the following vinyl colours:
Gatefold “Peeled Flesh” neon pink LP+CD: US Exclusive

For those who stayed satanic.

Swedish luciferian death metal overlords NECROPHOBIC have signed a deal with Century Media Records for the world excluding USA and Canada.

Formed in 1989 NECROPHOBIC belong to the first wave of Swedish death metal bands. Ever since the release of their classic debut album “The Nocturnal Silence” (1993) the band has released a total of seven studio albums, among them timeless masterpieces as “Darkside” (1997), “Bloodhymns” (2002) or the brilliant 2009 album “Death To All”.

Having NECROPHOBIC on the label is not just a nice addition to the label’s impressive roster of Swedish death and black metal bands like Marduk, Watain, Grave, Tribulation, Vampire, Firespawn and more. It’s feels like the completion of the task of bringing together what belongs together.
Welcome, NECROPHOBIC!

The circle is complete.

NECROPHOBIC line-up
Anders Strokirk – vocals
Sebastian Ramstedt – guitars
Johan Bergebäck – guitars
Alex Friberg – bass
Joakim Sterner – drums

“Fear Those Who Fear Him” will be released as Gatefold LP+CD on limited coloured and regular black 180 gram vinyl, as Special Edition Digipak (international version), Jewelcase CD (Canada, USA, Mexico only) and on all digital / streaming platforms.

IMPLORE sign worldwide deal with Century Media Records, new album in autumn 2017

Hailing from Berlin, but with their roots in Spain and Italy, the three-piece IMPLORE have gained a strong following within the extreme metal scene since the band formed in 2013 in Hamburg, Germany. Hard working and dedicated since day one IMPLORE have released several EPs and demos as well as the critically acclaimed debut full length album “Depopulation” (Pelagic Records, 2015). With over 200 live shows all over Europe, North and South America as well as major festivals shows (Summer Breeze, Party.San and many more) IMPLORE’s name has widely spread among fans of brutal death metal, grindcore, hardcore and crust punk. Although IMPLORE’s sound is often labeled as death metal, the band’s talent to entwine elements from different genres into their sound has opened doors to different scenes, attracting open-minded fans of all kinds of extreme music.

“Subjugate” the second album of the band – and the first one for their new label home at Century Media Records – now reaches for new horizons. With a more focused approach, more elaborated songs, a stronger sound and a lot of experience, IMPLORE are well prepared to take the world by storm.

“Subjugate” is going to be released on September 22nd 2017 in cooperation with the band’s former label Pelagic Records.

More news about the album will follow in the upcoming days and weeks.
