Unearth Sign To Century Media.
Wednesday 19th June 2013
Century Media Records is thrilled to welcome metal veterans UNEARTH to their roster in Europe.

UNEARTH have recently started working on their sixth album with renown producer Mark Lewis (Trivium, DevilDriver, The Black Dahlia Murder, Deicide and many more) which is roughly scheduled for a late 2013 release. It is their sixth album since their inception in 1998. Vocalist Trevor Phipps offers the state of the band and their intentions for this new release in his comments below:

"A new chapter has begun for UNEARTH as we have found a few new places to call home. By joining forces with Century Media (Europe), E1 (North America), Howling Bull (Japan) and 3Wise (Australia) we will have a more focused attack from some of the most well known and respected labels in the world. We know this new beginning of sorts will bring bigger and better things for UNEARTH and our fans and we couldn't be more excited for the future of all things UNEARTH. We are currently in the studio recording some of the most aggressive, anthemic and energized metal we have ever written and we look forward to unleashing it to you all when it is finished. Expect to hear more about our new album, release dates and future world wide touring plans later this summer. - We also want to take this opportunity to thank Metal Blade Records for being our label home for almost a decade. In that time we released four LP's and a double DVD, circled the Globe playing Heavy Metal dozens of times and experienced some of the greatest moments of our collective lives. Metal Blade helped us along the path of our dream and we are eternally grateful. We start new label relationships today, but we will always consider ourselves part of the Metal Blade Records family."

After an awe-inspiring 15 years of blazing trails and dominating stages, UNEARTH is now institutionalized as a relentless force in heavy metal, standing the test of time with consistently triumphant creative output, tireless road warrior resilience, Blue Collar style workmanship and a resolute determination to deliver the goods.

With over 500,000 in worldwide sales, UNEARTH’s continued staying power has also hinged on their highly interactive and toweringly heavy live performances. Over the course of their impressive 15 years career, UNEARTH have played amphitheaters, sheds, theaters, halls and clubs with a diverse group of bands that includes Slipknot, Slayer, Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, All That Remains, DevilDriver, Dimmu Borgir, Gwar and Whitechapel. They’ve appeared at prestigious festivals like Download in the UK, Germany’s With Full Force and Wacken, Belgium’s Graspop, Hellfest in France and Japan’s Loud Park.

With an average age still well behind the genre-forefathers and legends ahead of them, Unearth are committed to collaborating on uncharted new heights within their music. No sellout, no experimental adventurousness and no letdown for their extremely dedicated fans on the horizon. With a blank slate in front of them, UNEARTH will always steadily maintain and powerfully proclaim their allegiance to the lifestyle, the ethos and the community of heavy metal, both now and forever.

Slagerij - are a 3 piece ska-punk band from Swindon they formed back in late 2007 and since then have had an exciting journey releasing various different EP’s as well as two self-recorded and self-produced albums, the band have toured across the UK many times over and have also visited America for a brief tour.

Recently Slagerij have been on the road supporting 4FT Fingers who were back on the scene for a handful of shows back in March and this was where we first saw Slagerij on the live circuit and were totally blown away with their energetic shows in both Bristol and Swindon where the crowd fully got into it and opened up mosh pits at nearly every opportunity whilst a few people chose to take things further with a bit of crowd surfing as Slagerij unleashed their ska-punk.

The likes of ‘Set It Off’, ‘Girls Got Rhythm’, ‘... Now For The Weather’ and ‘Can’t Stop A Nation’ have been fan favourites for years and it is so easy to see why as no two Slagerij songs are the same as one minute they go down the ska route sounding like the bastard love childs of Whitmore meets Less Than Jake and then the next they go down the more in your face punk rock route sounding like 4Ft Fingers mixed with a legion of Oi punk bands.

Slagerij have just released their new single ‘Non Stop Party Machine’ which shows that after not releasing any new material for a couple of years they still have the knack at writing big in your face catchy songs that are going to get you dancing in your bedroom and causing carnage in your local venue when Slagerji next come to town.

Over the next couple of months Slagerij have a hectic touring schedule as they tour the likes of Bath, Swindon, Birmingham, Torquay, Cheltenham, Cardiff, Keynsham and also head to Scotland to play at the long running Wickerman Festival, and if that was not enough they have also announced a New Years Eve show where they will be seeing the New year in supporting Whitmore who are reforming for the one off special show.

If you feel like you want to rewind to the days of P-rock TV then look no further than www.facebook.com/slagerijuk as Slagerij are here to have a good time and make sure everyone else has a goodtime in the process.
