Le groupe de Death mélodique finlandais
Children Of Bodom a annoncé sa signature avec le label
Nuclear Blast suite à la fin de leur contrat avec Spinefarm Records qui avait jusqu'alors soutenu tous leur albums depuis la création du groupe.
Voici le communiqué complet du groupe:
"Finnish metal superstars
Children Of Bodom (known as
COB) have inked a recording deal with
Nuclear Blast Records, who worked with the band in the early stages of their career and is proud of the renewed partnership.
COB, who kicked off a year-long celebration of its 15th anniversary with a successful North American tour alongside label mates
Eluveitie, have a new studio album planned for release in 2013."We had a good, productive and long run with Spinefarm Records for fifteen years and now it’s simply just time for a change,” said
Children Of Bodom front man / guitarist
Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho. “I’m absolutely stoked to start the new chapter of
COB's career with
Nuclear Blast and look forward to working with them.""Personally, I am so excited to get to work with
Nuclear Blast again,” adds
COB bass player
Henkka T. Blacksmith.
“We have such good memories from the beginning of our career with them.
We know the people already and we know how committed they are in doing metal!"
Nuclear Blast Europe A&R rep
Jaap Wagemaker shares: "15 years ago we were introduced to a very young band from Finland who blew us away with their track
‘Deadnight Warrior’ from their debut album
Something Wild - and their music was indeed something wild! Fast-tapping guitar work combined with incredible keyboards and angry vocals… it was the start of the career of
Children Of Bodom.
Nuclear Blast released their first three albums outside of Finland:
Something Wild,
Hatebreeder, and
Follow The Reaper, albums that became classics in the history of metal. Unfortunately, after the third album, we went separate ways but we have always been following them and stayed in contact.
Children Of Bodom became a very big band worldwide and now the
Time Has Come to welcome them back home! We at
Nuclear Blast are very happy to see
Children Of Bodom rejoining the
Nuclear family and are looking forward to working their next albums. You can be sure that ‘something wild’ will come your way!"
