AGENTS OF MAN Sign Worldwide Deal With CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

January 27, 2005

The New Jersey quintet AGENTS OF MAN have signed a worldwide deal with Century Media Records. The group have just finished recording their full-length debut, "Count Your Blessings", tentatively due this spring.

Composed of former members of such acclaimed hardcore acts as BULLDOZE, COLD AS LIFE, ONE 4 ONE, TRAIN OF THOUGHT and SWORN ENEMY, AGENTS OF MAN spent the past four years honing their craft "combining a stunning blend of underground and pop culture alike, which quickly evolved into a brilliant fusion of catchy and melodic, yet aggressive music that can’t be easily categorized," according to a press release.

Commented bassist Mike Couls (ex-SWORN ENEMY): "We are very pleased to have signed with Century Media Records and are extremely confident in their abilities to market and promote our band.

"We went back to Purple Light Studios (CANDIRIA, 40 BELOW SUMMER) once again with Mike Barilie to record 'Count Your Blessings', our debut full-length album.

"It's been a long time coming and we are ready to take our opportunities to the next level."

AGENTS OF MAN's first release, "AOM EP 01", was recorded and co-produced by Mike Barilie at Purple Light Studios in 2001. To date, the EP has sold over 7,500 copies despite very limited distribution. The group have toured the U.S. with 36 CRAZYFISTS, CANDIRIA, FULL BLOWN CHAOS and SWORN ENEMY, and have played countless shows with such acts as BIOHAZARD, GOD FORBID, HATEBREED and THURSDAY, to name just a few.
