February 8, 2010

ARMA GATHAS, the metal band featuring former CATARACT guitarist Simon Fülleman, ex-BORN FROM PAIN singer Ché Snelting, MACHINEMADE GOD and ex-CORNELIUS guitarist Marc Niedersberg, ex-DISLOYAL drummer and drum student Max van Winkelhof and Alex Härtel on bass, has signed a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. The group's debut album, "Dead To This World", will be released on April 27 (one day earlier internationally). The CD was recorded in November 2009 at the Barracs studios with producer Sky Hoff, who has previously worked with CALIBAN. The mastering was handled by Alan Douches at the West West Side Studio in New York.

Commented singer Ché Snelting: "This is yet another dream come true in the short existence of the band. From evolving from just being an idea Simon was working on, to working with the right people in the band where everything falls in place. From recording, mixing and mastering the record with the perfect people for the job to working with the right artists to translate our ideas into the the records layout. And now we signed a deal with the most legendary hard and heavy label in the world! We couldn't have wished for a better chance to spread our music and message. I have never been this proud in my life.

"ARMA GATHAS is everything we as a band and as people stand for. It is real. Just like Metal Blade.

"We can't wait to show this record to the world; we are so proud of the result!"

According to a press release, "Dead To This World" consists of 13 songs, ranging from bludgeoning aggression and frustration in its purest form to atmospheric interludes and music pieces.

Simon Füllemann - guitar
Che Snelting - vocals

Alex Lahnsteiner Härtel - bass

The song "The Rise And Fall" is available for streaming at this location.
