ATLANTEAN KODEX Signs With CRUZ DEL SUR

March 1, 2010

German epic metallers ATLANTEAN KODEX and Italian label Cruz Del Sur Music have signed a deal for the worldwide release of the band's upcoming debut album, "The Golden Bough".

Rooted deeply in the sound of old MANOWAR, Viking-era BATHORY and classic 1980s-metal, ATLANTEAN KODEX's "Pnakotic Demos" EP has sold close to 2000 copies and has been praised by critics as one of the best epic metal releases ever. With festival appearances at renowned events like Keep it True XII, Up the Hammers or Hammer of Doom, ATLANTEAN KODEX has also made a name for itself as an intense live band which "never fails to deliver the steel."

Commented guitar player Manuel Trummer: "I couldn't have imagined anyone else than Cruz del Sur to release 'The Golden Bough'. We‘re highly impressed by the work label owner Enrico did in the past and we're honoured to be on the same label like some of our favorite bands such as WHILE HEAVEN WEPT, SLOUGH FEG, TWISTED TOWER DIRE and BATTLEROAR."

Cruz Del Sur Music label owner Enrico Leccese added: "I am very glad we have the opportunity of working together with ATLANTEAN KODEX. I am definitely impressed by the enthusiasm, the strength and motivation these guys have shown so far; that's exactly what we're looking for in a band. And the music contained in 'The Golden Bough' is simply fantastic!"

"The Golden Bough" is scheduled for a release in September. A deluxe vinyl edition will be made available by renowned German high-quality vinyl label Iron Kodex.
