EDGUY Extends Deal With NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS

September 13, 2008

German melodic metallers EDGUY have issued the following update:

"EDGUY and their record label Nuclear Blast have just extended their contract for three more albums. Also included in the deal is the release of the live DVD that was filmed in Brazil during the Rocket Ride World Tour two years ago. To the question why the footage has not been released yet, the band has a simple answer: 'We could have thrown in a DVD, but then it would have delayed the release of our forthcoming album. That's also why there is going to be no EP prior to the album. Besides that, 'Tinnitus Sanctus' [the forthcoming EDGUY album] is way too strong to get a chance on radio; no one's gonna play it anyway!'"

EDGUY's new album, "Tinnitus Sanctus", was recorded at Gate Studios in Wolfsburg, Germany. The CD was produced by Sascha Paeth and is scheduled to be released on November 16.

In a recent interview, EDGUYfrontman Tobias Sammet stated about the group's new material, "We don't go back to the roots. We never denied who we are and where we come from, so I don't see a reason to go back to wherever. I go straight forward and follow my heart as I've always done, 'Tinnitus Sanctus' is exactly the music we wanna play, we are happy and I don't give a fuck if it's gonna be our biggest-selling album or not. It's so great, even if my career would go down the drain and this would be the last album, I'd be more than happy to be remembered as the guy who recorded 'Tinnitus Sanctus'. I'd rather ruin my carreer with a creative killer album like that than trying to play safe with a boring stereotype power metal stinker constructed on a drawing table. We have a couple of song titles such as 'Dragonfly', 'Dead Or Rock', 'Wake Up Dreaming Black' or 'Sex Fire Religion'. And we'll shoot a video for a very heavy midtempo anthem by the name of 'Ministry Of Saints'. And there'll be a bonus track called 'Aren't You A Little Pervert Too?' which is quite nasty."
