Commented Masa Kishimoto: "I have worked with [YOUTHQUAKE for] [more than] 10 years as label and management. I feel very honor they signed worldwide deal with Wormholedeath and are starting new collaboration with Wormholedeath. The band and me are looking forward to touring in Europe one day."

Added Wormholedeath's A&R and label manager Worm: "When we started our Japanese division, we were stoken about the great amount of feedback created by our label in Japan and now we reached our first goal: signing such an important band, that has such a big name and career in that country is something amazing. We were so proud to know that the band wanted to work with us. We will start promoting YOUTHQUAKE with their current album, 'Beyond The Void Of Black', in Europe to open doors to their upcoming release."
