MORBUS CHRON Signs With CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

March 13, 2012

Century Media Records has announced the signing of MORBUS CHRON from Sweden.

Often described as a perfect mix between AUTOPSY and CARNAGE, MORBUS CHRON clearly stands out as one of the most talented and promising bands among all of the new traditional death metal acts that have been popping-up in the scene for over three years now.

Comments MORBUS CHRON: "Always expect the unexpected. MORBUS CHRON are thrilled to join the ranks of Century Media Records. We know that with greater assistance and sturdier tools, the more clearly we can focus our attention solely on the music. So it is with big smiles that we ink this deal tonight. To keep the momentum going, we're entering Gutterview Studios in March/April to record our first 10-inch EP. Expect to have us around for a while."

Jerry Maréchal, A&R at Century Media Europe comments: "Coming from Sweden without sounding like the 9265465th clone of 'Left Hand Path' ENTOMBED is not a sinecure, to say the least. What MORBUS CHRON has been achieving for more than three years and their first demo tape is far more impressive as the band manages to merge varied and classic influences ranging from U.S. death metal to Swedish and Euro death metal with their own very personal conceptions, be it musically or aesthetically. The result is an intense and fascinating traditional death metal act. Period."

MORBUS CHRON's new 10inch vinyl EP will be released in time for the band's first live appearance in Gemany at the Hell's Pleasure festival July 20-21 in Pößneck along with labelmates SONNE ADAM and NECROWRETCH. Later this year, the band will start writing the follow-up to their critically acclaimed first album, "Sleepers In The Rift", which received an outstanding 9 out of 10 points in Germany's Rock Hard magazine.
