NORRIS Signs With YEAR OF THE SUN RECORDS

June 9, 2010

Thunder Bay, Ontario's NORRIS has signed with Year of the Sun Records for the release of the band's new album.

Commented NORRIS drummer Josh Hogan: "After years of going it alone in the Canadian music scene, NORRIS is looking forward to working with a label that is excited about our music as we are. It feels good to have the backing of a label that has been in the game for eight years and has staff that consists of individuals who have been in bands that play heavy music and who understand what it's like to make sacrifices to pursue something you love and believe in. We are very proud of our new album, and with the help of Year of the Sun we plan on reaching new fans of extreme music that will appreciate our honest take on metal."

"I think that when you look at a band like NORRIS you get a sense that the members are really trying to challenge themselves and that makes their music a really exciting and intriguing experience," states Year of the Sun president C. Benner. "We've always taken pride in putting out bands that are slightly off the beaten path and with Norris they really bring a unique vision to the table. If you thought their previous work was heavy, wait until this new record drops. It's going to be something else."

NORRIS has been ripping its way through Canada, leaving behind a trail of devoted fans who have been a key factor in spreading the band's extreme blend of metal, rock, and hardcore across the country. The band's EP, "Bone Crusher", was praised by Exclaim! magazine as "…simply obliterating. The album manages to come barreling out of the speakers with unbridled passion."
