SONIC REIGN Signs With METAL BLADE RECORDS

December 12, 2006

Metal Blade Records has announced the signing of SONIC REIGN.

According to a press release, SONIC REIGN is one of the best black metal bands ever to come out of Germany and will take the metal world by storm with their upcoming album "Raw Dark Pure".

"SONIC REIGN is exactly the band we were looking for!" comments Metal Blade Europe spokesman Andreas Reissnauer. "Their songwriting is over the top, their technical abilities of international standards! SONIC REIGN is able to create a dark, eerie atmosphere and their songs have a groovy, crushing edge. 'Raw Dark Pure' is modern black metal breathing the ancient spirit!"

SONIC REIGN was born in late 1997 as a tool to realize the shared musical vision of the two members Ben and Sebastian. After a demo MC their style changed from a melodic approach to black metal into modern black metal — the eager effort to recreate both the spirit and atmosphere of early '90s black metal using new means. The first record sporting this style was the MCD "The Decline Portrait". The first full-length album "Raw Dark Pure" delivers an even more extreme, dense and dark atmosphere.

SONIC REIGN comments on the signing: "Metal Blade Records is a very strong label and we hope and believe that SONIC REIGN as well as the label will benefit from this collaboration. We want to reach something with this band and we feel that the best way to achieve this goal is to hand the business issues over to professionals that understand and support our musical vision. Without a doubt Metal Blade fullfill this condition.'

"Raw Dark Pure" will be released on April 5, 2007. An American release date will be announced shortly. The track listing is as follows:

01. Deceit Doctrine
02. Fucked Up But Glorious
03. Reminiscence Of Imperial Wrath
04. The Martyr Urge
05. Salt
06. Tyrant Blessed
07. To Rebel And To Fail
08. Raw Dark Pure
