TO/DIE/FOR Frontman Discusses Current Label Situation

March 10, 2008

V. Daniel Valor of Metalraw.com recently conducted an interview with TO/DIE/FOR singer Jape Peratalo. An excerpt from the chat follows:

Metalraw.com: First of all let's talk about the current situation in TO/DIE/FOR, I know that the band are currently without a contract… what happened with the people of Spinefarm? You did not want to renew with them? It was they who did not want to renew? I ask this, because it’s really strange that a successful band like TO/DIE/FOR is without a record label.

Jape: "Actually our contract with Spinefarm expired and maybe there would be possibility to continue with them, I do not know? But we decided to start to looking for something new! Spinefarm Records is OK! But seems like they have no interest or time for band like we are. They have too many bands to handle. That's why we felt like we are not getting enough things like promotion etc. There are some labels who are interested in us, but this time we are not gonna hurry!! We need a company who is ready to work for us with huge motivation. At the moment I am writing new songs for TO/DIE/FOR, also other guys are writing new stuff! We are gonna be alive in the future more than ever!"

TO/DIE/FOR's fifth album, "Wounds Wide Open", was released in Finland in October 2006. The follow-up to 2005's "IV", "Wounds Wide Open" was recorded by Samu Oittinen at Fantom Studios and by Jari-Jukka Nippala at Sonic Image, and was mixed at Sweden's Abyss Studios by Peter Tägtgren (DIMMU BORGIR, CELTIC FROST).

Nuclear Blast last year reissued TO/DIE/FOR's "All Eternity" (2000) and "Epilogue" (2001) albums as a double-CD package. The cover art can be viewed at this location.
