TRAP THEM Signs With PROSTHETIC RECORDS

July 23, 2009

Prosthetic Records has signed Seattle's TRAP THEM. Before entering the studio to record its Prosthetic debut, due in the first half of 2010, the band will release an EP through Southern Lord Records.

TRAP THEM's sound combines elements of old-school Swedish death metal, punk, and d-beat and takes influence from bands such as ENTOMBED, BLACK FLAG, NASUM and TRAGEDY. TRAP THEM has spent time on the road with NAPALM DEATH, DISFEAR, SKELETONWITCH, VICTIMS, ROTTEN SOUND, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, and COLISEUM, amongst others and has appeared at Maryland Deathfest and New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. (In fact, Mark "Barney" Greenway of NAPALM DEATH was quoted as saying, "TRAP THEM restored my faith in extreme music.")

The band commented, "After a few months of very positive talks, we are proud to announce we have signed with Prosthetic Records. This is a step forward for the band and a move that opens up a lot of doors that we have not yet explored in the last three years of distortion. Prosthetic has been supportive of TRAP THEM's modus operandi for quite some time, just as we have a great respect for the high standards in which their label is run.

"This is the first step in the next progression of TRAP THEM and we extremely excited that it involves Prosthetic. We've built this beast on depression, desperation and blasphemy and there is literally no ending point in our sights. We function by the expression, 'Go heavy or go home,' be it how we write our music, how we approach our tours, or how we live our lives. The days won't stop and we're ready to rage."

TRAP THEM has released several seven inches and EPs and two full-lengths, the latest being "Seizures in Barren Praise", which came out on Deathwish Inc.
