Finntroll - sign w/ Century Media Records
Data dodania 2009-09-04Dodał WouterŹródło blabbermouth.netFinnish folk metallers FINNTROLL have inked a three-album, worldwide deal with Century Media Records. The band entered Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki in late July to begin recording its as-yet-untitled fifth album for an early 2010 release.
Commented Jens Prueter, head of A&R at Century Media Europe: "We started working with [FINNTROLL] in 2001 when we licensed 'Jaktens Tid' and the following two albums from their previous label Spinefarm for release in Germany, Benelux and North America. Since then we became good friends going through great times like a massive co-headline show at Wacken 2006 (to be seen on the 'Ur Jordens Djup' bonus DVD), the experience of a Fisherman's Friend Vodka Cocktail and many other great moments blurred by further alcohol abuse. And we also went through bad times like Teemu 'Somnium' Raimoranta's funeral, the day we had to bring Tundra to a doctor because his infected feet was already smelling bad and the Earthshaker Roadshock Tour 2007 that was cancelled after a few shows because of disastrous organization. Apart from that, we just love FINNTROLL for their unique dark blend of traditional Finnish hoedown music and folky black metal. There are only a few bands in metal that have such a unique style and we can't wait to hear the upcoming album."
FINNTROLL's fifth album, "Ur Jordens Djup", entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 91. The CD, which was recorded by Nino Laurenne at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, is the group's first release with Mathias Lillmåns following the departure of Tapio Wilska (SETHIAN, ex-WIZZARD, former session vocalist for NIGHTWISH) in January 2006.
