Today, Nuclear Blast Records are happy to announce the signing of psychedelic hard rock band Gaupa from Falun, Sweden. The five-piece is planning to release the successor to last year's debut, Feberdröm, sometime in 2022.

Jens Prüter, Head Of A&R at Nuclear Blast Records Europe comments: "While most newcomer bands struggled during the Corona pandemic, Gaupa managed to grow by quality. Their unique sound hasn't remained unnoticed and word of mouth spread fast. Once we had seen their live stream show and had some video conferences, we knew they would sit well in an artist roster that contains the likes of Graveyard, Opeth, Earthless and Meshuggah who appear to be some of their favorite bands, even if Gaupa isn't very metal at all. But it's that attitude to tear down boundaries between genres - just for the sake of art. We are proud to welcome them in good company."

Gaupa's vocalist Emma Näslund adds: "We're all still nurturing dreams of working more with our music and playing larger shows. One could argue that it would be time to shake those dreams and grow up. We don't. If you're doing something you love, keep going! We are beyond humbled to find ourselves among the giants and we're very happy to announce our signing with Nuclear Blast!"
