Tankard - Sign With Nuclear Blast Records
Nuclear Blast Records press release
Nuclear Blast proudly announce the signing of another dyed-in-the-wool thrash metal combo - German alcoholic thrashers Tankard!
Band leader Gerre comments: "As the want-away footballers always say: I'm looking for a new athletic challenge... baloney! We've only inked a deal with Nuclear Blast because they've offered most prest-money for a transfer... hahaha okay, seriousness aside: We're totally happy to have found accommodation at the metal label no.1 and are chuffed about the collaboration, hoping that this will give Tankard a big boost in their 30th year of existence! It took quite a while 'til we came ashore here, but then again, Rome wasn't built in a day, as we all know!"
Andy Siry (Head of A&R at Nuclear Blast) adds: "From the Hardcore Party 1987 in Oberursel (live Tankard, Angel Dust and Destruction) on I've taken Tankard into my heart. With the signing of Tankard's contract, the "best case scenario" has finally come to pass. I'm absolutely delighted that we've come to an agreement with our Hessian buddies - even though I'll unfortunately suffer from the signing party's aftermath for some more days, haha. Joke apart. I'm very happy that Tankard will be members of the Nuclear Blast family from now on and will enrich our roster of dyed-in-the-wool thrash metal bands. And announcing this new signing on Valentine's Day proves that this is more than just a business matter to us. After 25 years of "concubinage" we've finally tied the knot in the big anniversary year (25 years of Nuclear Blast, 30 years of Tankard). By the way: We're expecting our first offspring to be born this summer."

Believer - Working On New Material
Official press release
Legendary technical metal act, Believer, are currently in the process of writing their fifth album. It's their third for Metal Blade Records and the follow up to 2011's Transhuman, which was heavily spun on SiriusXM's Liquid Metal and received stellar reviews in print and online. Believer also performed at last year's New England Metal and Hardcore fest. Since then, the band has been writing new material.
Founding member Kurt Bachman elaborates: "As we begin the writing process, I feel that this will be the most sensual of all Believer releases. Once again we are striving to create something unique, while not throwing away any riff just because it might not fit the typical Believer mold. This is part of the process we love and hate. We love being creative, yet we place intense pressure on ourselves to write something we'll enjoy hearing and playing at least 2060 times. Of course, we are sticking to our two main goals: 1) Have fun and 2) Don't die in the process."
While Bachman's goals don't seem all that lofty, the band is well known for their challenging and thought-provoking material, as seen on their previous two Metal Blade efforts, Gabriel and Transhuman. Updates regarding art and music will be made available within the coming months. Make sure to follow the band on Facebook and Twitter for the most immediate updates.
