Demons & Wizards - Sign New Deal With Century Media Records


Century Media Records is pleased to announce the signing of legendary metal band Demons & Wizards for a worldwide collaboration. Currently, the band is busy recording the highly anticipated yet untitled third studio album, which is scheduled to be released in early 2020. Prior to the release of the new studio album, Century Media Records will release Demons & Wizards' sold out first two albums as reworked special editions. Remastered by Zeuss (Iced Earth, Queensrÿche, Sanctuary), these two releases will be out on June 7th, 2019.

Hansi Kürsch comments: "It is a great pleasure and a big honor for me to finally become a full part of the Century Media family. Jon and I both feel that Century Media is the perfect match for our upcoming Demons & Wizards missions. And there will be plenty of them. Right at the moment we have not only finalized a re-boot of our first two albums, but are also working with full forces on the successor of Touched by the Crimson King. Good things are on its way. Expect nothing but the best and do not miss us on the road this summer, unless you want to risk another 20 years of waiting ?"

Philipp Schulte of Century Media Records adds: "To say that we are stoked to be finally working with Hansi and Jon on a new Demons & Wizards album would be an understatement. This is a very important signing to the label: A top-tier metal band and a great addition to the label's roster. The fans have been patiently waiting for Demons & Wizards' return. And now the time is near! We start our cooperation by re-releasing the band's two classic albums, before they are conquering the festival stages all across Europe. And then, in the beginning of 2020, after 15 years of waiting, Demons & Wizards will finally return with a new studio album. It is time to hoist the sails for the storm to come. Welcome aboard!"

I would be happy with either of the drummers featured on the 2 previous records. Both Prator and Jarzombek have a really nice style that fits perfectly with the music of Demons & Wizards.

If they don't choose touring with Thomen Stauch (I would be the happiest man on Earth if that happens ) those guys will be other nice choices

I don't know how things are between Hansi and Thomen. He left BG because he didn't like the direction they were going in with the music. So I don't know if it was on good terms or not though. It probably was (at least I hope so). But it would be awesome to see Thomen working with Hansi again.

Well, their friends relationship keeps as if never happened (even BG recently did publish on Youtube some videos talking about their first albumg along with the earliest band members [for example Marcus Dork or Hans-Peter Frey from Lucifer's Heritage era] and Thomen was part of all those videos], and also Hansi will make back vocals for the first album of Thomen's new band, called Dawn of Amber).

Cool, I didn't know that. Then it might be possible. Thomen on a Demon & Wizards album would be amazing.
