German based melancholic rock/dark metal duo, Autumnblaze, have signed a worldwide record deal with Argonauta Records. The latter will release the band's upcoming, seventh studio album, entitled Welkin Shores Burning.

Label owner, Gero Lucisano, comments: "I've been lucky enough to be introduced to Autumnblaze by Niklas Sundin, as we are working together with his solo project Mitochondiral Sun. Very briefly then I got the chance to exchange various opinions and thoughts with Autumnblaze founding member Markus, who sent me a preview of the new album. Though Argonauta is mostly known to be a stoner/post metal label in all of their forms, I'm used to expand my territories when the albums deeply touch me. I found Autumnblaze new work very ethereal though with its own particular strength, a lot visionary and at some point "psychedelic". Very unique in its way. And we are all very excited to have inked a deal not just for this one, yet also for a second album to come."

While many news and album tunes will be following in the weeks ahead, drummer Arisjel already shares some details: "The new record is a result of love of music, friendship, personal tragedies, salvation and in the end also the certainty that nothing could save us except music. With Argonauta Records we found a passionate and dedicated record company, that is convinced of our idea to create music for dreaming and reflective souls, music which resonates deep inside open-minded hearts. Our way was always different from others."
