Opia on the signing: "We are ecstatic to share some monumental news with you all: Opia has signed a global record deal with Hammerheart Records! We’ve found a true home with a label that shares our passion for dark, heavy music and who will be releasing our upcoming debut album I Welcome Thee, Eternal Sleep this Spring (release dates and pre-orders to follow shortly).

"This partnership is the next step in our journey, and we’re proud to align ourselves with a label that’s been a part of the heavy music world for so long. Hammerheart, founded in 1995 in the Netherlands, has an incredible legacy and an outstanding roster, including legendary acts like Cryptopsy, Therion, Ereb Altor, and Ghosts Of Atlantis. To join such company is an honour, and we’re looking forward to seeing where this takes Opia in the future.

"This is only the beginning. We’re beyond grateful for the support you’ve all shown us so far, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on with you, and we’re thrilled to bring it into the world under the Hammerheart banner."
