Aussie metallers Thy Art Is Murder have announced that they have signed to the world renowned Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The head of Nuclear Blast, Mike Monte, had the following to say about the decision to sign the band:
“I didn’t find Thy Art Is Murder, they found me! After getting multiple calls and emails from various industry contacts telling me ‘you gotta hear this band!’ and seeing the online buzz at iTunes here in the U.S., it was very clear to me that something very real and organic was happening; this band was reacting massively all on their own,”Connor explains.
“I am proud to welcome Thy Art Is Murder as one of my first signings to Nuclear Blast Entertainment. I’ve signed some heavy bands over the years, but Thy Art Is Murder is sheer brutality of the highest and most extreme degree.”
Thy Art Is Murder guitarist Andy Marsh has had the folowwing to say:
“Nuclear Blast has always represented the pinnacle of extreme metal, a last bastion in an ever evolving industry. To say we now share a label with the greatest extreme metal bands of all time is ridiculous. It was never a dream, it was impossible. But we’ve done it. The future will be heavy.”
