Relapse Records signs Mumakil

Official press release: Relapse Records is proud to announce the signing of Geneva, Switzerland's Mumakil. Mumakil are currently writing the follow-up album to their debut full-length "Customized Warfare." Mumakil's Sebastien Schacher says of the signing and new album; "We're all really excited here since the signature with Relapse Records. This means a lot of work for us. We are really motivated in recording the most brutal grind CD we're able to. We'll start the recording in the end of August/early-September 2008, in Geneva, and will work full-time on it. Our guitarist (Jerome Pellegrini) will carry about all the recording and mixing, and we'll do the mastering in Sweden, at Cutting Room studios." Mumakil also have a number of shows lined up including a performance at the 'Grind The Nazi Scum' Festival in Torgau, Germany this weekend. In addition to "Customized Warfare," Mumakil has also released a number of split releases including a split with now label-mates Misery Index, a split with Inhume that was released as part of the Relapse Records Slimewave Series, and an upcoming split with Blockheads coming via Bones Brigade. Audio samples taken from these releases and more can be heard now via the band's MySpace.
