Sumerian Records signs Circle Of Contempt

As we first suggested last November, Sumerian Records has indeed signed Finnish progressive/metal outfit Circle Of Contempt (formerly known as Thrust Moment). The group is set to enter the studio in March, with their debut album slated for a summer release. Guitarist Risto-Matti Toivonen comments: "We are extremely honored to have this great opportunity to join Sumerian Records. Some of our favorite bands such as The Faceless and Born of Osiris belong to the Sumerian family, so for obvious reasons this is a dream come true. Being a new band from Finland, we would have never imagined we would have the great opportunity in signing to such a heavy hitting American label. Look forward to great things, we enter the studio later this month and will be touring worldwide soon after. We look forward to meeting you all." You can check out the band online here.

I hope they are recording with the Faceless's Michael Keene! That guy is like the best producer out there and gets some great tones!

thevenaedge 2/20/2009 2:57:44 PM

metal has been saturated with this terrible shit, and as a result i now hate metal. thanks a lot you dweebs

anautopsy 2/20/2009 3:06:03 PM

every sumerian band is terrible, minus the faceless. i'm sure these guys are no different. no care ever.

Chaosweaver 2/20/2009 3:31:38 PM

I am 100% confident that if you put these songs on the Born of Osiris page and said it was their new stuff, nobody would question it.

chicken_gang_bang 2/20/2009 3:32:32 PM

considering the label I thought this would be a lot worse than it is

rhizome 2/20/2009 3:33:30 PM
