Meltdown Signs With Nuclear Blast Records


Thrash is definitely back on track – and we're not talking about some modern hype bullshit! We're talking about good old Thrash back from the days when METALLICA literally turned the Metal scene upside down by setting the cornerstone for a new movement and new standards in meaning of heaviness, speed and sonic brutality. So do MELTDOWN in times where fashion and polished clean vocals rule the business – well, of course they do not set new standards and so on, but they do take the Metal community back to early 1980, thrashing Metal mad like hell! Being still young, angry and possessed by old school Metal, MELTDOWN from Los Angeles, California were immediately signed to Nuclear Blast when the label's officials first heard their demo of 2007! Here's what Nuclear Blast A&R Marko Sirac has to say about the signing of this new, fresh & very promising young band: "MELTDOWN are just killer! This young band ´s old school Thrash sounds fresher than it did ever before by a band of that age! These guys really have style!" MELTDOWN will enter the legendary Stage One Studios with even more legendary producer Andy Classen (LEGION OF THE DAMNED, DEW-SCENTED, NEAERA, BELPHEGOR, ASPHYX, etc. etc…) this week to record their first album "Executioner" which is set to be unleashed in August 2008!
