BLOOD RED THRONE Sign Deal With Nuclear Blast Records
May 14th, 2021

Norwegian death metal band Blood Red Throne have signed an album contract with Nuclear Blast Records, confirming this development on May 14th, 2021.

Speaking about the deal, Blood Red Throne guitarist Daniel “Død” Olaisen said: “Becoming a part of the Nuclear Blast family has been a huge goal for me for years. I always felt Blood Red Throne deserved better after all these years and when I got to meet Gerardo Martinez (USA General Manager) and Oscar Martinez (Product Manager) when we toured the US 11 years ago, I kept in touch with them and tried to convince signing us even back then. Years went and albums were released and I never gave up.

“I knew we had a real masterpiece this time with the new album, and Gerado simply could not let it go this time. When he sent over the contract, both the band and especially myself were super excited and satisfied. Finally, after ten years of trying! This band has so much potential and what better option than Nuclear Blast to team up with!”

Blood Red Throne spent most of their Covid-quarantine writing riffs and recently wrapped up recording their tenth album that’s due out later in 2021.

Regarding the new album, Olaisen added: “Blood Red Throne still delivers quality death metal, but even after writing the first song, we felt that we were on to something new this time. Of course, it’s still death metal, but some of the riffs and arrangements introduce something new for us at least. Ten bad ass tracks wrapped in a killer production, we really can’t wait to show our old fans as well as gaining new ones. Death metal will never die and we will keep going til the end!”

Blood Red Throne’s line-up is as follows:

Yngve “Bolt” Christiansen (vocals)
Daniel “Død” Olaisen (guitar)
Ivan “Meathook” Gujić (guitar)
Stian “Gunner” Gundersen (bass)
Freddy “The Shred” Bolsø (drums)

Ninth studio record Fit To Kill was released in September 2019 via Mighty Music.
