SKELETAL REMAINS Sign Album Contracts With Century Media And Dark Descent
September 13th, 2017

Whittier, California-based death metal group Skeletal Remains have signed an album contract with Century Media Records, covering all territories excluding North America. The band have signed a North American agreement with Dark Descent Records, meanwhile.

Skeletal Remains issued the following statement: “We’re extremely excited and honored to announce our signing with Century Media Records and Dark Descent Records! We’d like to thank Rico and the FDA family for everything they have done for us and helped us with in the past few years! We will be going into the studio record our next album in late October, so expect a release around spring next year. Thank you all for the support and we’ll be seeing you out on the road real soon!
 
Century Media Records Europe A&R Stefan Franke shared the following words, meanwhile: “Death metal is an integral part of Century Media’s DNA since day one! The label owes its early 90s success to acts like Asphyx, Grave, Unleashed, Morgoth, and Tiamat, and today holds one of the most impressive rosters within the genre including bands like At The Gates, Aborted, Deicide, Necrophobic, Vampire, Tribulation, Entombed A.D., Deserted Fear, Implore, Vallenfyre, Broken Hope and many more. Skeletal Remains have proven themselves live and on their excellent first two records turning influences from Pestilence, Demolition Hammer, Death, Obituary and early Gorguts into one hell of a lethal combination. After hearing some pre-production demos, you can rest assured: the deadliest is yet to come! Welcome to the family!”

Dark Descent Records founder Matt Calvert supplied the following: “Having witnessed the band’s impressive live performance at Maryland Deathfest 2017 and talking to them before and after their set, it was clear to me that more people need to hear this band. As purveyors of all things rotten and nasty, the partnership with Dark Descent Records is a perfect fit!”

Skeletal Remains’ line-up is as follows;

Chris Monroy (vocals and guitars)
Adrian Obregon (guitars)
Adrius Marquez (bass)
Johnny Valles (drums)

A third full-length studio album is slated for spring 2018 issue.

Tracking is taking place at Trench Studios in California, with mixing to be handled by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios in Örebro, Sweden.

Second studio record Condemned To Misery was released in August 2015 via FDA Records.
