UNEARTH Sign Worldwide Album Contract With Century Media Records
March 16th, 2018

Boston, Massachusetts-based metalcore group Unearth have signed a worldwide album contract with Century Media Records, revealing this development on March 16th, 2018.

Unearth commented: “For three decades, Century Media have been a highly trusted and leading force in heavy music and we are proud to further our partnership with them to a worldwide level. We saw their passion for music, dedication to promotion, ability to help secure touring/festival opportunities and the face to face personal relationships bands desire from labels from the European team during their release of our last album, Watchers Of Rule, so we know CM is the right worldwide home for us to bring everyone what’s next in all things Unearth.

“We want to thank everyone at Century Media for bringing us into the fold to partner with a label that has such a rich history in heavy metal and hardcore while also continuing to be at the top of the label game. We’ll see you all this summer starting on Warped Tour and continuing far beyond with worldwide touring on our new album.”

Century Media Europe’s head of A&R Jens Prüter added: “It was 15 years ago when I first saw Unearth in 2003 at the local Pressure Festival in Essen, Germany with Dark Tranquillity, Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban, Naglfar, Stampin’ Ground, Maroon, Aborted and Carnal Forge. Hatebreed, Amon Amarth and Youth Of Today played as well but it was almost a Century Media festival — and actually a perfect example how close metal and hardcore could get.

“I was a huge fan of Unearth’s Endless EP (2002) and their performance was sheer energy — and it still is! It was great to follow their evolution starting from the early metalcore scene to the main stages of major festivals like Wacken, Hellfest and also this year’s Warped Tour.

“We already released their last album, Watchers Of Rule, on Century Media Europe and are very proud about a new worldwide partnership.

“Thanks, Unearth! Looking forward to the next chapter!”

Unearth’s line-up is as follows;

Trevor Phipps (vocals)
Ken Susi (guitars)
Buz McGrath (guitars)
Chris O’Toole (bass)
Nick Pierce (drums)

Unearth are due to enter Graphic Nature Studios in Belleville, New Jersey with producer Will Putney to begin recording their seventh full-length studio album. The production of drum parts will be overseen by Killswitch Engage’s Adam Dutkiewicz. A late summer / early autumn issue is slated.

Sixth studio record Watchers Of Rule was released in October 2014 via Century Media Records in Europe. North American issue was handled by eOne Music.
