Edinburgh, Scotland-based punk rock group The Exploited inked a record contract with Nuclear Blast Records, revealing this development on January 17th, 2014.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Wattie Buchan issued the following statement: \u201cAt last, after giving my word four years ago that we would sign to Nuclear Blast, it\u2019s now official! For us, it\u2019s a big deal to be signing to the biggest indie record company in Europe. One of the main reasons we signed to them is the fact that Markus (Staiger), the owner, is a big Exploited fan and I know he will give us 100% backing to make the next album as great as the last ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger, meanwhile, shared the following words: \u201cHaving The Exploited sign a deal is a longtime dream coming true. In my youth, I listened to hardcore and punk almost exclusively and The Exploited have been one of my absolute favourites ever since. Records like Punk\u2019s Not Dead<\/em> (1981), Troops Of Tomorrow<\/em> (1982) and later on also Beat The Bastards<\/em> (1996) and Fuck The System<\/em> (2003) have been on heavy rotation constantly. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe shows of this band have always been and still are a very special experience. Honest, hard and snotty \u2014 just like punk should be. A true highlight for me, of course, was their performance at the Nuclear Blast HQs on my birthday in 2013. After that, the deal had been set via handshakes and we\u2019d been celebrating \u2019till the break of dawn! Welcome to Nuclear Blast, guys. Punk\u2019s not dead!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Eighth studio record Fuck The System<\/em> was released in March 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
