Blood Red Throne sign to Nuclear Blast Records

BLOOD RED THRONE have signed to Nuclear Blast Records!

After nearly two and a half decades and nine albums, most recently 2019’s Fit To Kill, Norway’s veterans have been dominating death metal like very few others. Now, after all this time, the band are deservingly being signed to one of the world’s largest metal record labels; Nuclear Blast.

Commenting on the signing, founding guitarist Daniel “Død” Olaisen states, “Becoming a part of the NB family has been a huge goal for me for years. I always felt BRT 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 10 years of trying! This band has so much potential and what better option than Nuclear Blast to team up with!”

The band have spent most of their COVID-19 quarantine writing riffs and have recently wrapped up recording their highly-anticipated 10th studio album, which is scheduled to be released later this year.

Olaisen adds, BRT 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. 10 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!”
