Dismember sign to Nuclear Blast Records

DISMEMBER have signed to Nuclear Blast Records!

As one of the most influential death metal bands of all time, the Swedish pioneers are revered in extreme music circles. Now, three years after the reforming, the band have signed to Nuclear Blast Records, the label responsible for the release of their 1990 demo, Reborn In Blasphemy, and 1991’s debut album Like An Everflowing Stream. Through signing with Nuclear Blast, the band have re-released a fully remastered version of Like An Everflowing Stream, with more re-issues of their discography in the works for later this year.

Speaking about signing with Nuclear Blast, drummer Fred Estby says, “after reuniting the original line-up and performing sold out shows in 2019, the axe chopping business needed a solid partner to get the festering complete back catalogue back on the streets. The unholy alliance of 1990 is reconfirmed, DISMEMBER and Nuclear Blast Records are once again a perfect kill team!”

Jens Prüter, Head of A&R Nuclear Blast Europe, adds, “it’s a pleasure to bring back one of the Nuclear Blast bands of the early days. The 1991 debut album Like An Ever Flowing Stream quickly became a death metal classic and they haven’t released a weak album until they officially split up 20 years later in 2011. I still remember one of their last shows, in 2008 at the Party-San Open Air, where they played with their buddies GRAVE and UNLEASHED – only ENTOMBED was missing to complete the Big Four of Stockholm Death Metal. And it was a pleasure to see them again on their first reunion show in 2019 at the Scandinavian Death Fest in their hometown. Only a few seconds in it was clear that they were back in full force. Welcome back!”
