Them Signs to SPV/Steamhammer
The German-American band Them has signed to Steamhammer/SPV. The band features vocalist KK Fossor (ex-Coldsteel), guitarist Markus Ullrich (Lanfear, Septagon, A Cosmic Trail), guitarist Markus Johansson (Sylencer, 4ARM), bassist Mike Lepond (Symphony X, Ross The Boss), drummer Angel Cotte (Demolition Hammer) and keyboardist Richie Seibel (Lanfear, Ivanhoe). The release of their second album, "Manor Of The Se7en Gables," has been announced for October 2018.
Head of Steamhammer Olly Hahn has great confidence in the new SPV signing: "Thanks to their charismatic frontman KK Fossor and their extremely interesting concept it shouldn't take long for Them to establish themselves at the very top of the metal scene. We're delighted to support them in achieving their goal."
Markus Ullrich is also thoroughly optimistic: "We're convinced that SPV is the perfect label to take the next steps with and turn Them into an internationally acclaimed act."
THEM has a couple of live shows planned as of now:
10.05.18 DE-Bad Friedrichshall - Lemmy's

Lanfear/Atlantean Kodex Members Form Septagon
German speed/thrash act Septagon - featuring members of Lanfear and Atlantean Kodex - will release the debut album "Deadhead Syndicate" via Cruz Del Sur Music on Feb 5th (Europe) and Feb 12th (World).
Septagon is the creature of Lanfear/Them mastermind Markus "Ulle" Ullrich, who in 2013 met Markus Becker (Atlantean Kodex) with the idea of forming an old-school speed/thrash metal band which had the aggression of Exodus, Slayer and Testament but also the melody and technical appeal of Forbidden, Heathen, Realm, Watchtower. Fans can expect fast, technical thrash mixed with mid-paced groove and good hook lines!
The track list and album artwork are:
1. Ignite the Apocalypse
2. Revolt Against the Revolution
3. Exit...Gunfire
4. Ripper
5. Septagon Conspiracy
