Hammercult Comments On Signing With Steamhammer

As was announced yesterday, neo-thrash outfit Hammercult from Israel signed a new record deal with German based label SPV/Steamhammer. The first release will be the new album "Built For War." Band leader and singer Yakir Shochat today comments on the deal:

"This October will mark 5 years from the day we stepped into the rehearsal room for the first time and Hammercult was born. It's been a hell of a ride - with 5 full European tours supporting legendary bands who we grew up listening to (Sepultura, DRI, Napalm Death etc...), around 150 live shows in over 20 countries, countless festivals, 2 killer extreme metal albums - and the best is still yet to come!

"We are proud to join the SPV/Steamhammer family, one of the biggest international metal labels, with it's own glory history. I'm positive that with SPV/Steamhammer behind us, new goals will be achieved and Hammercult's extreme metal will spread stronger than ever!"

Steamhammer A&R Representative Olly Hahn ads: "Hammercult is one of these bands who are willing to have success. They are more than 100% into the metal genre and can`t wait to play another show or festival. The new album will be a surprise and I´m sure that we both have a great future in front of us!"

The new album was mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Moonspell, The Haunted, Dark Tranquility) and is currently scheduled for release on August 28th as a digipak version, LP version and digital download.
