Gozu Signs With Blacklight / Metal Blade

Blacklight Media / Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the worldwide signing of Boston's rock/metal outfit Gozu. Formed in 2010, the four-piece released one EP and three full-lengths to-date, and is currently writing a fourth studio album, set for a 2017 release.

Gozu comments: "We are extremely excited to be signed to Blacklight Media / Metal Blade Records, started by celebrity chef Chris Santos and partnered with legendary Metal Blade founder and CEO, Brian Slagel. The 4 members of Gozu couldn't be happier. This is why we plug in every night."

Chris Santos (Blacklight Media) adds: "I caught Gozu at Brooklyn's Metal Bar Lucky 13 Saloon and they blew me away. By the second song in their set, I began sending Brian real time video of the show. Gozu represents the bands that I look for for BLM; It's hard to articulate, but you know it when it grabs you by the throat."

Previously, the group has shared the stage with the likes of St. Vitus, Pallbearer, Lo Pan, Storm of Light, Helmet, Elder, Mos Generator, and Fu Manchu in the States, as well as Yob, Church of Misery and Kvelertak in Europe at Roadburn (Netherlands) and DesertFest Berlin (Germany). 2017 will surely see Gozu back on the road again, and at the forefront of the heavy rock and metal world.
