Noise Records Rejoins Sanctuary, leaving Century Media

After a successful three-year agreement, Century Media and Germany's Noise Records have completed their North America marketing and distribution agreement. It was during their tenure together, that Noise once again returned to top form bringing their brand of European metal to the expansive US marketplace. Effective January 1, 2002, Noise will return to their parent company, Sanctuary Records Group, who in 2000 assumed worldwide ownership of Noise, whose catalog includes releases from such heavy metal artists as Celtic Frost, Gamma Ray, Virgin Steele, Kamelot and Kreator. For the past year Sanctuary has since honored their obligation to the existing contract between Noise and Century Media, which effectively ends December 31, 2001.
