After delighting their fans with several energetic festival shows during the past summer months it’s time to grind you into bloody pulp again with a monstrous hard-/metalcore, grindcore package. NAPALM DEATH participate in The Persistence Tour 2005 alongside such infamous acts as Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Born From Pain and many others. Vocalist Barney Greenway looks forward to heat up the cold December days with some aural full-front assault: “December always seems to be a particularly fun time to tour, and we are looking forward especially to the Persistence tour because this particular traveling circus always seems to look so much fun from the outside. I’m sure there will be lots of camaraderie, and it’ll be interesting to see both the newer bands and Agnostic Front, who I haven’t seen live for some time. It’ll be nice to see Hatebreed also after Jamey helped us out on the album. For all you kids, we’ll be playing as intensely as we can. Dance hard, but have respect for each other – violence, no thanks!” / Barney

Century Media Records is proud to present you its newest signing with German black metal hopefuls DARK FORTRESS, who will debut with their fourth full-length release “Séance” on January 30th, 2006 in Europe. Formed anno 1994 DARK FORTRESS have established themselves in the top ranks of the genre with captivating, intense live shows and fascinating pitch black full-length masterpieces that meet the standard created mostly in northern Europe’s prolific scenes with ease. Having released a self-financed demo tape, a nowadays highly sought-after MCD on the small black metal label Fog Of The Apocalypse and two fantastic albums on the US based underground label Red Stream Records, the band’s 2004 output “Stab Wounds” manifested the reputation within the underground scene as well as it established the name DARK FORTRESS in the main metal media. As a prime example, German Rock Hard magazine stated DARK FORTRESS being “too good, too original and heavy to be ignored. Simply the best German black metal has to offer!”.
