TRANSCEND RECORDS NEW SIGNING
Transcend Records are pleased to announce the signing of Tides of Virtue who will be unleashing their album Malevolence on the unsuspecting public in May 2010. Tides Of Virtue have since their inception in June of 2008 worked relentlessly hard to demonstrate total dedication and passion for their music, live shows and supporters. In their first year as a band they played over 75 shows in the UK and Europe, visited Studio 6 twice and played the reputed Metalfest 3 and Camden Curse Festivals. Tides Of Virtue deliver a tight and yet ferociously devastating live show with a combination of fast paced aggressive riffs, technically savage drumming, crushing breakdowns, twin guitar harmonies, intricate solos and hellish vocals, Tides Of Virtue will leave new and old audiences permanently scarred by what that have witnessed. Transcend Records Managing Director, Rob Ferguson had this to say "Aside from being an awesome band some of the qualities I look for in any artist are enthusiasm, passion and dedication - these boys have this by the bucket load. I have no doubt it will be a pleasure to work with Tides and look forward to helping them achieve their goals whilst having a great time along the way." Tides Of Virtue have already shared the stage with many incredible acts, to name but a few: Shadows Fall (US), Misery Signals (US), Your Demise, The Number Twelve Looks Like You (US), Viatrophy, Sylosis, It Prevails (US), This Is Colour, Azriel, Annotations Of An Autopsy, The Argent Dawn, The Eyes Of A Traitor, Postmortem Promises, Ligeia (US), Evita, Shadow Law, Days Of Betrayal (BEL) and Random Conflict.  FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM NEW RELEASE! Fields Of The Nephilim have announced the imminent release of a new product for early 2010. It has been confirmed that this will be a multi-format offering which will include audio elements, DVDs featuring live performances from the Ceromonies events, documentary footage and exclusive packaging options for collectors. 
An exclusive preview of what we can expect early next year can be viewed here: Though much of the footage and recordings were captured throughout 2008/9 the final products will be mainly focused on the London Shepherds Bush two-night special ‘Ad Mortem and Ad Vitam’ shows on July 12th & 13th 2008 respectively. The band have also confirmed that following the conclusion of the Ceromonies events they will turn their attentions to new material which is likely to follow shortly after the initial audio-visual release. The bands enigmatic frontman Carl McCoy said “ The production of the live material has consumed most of our time recently, though it is now in its final production stage so we can now look to the future and concentrate on our new studio material, At this stage I can’t tell you what this will evolve into but we are working towards something new being released in 2010”.

The Ceromonies series began in Warsaw back in March 2008. RISE TO REMAIN SIGN TO TRANSCEND RECORDS Transcend Records are pleased to announce the signing of one of Britain's most promising young Metal acts – Rise To Remain.

The bands front man Austin Dickinson said "As a new band, we want to do things our own way, not follow the crowd and to be our own entity instead of trading quality for quantity, so to speak. For the sake of our longevity, its crucial that we get the right people, our own people, behind us. Transcend Records, boasting a stellar roster already, absolutely came through for us and are the ideal label for where we are currently at. We're incredibly happy that Rob and the rest of the Transcend team are working with us, and we absolutely can't wait to unleash hell with them!"

April 1st 2009 – With immediate effect Transcend Records have announced a clutch of exciting new signings to bolster their already impressive artist roster. New deals have been signed with the following acts: Cinders Fall, Idiom and Warrior Soul. Transcend’s main man Rob Ferguson said “I am really excited about the prospect of working with these three awesome bands. They represent the continuing development of our Rock and Metal music stable which is brimming with talent and quality product. Our roster reflects our policy of blending legendary established talent with the best of fresh and breaking acts” Warrior Soul  Iconic frontman Kory Clarke's vision permeates the proceedings: The band he created, Warrior Soul, which started from his spoken word performances on New York City's Lower East Side. From the trippy Doors-influenced debut to some of the punk-oriented and Metal material, Kory is a man on a mission, combining tradition with avant-garde creativity. We have a sneaking suspicion that the best may be yet to come... www.myspace.com/warriorsoulinfo Cinders Fall  Its always good to see a British band with so much promise - and Cinders Fall have that in spades. For a young band, they spew forth one hell of a cultivated sound that could easily be confused for In Flames or Dark Tranquillity when they were more metal and less progressive. They really understand what makes a great song, and they know how to use a great riff and garnish it with all the right harmonies and solos...these boys will go a long way. www.myspace.com/cindersfall Idiom  This band is a breath of fresh air for the Metal scene in fact its more like a hurricane! Exeter four-piece Idiom are at the forefront of the welcomed 2009 rock-rap revival. Formed in Devon in 2005, the hard-working collective take influence from bands as diverse and eclectic as Incubus, Rage Against The Machine, SiKth, System Of A Down and Deftones www.myspace.com/idiomuk FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM HEADLINE AMPHI! We can now confirm that the legendary Fields of the Nephilim will be headlining the Amphi festival in Germany, Cologne (Tanzbrunnen) on 18th July 2009.
