The young band from Canada won a record deal with Nuclear Blast and their debut album ‘Profugus Mortis’ will be released on March 20th!

‘When we decided to organize a MySpace Contest where up and coming (unsigned) bands could win a record deal with Nuclear Blast, we never expected that we would receive almost 3000 entries to check out over the 5 months of this competition!

We want to thank all the bands that have participated on this contest trying to fullfill their dreams for a record deal!’ Jaap Wakemaker of Nuclear Blast

The album is said to appeal to all fans of bands like WINTERSUN, ENSIFERUM and KORPIKLAANI but with more brutal vocals!В
