Derelict Sign to Year of the Sun Records for “Unspoken Words” Release

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

Montreal based DERELICT has officially signed with Year of the Sun Records and Kerosene Media for the release of their upcoming new album, Unspoken Words. The album will surface in stores across Canada on May 19. The group is currently streaming tracks from their forthcoming debut online at www.myspace.com/derelictmetal

“We’re really excited about getting this album out on a national scale. We’re really proud of ‘Unspoken Words’ and it’s a great feeling to know that there is a label that believes in the music as much as we do,” says DERELICT’s Eric Burnet.

“We’ve always had as our goal to combine far-ranging elements of metal and music in general, and we feel that with ‘Unspoken Words’ we’ve gotten much better at doing that. We’ll hit you with some brutal death metal, but infused with catchy melodies surrounded by progressive chaos and completely unexpected influences. I think our sound has diverse enough elements to appeal to fans of Gojira, Cryptopsy or even old school fans of Carcass. There’s something here for every metal fan and that’s something that’s very important to us.”

Unspoken Words was mixed and mastered by Chris Donaldson (Crytopsy, The Agonist).
