CREMATORY – Signs With Napalm Records

One of the pioneering acts of the fertile European goth metal scene in the 1990s, CREMATORY began as a strict death metal unit in 1991 before adding goth and industrial elements into their arsenal. In their 28 year long career, the band, centered around original members Markus Jüllich and Felix Stass, released 14 studio albums, three live albums, various compilations and splits, played hundreds of shows around the globe and they are still hungry for more.

Napalm Records is proud to announce the partnership with Crematory, one of the most influential bands of the last several decades and to work on their next studio album, which will be out in spring 2020.

Crematory also partnered up with Napalm Events Booking as their new worldwide booking agency, which will organize a massive tour in spring 2020, next to the release of the new studio album!

Crematory on the signing: “We are looking forward to the cooperation with Napalm Records and Napalm Events Booking and we are happy to announce the release of our new studio album and tour in spring/summer 2020. After 28 years of Crematory it’s great to be a part of Napalm Records and Napalm Events Booking, with their worldwide connections, distribution and their great promotion department. They are one of the leading metal labels in the world.”

Anniversary time! For 25 years now, Germany’s leading gothic metal act Crematory have enthralled their countless fans at home and abroad. Since the band was founded in 1991, they have released twelve studio albums, in addition to a number of live recordings, singles, EPs and compilations. A proud record which is about to reach new heights with Crematory’s upcoming thirteenth studio album Monument. Their latest recording is scheduled for global release on Steamhammer/SPV on 15 April 2016 as Digi/ 2LP / download and will mark an unmistakable return to metallic toughness by the band from Mannheim. Infinitely more strongly than on its predecessor Antiserum (2014), the twelve tracks on Monument are based on brute guitar riffs and hard-as-nails drum grooves, replete with sinister keyboard hooks and that mix of growls and clear vocals – some in English, some in German – that is so typical of this band. The group’s fans will be thoroughly delighted with Monument and its dynamic sound.
