 German riffers Callejon have announced that they have signed a worldwide record deal with Nuclear Blast Records and are working on releasing a full album later this year.
Nuclear Blast commented that "Fusing the skills, the aesthetics and the power of the band with the experience, knowledge and also power of Nuclear Blast, the team will definitely raise the bar for all other bands in modern metal/metalcore! UGH!"
Vocalist Bastian Sobtzick noted that "Sweat, blood, gas, miles n miles of traffic jams, sleepless nights, endless phone calls and emails, offers and meetings, contracts in English, German and Kisuaheli… just to finally find the ONE label to work with in the future. So what was really important for us?
"The three suitcases packed with money and the five brandnew Porsche Turbo (of course all white with red brake pads) as well as a faked drivers licence for Bernhard we all got as soon as the contract was signed? The rights for all Michaela-Schaffrath-„Movies“?
"Definitley not! Seriousley, with Nuclear Blast we found more than just a label. It was more a feeling of visiting old friends you can understand without many words. We are all so looking forward to the exciting stages of the album release as well as to more nice evenings playing pinball and having a cold beer or vodka lemon.
"Cheers to a cooperation you definitely will hear about in the future!!!
"But not only the label of choice has been found! We also found the poor bastard that will have to stand us for four weeks in the studio! We will head for Eike Freese’s EiKeyStudios to produce our new album this summer! The testing tracks were more than promosing and we felt really comfortable being there.
"Most likely we will rather spend all of Nuclear Blast’s money in shady stews than recording a proper album. A more exact date for the beginning of the recordings will be announced soon! Expect a studio diary of the walkin’ dead by then!!!
