German thrashers FATAL EMBRACE have inked a deal with Metal Blade Records for the worldwide release of their upcoming new album, The Empires Of Inhumanity

The official press release reads as follows:

Formed in 1993, Fatal Embrace is not a band you would accuse of jumping on a bandwagon because thrash metal seems hip again. In fact, these young men started out in the early '90S (remember that was the time when thrash was dead) as a hard hitting metal band to praise the glorious days of the '80s when bands like SLAYER, EXODUS, METALLICA, VENOM, SODOM and KREATOR ruled the musical extremes. Fatal Embrace never compromised and over the years they released three albums on different labels. The Ultimate Aggression (1999), Legions Of Armageddon (2002) and Dark Pounding Steel (2006). All of them pumped up with adrenaline, energy and power.

After playing an insane amount of gigs and a few smaller tours here and there, Fatal Embrace return with a new label and album in 2010. The Empires Of Inhumanity is a classic Fatal Embrace album showing the band at their best. Move over if you are into poser shit. Stay here if you are into straight forward thrash metal and wanna hear an album again full of malicious intensity, raw power and shitloads of instant hits!

Comments Fatal Embrace singer Heiländer on the signing to Metal Blade: "When I had my hands on Slayer's Hell Awaits more than two decades ago I would never have expected to be on the same label one day. The Metal Blade logo is on dozens of albums in my vinyl collection and it's a great honour and challenge for us to be on this legendary label. We will work to the max and look forward to a great collaboration. Fatal Embrace will always stay Fatal Embrace: loud, extreme, brutal, fan friendly, timeless, without keyboards and 100000000% pure metal!"
