Californian thrashers FUELED BY FIRE have inked an European record deal with NoiseArt Records and a booking deal with Rock The Nation.

Commented the band about the signing: "We are extremely proud to announce that we are now a part of the Noise Art family. We feel that Noise Art is the perfect home for us; we have seen the great work Noise Art has done to help bands excel to their full potential throughout Europe and beyond. We are looking forward to a great future with them! And we want to thank NoiseArt for this opportunity to be a part of a great team… so, keep an eye out for us!"

We will be out in Germany for the Keep it True Fest in April 2012! We are working to set up a tour around that! Also we will be out in Europe in the summer for sure! So you’ll be seeing lots of FBF In the future! So be ready to get violent! We’ll also be playing a Festival in Bolivia with DRI that should be insane!!! There are a few more dates we are locking down as we speak… so this should be a busy year for us.

News on our next album… We are about half way done with writing the new album; it’s coming out really fuckin great! We’re happy with where our music is going! Fast and heavy and fuckin' violent like we like it! You’ll be banging your fuckin head soon!"
