Multi-national melodic metal band EDEN’S CURSE have signed a new Worldwide record deal with AFM Records.

The group, who are currently nearing the final stages of the writing phase for their as-yet-untitled fourth album, the first to feature new vocalist Marco Sandron (PATHOSRAY, FAIRYLAND) at the microphone, couldn’t hide their delight.

“Signing a new deal with AFM was one of the easiest decisions we have made as band”, quipped Bassist Paul Logue. “AFM have been our long term partners since 2007 and have always done a great job for us. We recently sat down together and discussed our future plans and where we saw the band headed and they made it known that they are firmly behind us”, he added further.

And what of the bands first ever world wide deal? “Consolidating everything under one roof, as opposed to having several separate deals, made great business sense to us and our management. I’m sure it means less paper work for all involved! We will however still be working with our long term Japanese partners, Spiritual Beast. Why fix what ain’t broke?”, enthused Logue.

And how is writing progressing with the new album? “It’s going! We are really into the home straight of the writing phase now. We are taking our time to make sure we have the song ideas that does the Eden’s Curse name proud and exactly what our fan base would expect from us. We are very excited by the new tunes."

Timo Hoffmann of AFM Records stated: “Working with Eden's Curse always was a delight. These guys are really dedicated to what they do and their ambitions, positive attitude and high standards always result in great quality. Since signing with us in 2007, the band has released three fantastic albums. No signs of slowing down – in fact it’s quite the contrary. But also beside the creative part, we found reliable partners in Eden's Curse. That’s why we are very happy that the previous deal with the band (which was for the European territory only) now has become enhanced to a worldwide deal. We are looking forward to a great fourth album next year, and many more to come hopefully…”

AFM Records have penciled in a spring 2013 release date for the new album.
