January 27, 2014, 10 years ago
Detroit Metalcore act ASSASSINS have signed a North American record deal with eOne Music / Good Fight Music and plan to release a brand new LP titled War Of Aggression on March 18th. Frontman Todd Jansen weighs in on the news with an official statement:
This news is just the beginning. The real work starts now. Working with Good Fight and eOne gives Assassins the platform it needs to reach new heights and ambitions. We will make them proud of the trust they've decided to put into us. I am very much looking forward to seeing and meeting all of our fans on tour, because without them none of this would be possible.
We are here are because of those who believe in us. Myself and the rest of the band do not take that for granted. I hope everyone is as stoked about this news, and our debut full length as much as we are. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!"
