NoiseArt Records has announced the signing of the German melodic death metal heroes, Nothgard.

Founded in late 2008 by singer and lead-guitarist Dom R. Crey, the band stands out due to technical guitars, epic orchestral elements and intoxicating live shows. With their two releases, Warhorns of Midgard (2011) and Age of Pandora (2014), Nothgard have already got a large following. Their blend of melodic death metal with the mentioned epic elements and further influences out of Neo-Classic and Folk have quickly made them a favorite with fans and critics alike.

Mastermind Dom R. Crey states: "Wow, what else should I say... Basically these kind of statements tend to be the same all the time... The band says "we are very happy bla bla”, but let me tell you something:  Of course this is more than great but even more important is the fact, that I really think this will push Nothgard to a higher step. Not only because the label consists of highly professional working people but further more because it simply fits to the band, that's it.

“We have been talking about the plans of both sides for a couple of months and we finally decided that this is the best possible decision we can make. And of course we are very happy to work with NoiseArt Records, haha that's for sure! We are soooo looking forward to the release of our third album via NoiseArt and Universal! Believe me - it will be a f**** blast!"

The third Nothgard untitled studio album is planned for a release in September via NoiseArt Records. Stay tuned for more information.
