Pulverised Records has announced the signing of legendary Czech Republic-based death metallers MASTER.

States A&R; Manager Calvin: "Master was and is still truly an influential band and I would daringly assumed that a lot of the early Extreme Metal bands were somehow influenced by Master, but was probably never open and admitted widely. Paul Speckmann was really enthusiatic to join the Pulverised family and furthermore, very easy to work with. There were so many things that we have discussed and were definitely on the same page, so an album deal was struck in no time. We hope that with our support on the upcoming new album, it will be Master's most devastating and crushing album yet!"

Comments Paul Speckmann: “It's an honor and a pleasure to be signing with a real label like Pulverised Records. I really feel like this label will believe in Master like a label should. It's really been difficult to find a label that is willing to dedicate itself to a band like Master who incidentally has been surviving the underground since 1983. I certainly have confidence in Pulverised Records and hopefully we can bring the band along to the next level. Forget all the cheap imitators, there is only one Master consisting of Speckmann, Nejezchleba and Pradlovsky, so be forewarned. The soon to be recorded new CD will be as brutal as its predecessor. Look for speed, intensity and as always objective lyrical content. For myself, I certainly live through my music, it is certainly my muse.”

Speckmann and co. are set to commence work on the new material for a full-length album in August and the new album should be completed at the end of 2009. More details and announcements will be made.

Master will kick off their tour on 5th of June 2009 with 2 shows in Germany before proceeding for a 21-date American tour starting on 8th of July 2009 onwards.

Master is: Paul Speckmann – Vocals, Bass, Alex Nejezchleba – Guitars, Zdenek Pradlovsky - Drums.
