Ibex Moon Records have announced that they are working with the legendary MASTER. Master, originally from Chicago, IL now resides in the Czech Republic featuring members Paul Speckmann on bass and vocals (ABOMINATION, DEATH STRIKE, SPECKMANN PROJECT), Alex Nejezchleba on lead and rythem guitars, (SHAARK, MAMUT) and Zdenek Pradlovsky on drums (Shaark, KREYSON). Master was formed in late 1983 and released nine full length albums on Nuclear Blast, Twilight Vertrieb , Displeased, System Shock and Pavement. Paul Speckmann and Master have had an important impact on the development of extreme metal, including being a major influence on bands like NAPALM DEATH, DEATH, BENEDICTION, TERRORIZER, NAUSEA, CARCASS, PESTILENCE, and many more, not to mention pretty much the entire early '90's Swedish Death Metal scene.

John McEntee, owner of Ibex Moon Records: "In the 80's when I started really getting into the metal underground I would have never thought one day I would be releasing a recording by one of my favorite bands and biggest influences Master. For me and most other die hard underground metallers in the 80's and early 90's understand the massive impact Master has had on the world of extreme metal. Most of the extreme bands that have gone on to massive success in the early 90's wave of death metal would be lying if they said they weren't affected one way or another by the powerful aggressive songs of Master. Slaves To Society is quite possibly Master's most aggressive album released to date and I'm honored to be working with them.”

Paul Speckmann states, "This is an album that deals with the situation happening in the world today. We are all Slaves of the greater machine, just Slaves To Society.

Slaves To Society is the fastest and most interesting CD that Master has released since On The Seventh Day. Forget listening to the many imitators of Master. There is only one true original Master, and this CD "Slaves To Society" speaks for itself."

Ibex Moon Records will be releasing Master's Slaves To Society in early summer 2008.
