Danish black/heavy metal outfit, Slaegt (aka Slægt, meaning "lineage” / “heritage" in Danish language and pronounced /slɛɡt/), one of the most vital and exciting bands to come out of the Scandinavian metal scene, announce that they’ve signed a new deal with Century Media Records.

So it would be an understatement to say, that we are truly looking forward to where this collaboration will take us, our music, and our listeners,” states Slægt about signing to Century Media.
