STATE OF SALAZAR Ink Deal With Frontiers Records
February 8, 2013, 11 years ago
Frontiers Records has announced the signing of the swedish melodic rock newcomers STATE OF SALAZAR. The band was formed in 2010 by five students from the Malmö Academy of Music who wanted to play rock music made for the big arenas. The band's singer and songwriter, Marcus Nygren, began thinking of the concept of having a band like State of Salazar in 2009 when he wrote a couple of songs that did not fit his metal based band 8-Point Rose.
State Of Salazar released their debut EP Lost My Way in the summer of 2012. Considering bands such as TOTO, QUEEN, JOURNEY, SURVIVOR and especially Bill Conti and Vince DiCola have influenced them, State of Salazar have a lot to prove. But they handle all this pressure with their honor intact and their heads held high.
One of the bonus tracks from the EP 'I Believe In You' will be re-recorded from scratch and also included in the debut album, which has a working title of All The Way. You can check the original version on the Youtube clip below:
State Of Salazar's debut album is scheduled to be released later this year. For more details visit Facebook.
