UK metalcore band CONTINENTS has signed on with Victory Records.
The label commented:
Victory Records, in Chicago, IL (USA), welcomes dynamic South Wales, UK Metal/Hardcore outfit CONTINENTS, to its roster.
Watch the full announcement video here. Kerrang magazine describes CONTINENTS sound as, “Energy-fueled epic-core with lots of aggression, a healthy blend of raw shouts and low end growls and foot stomping hooks.” Their music and intense stage presence has separated them from the ever-growing UK Metal/Hardcore scene. “We’ve always tried to put our own passion for our music before external influence, the most important thing for us is that we enjoy the music we play, and if other people enjoy it too then that’s awesome,” said Vocalist, Philip Cross. “We like to mix elements of our favorite styles and influences, and then put our own perspective on things to see where it takes us.” Formed in 2010, CONTINENTS quickly established themselves within the UK music scene. They are five self-proclaimed “lads with a party attitude who love getting groups of people into a room who share their passion for music.” In concert, this UK bunch throws a blistering barrage of songs and energy at the crowd which is evident in their first music video from the band’s self-released single “Trials”; which received over 10,000 views on YouTube, in just the first few days. Thanks to “Trials”, in November the band was voted as a favorite YouTube UK Metal Act and was featured on the YouTube home page. CONTINENTS will be killing it on stage Saturday, June 30, at Leeds University for Europe’s biggest indoor metal/hardcore festival, GHOSTFEST 2012. They will be joining the likes of EMMURE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, COMEBACK KID, DEFEATER and many more! Watch for the announcement of CONTINENTS debut album and stay tuned for updates! And new merchandise is now available through the Victory Records Webstore.
