NEWS: Claustrofobia sign with M-Theory Audio!

They may have only just *ahem* unleashed new album “Unleeched” on 31st July but alongside the announcement of their signing with M-Theory Audio comes the news of a cassette edition via the label on CD and limited-edition cassette (100 copies) as Claustrofobia start a new chapter. The band originated in Brazil in the ‘90s but relocated to the states to further their cause a few years back. A year ago they premiered a music video for “Stronger Than Faith” from the aforementioned album with 13th September seeing the physical editions appearing and in case you were wondering, they have not one but two bonus tracks on them. Pre-orders are available here.

Vocalist and guitarist Marcus D’Angelo comments: “We are super excited to be joining the M-Theory Audio roster. Based on a love of music, we have nurtured a healthy relationship with their entire team over the past years and things just happened naturally and at the best time for the band. The fact that we are being taken care by a team with over 30 years of great reputation in the global Heavy Metal scene really makes us very happy and secure. Their commitment to their work and love for Metal converges at Claustrofobia’s principles and we can’t wait to start this new era. The first step in our partnership with M-Theory Audio will be the reissue of the album “Unleeched” including two bonus tracks – “Riff Cult” and “Força além da Força” which is a Portuguese version of Pantera’s “Strength Beyond Strength”.

We composed and recorded this album during the pandemic, and all that atmosphere of uncertainty, fear and faith were crucial to finishing the work. For the first time we used clean vocals on a song, we brought Marc Rizzo [Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Ill Nino guitarist] as a guest player. This album is very brutal but there are lots of emotions on it. I consider it our most inspired album ever because the band was united and solid. We are finishing a new video clip and we will release some studio report episodes of the recording session of this album that will show the essence of this album. We are about to start a North American tour in September/October alongside Sepultura, Obituary and Agnostic Front, and 90% of our set list will be from the album ‘Unleeched.’”
