TIME AGAIN FOR THE LATEST NERVECELL UPDATE, STRAP YOURSELVES IN.....
Lifeforce is proud to announce the signing of Dubai's premier Death Metal act NERVECELL!
NERVECELL's Lifeforce debut will be the release of the band's album "Preaching Venom" outside the Middle East on October 26th in Europe (North America - tba).
"After months of discussions, negotiations and debates on seeking a secure label for our latest album ?Preaching Venom?, and the future of Nervecell during these difficult times in the record industry, the long awaited chase has indeed come to an end. We are extremely proud to announce that Nervecell has now officially signed to Lifeforce Records and to say that we are thrilled about it is the understatement of the year!!! comments guitarist Barney Ribeiro
We honestly feel that this new relationship with Lifeforce is a great accomplishment and one that many once thought was impossible for a metal band based in the Middle East; but as the NERVECELL legacy will tell, we are no strangers to breaking boundaries and crushing the limitations that we have constantly faced during the last 9 years in our career as a Dubai based death metal band. Having said that, to be the first band originating from Dubai to ever be on a label is a pretty cool bonus and yet another record broken!
To have Lifeforce Records backing us today and strongly believing in our music, we feel honored and rest assured we look forward to cooperating with them as we know this will only lead to bigger and better opportunities for the band.
Together with a strong team at Lifeforce Records we are confident that the future is bright? and well, we really couldn?t be happier!"
Lifeforce Records president Stefan Luedicke about the signing of NERVECELL:
"We at Lifeforce are more than happy to welcome Dubai?s premier Death Metal band on Lifeforce. I have been in touch with Barney for a while already, but after meeting the guys at this year With Full Force festival it was an easy decision for us to say that we need to work with Nervecell. We hardly ever met a band with such strong work ethic and with the the highly professional team of people working for the band it will be a great pleasure for us to get the name Nervecell out to the world."
NERVECELL BIO:
Nervecell emerged early in the year 2000 in the commercial city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Surrounded by a music scene that is dominated completely by the mainstream musical hype, Nervecell independently worked their way up and have undoubtedly proven to be the most potential metal outfit in the Middle East to date, delivering a powerful unique mixture of death metal & thrash metal.
After a series of lineup changes within the band it was only until 2003 that Nervecell decided to record the first demo entitled ?Vastlands of Abomination?. Following the success of the demo the band hit the studio to record their debut EP ?Human Chaos? in the summer of 2004. This release grabbed a lot of attention from both the underground local scene and around the globe. Being aired on local station Dubai Radio One?s weekly metal show Heavy Metal Thunder and various international radio stations as UK?s Total Rock and Germany?s The Metal Observer Radio, ranking their Top 20 charts. ?Human Chaos? also received many positive reviews from various webzines & magazines in Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Morocco, USA, Canada and Britain?s metal bible Metal Hammer. The success of ?Human Chaos? led Nervecell the opportunity to perform at the annual Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2005 opening for legendary SEPULTURA and the mighty MACHINE HEAD. In 2006, London based drummer Gavin Ward (ex-POWER QUEST) joined Nervecell and toured with the band for a good year and a half.
In 2007 Nervecell headlined the Egypt Metal Festival 2007, in Cairo, Egypt and soon after embarked on a full headlining ?Road Rage? tour in March/April 2007 in Australia culminating with the headline spot in Metalstock Festival 2007, Australia's only 3 day metal festival. After the successful Australian headlining tour, the band was then asked to play Metalcamp Festival 2007 in Tolmin, Slovenia alongside MOT?RHEAD, SEPULTURA, KREATOR, IMMORTAL, BLIND GUARDIAN, CRADLE OF FILTH and many others. In 2009 the band played such influential festivals as WACKEN open air, WITH FULL FORCE festival, ROCK AM RING/ ROCK IM PARK among others.
