Long Island (NY) – Progressive Death Metal duo IAPETUS have signed to Willowtip Records! The band is hard at work writing what will be their third full-length album for the label. Stay tuned!
Band members Jordan Navarro and Matthew Cerami released the following statement concerning the signing:
“We are honored, humbled, and thrilled to announce our partnership with Willowtip Records – to join their incomparable roster, both past and present, and to stand alongside so many incredible bands that we have long admired both as fans and peers.Willowtip is and has always been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of metal – to championing the off-beat and the unfamiliar – and so we feel resolutely at home beneath their legendary, ever-innovative banner. This partnership is, for us – and in so many ways – a perfect fit. We could not be more excited for the endeavors ahead.
Writing for our next album has been ongoing for years, and is still well underway – while it’s still too far-off for specific details, we can promise that it will be our darkest record yet – an 80+ minute conceptual rumination on hopelessness, mortality, and meaning in an uncaring cosmos. More news will become available as the album progresses.
And, as always, our unending gratitude for the continual support of our fans across the globe – if you haven’t already, check out some of our new, outstanding labelmates – An Abstract Illusion, Countless Skies, Hath, Slugdge, The Anchoret, and more!”
