(Pivotal Rockordings) Pivotal Rockordings congratulates Swedish death metallers Zonaria on its signing with Century Media Records. Guitarist Emil Nystrφm comments on the amicable parting of ways with his band's now former label:"So it might seem weird that we leave Pivotal Rockordings after releasing only one album, but it's nothing like that! We put out a great debut on the greatest small label in the world. They have been like our brothers in supporting us since day one with everything they had in them. Pivotal made sure we got to do several tours and got us good press, so much so that it allowed for a lot of bigger labels to become interested in us. And since the staff of Pivotal is 100% in it for the music and gives all the money they make back to the bands without pocketing a cent, they helped us to develop further as artists. Zonaria would like to thank them for the time in every way possible."
Adds Pivotal Rockordings co-founder Alexi Front: "We are very proud to see Zonaria - a band we spent years developing -move onto a large label like Century Media. The 'Infamy And The Breed' release was a great success, indicative of not only the band's hard work, but also our ability to help them get to the next level. Now that they are there, we look forward to seeing their continuous success. We will continue to work with the band to certain extents, and we look forward to seeing Zonaria succeed in their upcoming releases through Century Media. Zonaria leaves Pivotal Rockordings on the best of terms, and we know that the future will only bring them success."
Zonaria's debut album "Infamy and The Breed" was released in September through Pivotal Rockordings. The band will hit the road this Fall supporting VADER and GRAVE throughout Europe. The album is available in stores and online through Pivotal Rockordings and free audio samples are available on the band's MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/zonaria).
