(SPV) A joint venture of a very special kind promises to bring a fresh breeze to the German metal scene: SPV, the record imprint from Hanover, and Wacken Records have announced their cooperation in the marketing, promotion and worldwide distribution sectors. At the same time, Wacken Records (formerly trading under the name of Armageddon Music) will be incorporated into the SPV system, while remaining an independent company which will benefit from the international contacts and longstanding experience of its new partner. With the support of Wacken Records, SPV will in turn gain access to a wider forum and increase its focus on discovering, supporting and promoting newcomer acts.
The first wave of Wacken Records will be released on October 7th 2008. Highlighted by the brand new album from Holy Moses entitled "Agony of Death" the first wave of Wacken Records will also see Rose Tattoo's "Blood Brothers", SuidAkrA's "13 Years of Celtic Wartunes, and Forever Slave's "Tales for Bad Girls.
An 8-minute preview of the new Holy Moses album "Agony of Death" is streaming online at the Wacken Records USA - MySpace page.
