Rotten Sound Inks Deal With Relapse Records

Relapse Records has announced the signing of Finland’s Rotten Sound.

ROTTEN SOUND (Keijo Niinimaa – vocals, Mika Aalto – guitars, Sami Latva – drums, Toni Pihlaga – bass) formed in 1993 and has released a series of full-length albums and EP’s since their formation. Their latest album, “Cycles“, was released in January of 2008 and debuted at #12 on the Finnish charts.

Rotten Sound is currently writing their follow-up to “Cycles”, but will first see an EP release early next year. The EP, “Napalm“, is scheduled for a March.

Rotten Sound’s frontman had this to say about signing to Relapse, “Relapse Records has been a strong label for grindcore since they started, which is one of the reasons that made us want to re-release our “Murderworks” album through them in 2005. We will fit to their roster like a fist to an ass. Being along the same line with other label-mates is very important for us because we want to tour all over this planet with bands we like ourselves. ”

Niinimaa goes on to say, “The upcoming “Napalm” EP and the next full-length album will start a new and (even) more aggressive era for Rotten Sound. Doing it together with Relapse Records will make this period more grind than any of our phases before.”
