Reflection-Cruz
Del Sur: Official Joint Press Statement
It is with great satisfaction that
Cruz Del Sur Music (Italy) and Reflection (Greece) can
now officially announce the reaching of an agreement,
for the release of Reflection's forthcoming epic doom
metal album on Cruz Del Sur Music .
The band's next album on Cruz Del Sur Music is
planned for May 2008 and it's going to be entitled "When
Shadows Fall".
This is the beginning of a prosperous relationship
between both parties.
Over recent years Cruz Del Sur
has emerged as one of the most-motivated record labels
in heavy metal and associated genres. The label's versatile
and engaging band roster (also including Pharaoh, Slough
Feg, Battleroar, Widow, Dantesco, Ignitor among others)
provides strong testimony to all this.
On the other side, Reflection is proved to be one
of the oldest and most respected bands in the epic/doom
metal domain for over 16 years with many live performances
and five official releases (2 singles, and 3 albums).
Stathis Pavlantis (gutarist)speaks
for Reflection:
"After a long time of negotiations for the
new long awaited Reflection album we finally reached
the end! We are grateful to the labels that approached
the band with serious offers for a recording contract,
but after taking everything under consideration we strongly
believe that signing with Cruz Del Sur is the best possible
move for us. The label's feedback for honesty, integrity,
loyalty and stature in the metal scene is excellent
and we are convinced that Cruz Del Sur is definitely
the right label for Reflection. We are thus now looking
forward to bring this grand alliance to realisation.
This album is the first step to a new era for the band
and we strongly believe that is just the beginning of
a very creative cooperation for both parties:"
Cruz Del Sur Music owner, Enrico
Leccese: "It's natural that I am glad to be working
with Reflection: Greece is one of the most important
countries for heavy metal and REFLECTION is one of Greece's
key- bands. Aside from the serious negotiations that
went on for months before reaching an agreement, it's
no doubt that I felt a natural ease when dealing with
Stathis because after all - we share centuries of collective
practices and conducts with Greek people. But I am sure
that all the fans of EPIC DOOM METAL will love the classicism
and sense of tradition that comes out of REFLECTION's
compositions - and the attention to details that was
used in the production of the album. We have set a release-date
for late may 2008, but if you check band's and our site,
you can have sneak previews of what we're talking about!"
