Sumerian Records hit their Facebook up early this morning (June 21st) to address the controversy that seems to have emerged recently following some of the bands more left-field signings (Borgore, etc.). Here’s what the label had to say on the matter:
“Dear Everybody,
There’s a difference between Sumerian Records the label and Sumerian Metal the movement. We have never set out to be a one dimensional label. When we sign a progressive metal band, you can count on them being fucking awesome. When we sign something out of your comfort zone, we can count on you to pay attention and you can count on us to keep you talking. From Meshuggah to Led Zeppelin, Tool to The Police, The Faceless to Dr. Dre.. if we like it then we like it. Our passion knows no boundaries. Now go check out ENFOLD DARKNESS and CIRCLE OF CONTEMPT as they deserve Sumerian Nation’s support.
P.S. We just signed The HAARP Machine so we can get away with murder right now. : )
