> TRANSCEND SIGN TIDES OF VIRTUE
Transcend Records are pleased to announce the signing of Tides of Virtue who will be unleashing their album Malevolence on the unsuspecting public in May 2010.
Tides of Virtue have since their inception in June of 2008 worked relentlessly hard to demonstrate total dedication and passion for their music, live shows and supporters. In their first year as a band they played over 75 shows in the UK and Europe, visited Studio 6 twice and played the reputed Metalfest 3 and Camden Curse Festivals.
Tides of Virtue deliver a tight and yet ferociously devastating live show with a combination of fast paced aggressive riffs, technically savage drumming, crushing breakdowns, twin guitar harmonies, intricate solos and hellish vocals, Tides of Virtue will leave new and old audiences permanently scarred by what that have witnessed.
Transcend Records Managing Director, Rob Ferguson had this to say “Aside from being an awesome band some of the qualities I look for in any artist are enthusiasm, passion and dedication - these boys have this by the bucket load. I have no doubt it will be a pleasure to work with Tides and look forward to helping them achieve their goals whilst having a great time along the way.”
Tides of Virtue have already shared the stage with many incredible acts, to name but a few: Shadows Fall (US), Misery Signals (US), Your Demise, The Number Twelve Looks Like You (US), Viatrophy, Sylosis, It Prevails (US), This Is Colour, Azriel, Annotations Of An Autopsy, The Argent Dawn, The Eyes Of A Traitor, Postmortem Promises, Ligeia (US), Evita, Shadow Law, Days Of Betrayal (BEL) and Random Conflict.
