All Shall Perish sign w/ Nuclear Blast

Oakland, California outfit All Shall Perish have officially signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records. Here's a statement from the band regarding the signing: "We are beyond honored to be part of the Nuclear Family. The people of this label are some of the greatest we have ever met in the business and this label has had a legacy of music that is untouchable. To be along side greats such as Death, Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, In Flames, Malevolent Creation, Meshuggah, Hypocrisy, Soilwork, just to name a few, is a dream come true for us. Now with Nuclear signing bands such as Agnostic Front and Misery Index, I think it's obvious why Nuclear Blast is No. 1 in extreme music." The death metal/hardcore band's most recent album, entitled "Hate.Malice.Revenge" and only currently available in the U.S. and Japan, will receive worldwide release via Nuclear Blast on February 14, 2005. The group will tour much of 2005, in addition to writing their next album, which should be available in early-2006.
