Welsh death metal group Venom Prison have found a new home with Century Media Records.

Announced today, the group will release their forthcoming studio album on the record label. In a statement, the band said:

“We are proud to announce that VENOM PRISON has signed with Century Media Records for a worldwide deal. This deal marks the beginning of a new chapter for VENOM PRISON and we are honoured to call Century Media our home, which we look forward sharing with some of the most iconic artists in heavy metal, as well many of our talented friends.”

In a statement, Century Media Records director Philipp Schulte said:

“With VENOM PRISON one of the finest British bands of recent years joins the ranks of Century Media Records. VENOM PRISON's vision marks an overdue turning point in the sort of musical and lyrical complacency that has long plagued the worldwide metal scene. This is not your older brother's feel-good metal. This is extreme music with a compelling message, and it perfectly fits to what Century Media as a label will always stand for: Establishing bands and artists who are willing to make a difference and take a stand. VENOM PRISON is a trailblazing band for what metal can and will be in the upcoming decade. Welcome to Century Media Records!”

Venom Prison’s last proper studio album was 2019’s Samsara. In October, the band released Primeval, which is a collection of re-recorded songs from their early material. Next October, Venom Prison will embark on a headlining European tour with support from Creeping Death and Leeched.
