Century Media Records is excited to welcome Sweden’s Sarcator into the family.
The blackened/thrash metal band released their first demo ‘Visions Of Purgatory’ at a young age in 2019 via the American label Redifining Darkness. Only two years later, the four Swedes received a nomination for best rock/metal album for P3 Guld with their eponymous debut album. After releasing their third album with Black Lion Records in 2022, the band finally managed to perform live.
The current lineup, made up of young members between the ages of 19 and 25, is currently in the recording studio working on their new album, which will be their debut for the German label and is scheduled for release in early 2025.
The band released the following statement:
Mike Gitter (VP of A&R Century Media Records) on the unholy alliance:
Sarcator is pure blackened thrash-on-fire. Severely pissed and utterly fast and furious, the still barely out of their teens Swedish foursome take the thrashing blueprint, pour a ton of gasoline on it, light a match and they’re nothing short of explosive. Their third and upcoming LP is as modern and punk in its ferocity as it is classic, conjuring the sounds of Possessed and Kreator while amping up its very intensity. We’re excited to be working with Sarcator and have no question that the future of thrash is upon us. And it’s Swedish.
