ROADRUNNER RECORDS SIGNS DAATH

New York, NY - Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of
Atlanta-based extreme metal band, DAATH.

DAATH (pronounced like "Goth," but with a "D") were signed by longtime
Roadrunner A&R man Monte Conner. Says Conner: "DAATH fuses elements of
cutting-edge death and black metal with expansive orchestral and
electronic themes. I haven't signed a death metal band since the early
90's, when that whole scene reached a serious saturation and then
stagnation point. But I never stopped following that genre and when
DAATH came along, I finally heard a new band who injected originality,
excitement and fresh ideas back into that style of music."

The band, featuring Sean Farber (vocals), Michael Kameron (synth,
backing vocals), Eyal Levi (guitar), Emil Werstler (guitar), Jeremy
Creamer (bass), and Matt Ellis (drums), were brought to Conner's
attention via colleague and friend, former
Disincarnate/Obituary/Death/Testament guitarist-turned-producer, James
Murphy, who took the band into the studio last year to co-produce and
mix ten songs.

"The DAATH song-writing team of Eyal Levi and his co-conspirator,
composer/lyricist Michael Kameron, are on top of their game," says
Murphy. "After completing the work on these songs, I knew I had
something innovative and genre-bending on my hands. These guys have
something extra, something special... not your run-of-the-mill death
metal formula, but something 'beyond' that transcends the norms for the
genre. I can't wait for the world to hear this band and hopefully feel
the same renewed enthusiasm for extreme metal as a true art form that I
now feel."

According to Kameron, "DAATH means 'hidden knowledge' in Hebrew and
represents the tragic struggle between the instincts and the intellect,
the doorway to the abyss of the unconscious mind." Adds Levi, "We
explore a vast array of emotional landscapes, at times aggressively
exhilarating and at others inwardly reflective." Continues Levi, "Since
the beginning we've believed that Roadrunner was the most appropriate
label for DAATH. They are the torch bearers for the metal world and we
are proud to be joining their family."

DAATH will re-enter the studio with Murphy in May to record five more
songs to round out the pool of tracks they will chose from to unleash as
their forthcoming Roadrunner debut album, "The Hinderers" - due out this
Fall. Besides the title track, some other songs set to appear include
"Festival Mass Soulform,"Ovum," "Above Lucium" and "Who Will Take The
Blame." Murphy makes a guest appearance on the album as well as former
Chimaira/Dying Fetus drummer, Kevin Talley, who tracked drums on two
songs.
