Local Aussie label, UNFD, have announced that they are partnering with US label, Rise Records.
This new merging will finally see the North American releases of music from Northlane, In Hearts Wake, Hand Of Mercy, Stories, Bodyjar and Hellions. This is exclusive to the UNFD artists only however. The back catalogues from other UNFD artists, such as The Amity Affliction, Dream On Dreamer and Deez Nuts, are also set to be released as part of this merger.
The deal has reportedly been about 18 months in the making now. UNFD's manager Luke Logemann had this to say on the merging.
"Our artists (Northlane and In Hearts Wake, in particular) are expanding in to the territory and are already selling records and merchandise in North America. The demand for our artists grew, and it became time for us to expand our reach over there, and make that small foothold into something much larger."
The deal will be official from the 28th of October on wards, with planned repackaged versions of Northlane's 'Discoveries' (2011) and last year's chart topper, 'Singularity', to be released as well.
