Claustrofobia Sign with M-Theory Audio and Announce North American Tour with Sepultura
‘Unleeched’ pre-order now available here
M-Theory Audio welcomes CLAUSTROFOBIA to their roster. The band originated in Brazil in the ‘90s but relocated to the states to further their cause a few years back. Check out the “Stronger Than Faith” music video now HERE from the trio’s anticipated full-length ‘Unleeched,’ in stores Sept. 13th.
"We are super excited to be joining the M-Theory Audio roster”, states singer/guitar Marcus D’Angelo. “Based on a love of music, we have nurtured a healthy relationship with their entire team over the past years and things just happened naturally and at the best time for the band. The fact that we are being taken care by a team with over 30 years of great reputation in the global Heavy Metal scene really makes us very happy and secure. Their commitment to their work and love for Metal converges at Claustrofobia's principles and we can’t wait to start this new era.”
Today, we launch the pre-order for ‘Unleeched’ on CD and limited-edition cassette (100 copies). Pre-order HERE
‘Unleeched’ was produced, mixed and mastered by Adair Daufembach (Angra, Cadaver, Tony MacAlpine) with cover artwork by Alcides Burn. The album which has been released in Brazil, as well as digitally, is now being made available domestically (and for the first-time on cassette).
“The first step in our partnership with M-Theory Audio will be the reissue of the album ‘Unleeched,’ including two bonus tracks – ‘Riff Cult’ and ‘Força além da Força’ which is a Portuguese version of Pantera's ‘Strength Beyond Strength,’” explains Marcus. “We composed and recorded this album during the pandemic, and all that atmosphere of uncertainty, fear and faith were crucial to finishing the work. For the first time we used clean vocals on a song, we brought Marc Rizzo [Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Ill Nino guitarist] as a guest player. This album is very brutal but there are lots of emotions on it. I consider it our most inspired album ever because the band was united and solid.
We are finishing a new video clip and we will release some studio report episodes of the recording session of this album that will show the essence of this album. We are about to start a North American tour in September/October alongside Sepultura, Obituary and Agnostic Front, and 90% of our set list will be from the album ‘Unleeched.’”
CLAUSTROFOBIA now stand poised on one of the biggest metal tours of the fall – Sepultura’s final US run including support from such genre heavyweights as Obituary and Agnostic Front.
