Knife Fight Media during the last 6 years on a number of SPV releases, and
Max Vaccaro from Edel is doing a terrific job signing true metal and rock legends to earMusic. Our synergetic team work will make Gamma Ray, Uriah Heep and future albums released under this new deal a great success!"
Max Vaccaro, Director of earMUSIC adds, "After only one year, our label earMUSIC became a true force for rock music in Europe thanks to the success of artists like Chickenfoot, Foreigner, Deep Purple and many others.
We're very excited about the US release of the new Uriah Heep Greatest Hits album Celebration and Gamma Ray's new album To The Metal! in collaboration with DisManic and
Knife Fight Media; we're sure that these titles will be only the first of a long series of successes in the USA for our label".
