New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Noah �Shark� Robertson (Motograter, Ex-The Browning) has launched his new label, Zombie Shark Records, with the first signings being Montreal, Canada based nu-metal quartet, KEYCHAIN and Australian industrial, shock rock band, Darkc3ll.
Keychain recorded their debut EP, Breaking Out, with renowned producer, mixer, and engineer Glen Robinson (AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Gwar, Voivod, Annihilator, and Slaves on Dope). The recording was mastered by legend, Howie Weinberg, whose over 30 year career includes bands like Limp Bizkit, Sevendust, Deftones, Chevelle, and Disturbed. Breaking Out will be available, worldwide,
September 1.
Commented Robertson, �The instant I saw the music video for �Prime Time� I knew I had to work with Keychain. It slams! I just knew this band was going somewhere. They have soul and passion and an undeniable groove. All four members quit their jobs to do a North American Tour. I can respect that! That�s how you know these guys are beyond dedicated.�
"Let us introduce you to Keychain, quite possibly the modern day answer to Korn,
Limp Bizkit and Slipknot." - Damnation Magazine
"Through �Prime Time� the band effortlessly stitches together various genres to create a sound that is quick to capture and demand the listener�s attention. The song seems to resonate an upbeat and energy packed feel that will have the listener head banging along in no time!" - Livingthevanlife
"They don't seem to care what anyone thinks about nu-metal and just want to become the next
Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park. As far as I'm concerned, they can. They certainly know how to make a contagious piece of music in great nu-metal tradition." - Merchants of Air
