REGAIN RECORS signs to Koch for exclusice North American distro

KOCH SIGNS EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH
REGAIN RECORDS, LEADING METAL LABEL

KOCH Entertainment Distribution is pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Regain Records and Entertainment, LLC.  Under this deal, KOCH will be the exclusive distributor for this leading Metal label in North America.

Based in the Malmo, Sweden, Regain Records started in 1997 from the ashes of former label Wrong Again Records (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars and Naglfar). Regain Records was launched in 1997 with two releases, Deranged “High on Blood” and Embraced “Amorous Anathema”. The first two years were quite hard for the label, as it was lacking proper distribution. Things started moving forward for the label with the re-release of the first two In Flames albums “Lunar Strain” and “Subterranean”.

In the last couple of years Regain Records evolved to a very dynamic label in Europe with names like Danzig, Samael, Marduk, Dark Funeral, Behemoth, Overkill among others as well as a back catalog consisting of strong names like In Flames and Arch Enemy. Regain Records goal is to grow and establish its name more while always supporting the scene and trying hard to release quality instead of quantity. Key current artists include - Gorgoroth, Vader, Dark Funeral, Lord Belial, Behemoth, Marduk, In Flames and Arch Enemy.

Forthcoming key releases via KOCH include Arch Enemy’s debut release “Black Earth”, which has never before been officially released in North America, Marduk “ROM 5:12″, Gorgoroth “True Norwegian Black Metal”, Dark Funeral - new studio TBD, and Behemoth - new studio and new double DVD TBD.

“For ten years Regain Records have been licensing our catalog rights to various labels for the North American territory, so we are very happy to finally have an office in the states and to be part of the KOCH roster of labels. We feel that we have some of the premiere Metal acts of their genre and look forward to marketing them under the Regain name,” comments Dennis Clapp, Managing Director of Regain Records and Entertainment, LLC.

Michael Rosenberg, President of KOCH Entertainment Distribution adds, “We’re very pleased to welcome Regain Records to our family of distributed labels.  Regain’s roster of high-profile Metal artists and catalog strengthens our presence in this genre.”

KOCH Entertainment is the leading and fastest-growing independent music and video company in the U.S. and its operations encompass record and video labels as well as physical and digital distribution companies in the U.S. and Canada. KOCH Entertainment is the market leader among independents in both the U.S. and Canada and its record labels had the largest number of Billboard charting albums among independents in 2005/2

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS ANNOUNCE FIRST SHOW SINCE 2000

 THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

ANNOUNCE FIRST SHOW SINCE 2000

AT THE HISTORIC GRAND REX IN PARIS;

BAND TO UNVEIL SONGS FROM UPCOMING ALBUM ‘ZEITGEIST’

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS are excited to announce their first live performance since December 2, 2000—a very special and intimate theatre show to take place May 22 in Paris, France at the historic and elegantly appointed Grand Rex.  Tickets will go on sale April 11.

This marks the first time The Smashing Pumpkins will unveil songs from the upcoming ZEITGEIST (Martha’s Music/Reprise), their sixth album and first of new material since 2000’s Machina/The Machines of God and the free, digital-only release Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music.  ZEITGEIST was produced by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, with Roy Thomas Baker and Terry Date working separately on various tracks, and represents the culmination of two years of work.

After the Paris show, The Smashing Pumpkins will headline major European festivals from May 28 at Holland’s Pinkpop festival through June 17 at Switzerland’s Greenfield Festival, returning to England August 24 (Leeds Festival) and August 26 (Reading Festival).  Stay tuned for more information about North American tour dates beyond the V Festivals confirmed in Washington, DC (August 5) and Toronto, ONT (September 8).

The Smashing Pumpkins have created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in music history.  Formed in Chicago in 1988, they released Gish, their influential (and platinum) debut in 1991, which was followed by more platinum and multi-platinum albums including the nine-times platinum Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and the four-times platinum Siamese Dream.  The pivotal group’s many hits include “Disarm,” “Today,” “Cherub Rock,” “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight” and “Bullet With Butterfly Wings”–songs that defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation.
