“Nuclear Blast has a special tradition for signing some of the best Metal acts of all time including Death, Dimmu Borgir, Testament, and Exodus just to name a few. We feel very lucky and honoured to be a part of the family! Our intention is to take the music to the next level and continue to release quality Progressive Death Metal. We are confident to have Nuclear Blast in our corner! We also want to thank Unique Leader Records very much for the years of dedication to Decrepit Birth.”
