You can stream the album preview here

The whole band together stated :
“We are happy to announce that Agharti has signed a deal with WormHoleDeath and that soon our full length album titled ‘CHANGE’ will be out worldwide. Working with WormHoleDeath was great – we clicked well from the very beginning and we know that together we will make great things. We’re very thankful for all the advice they gave us in the process of making the album and we can only hope for this cooperation to last because we have a lot more to give, share and create.”

A&R “Worm” stated: “Agharti are the typical band that every label dreams. We first met in Austria and they seemed to be so professional, humble and nice. Their songs were already well written and sounded great but they were also so eager to work with us on their music as they knew that they couldn’t be critical like us. For that reason me and Jonathan decided to invest in them and went to Zagreb to work in their practice room. We understood each other perfectly and they listened to everything we had to say, it has been great. We also cooperated closely on the choices to take for their final sound, image, cover, pictures and the result is under the light of the sun, just check it out. I am sure that you all will hear a lot about them since this is just the beginning of their career. Support this band, Agharti really deserve your attention.”

The Way Of Purity announced important cooperations for the new album, singer Marja Panic stated: ” We started writing our new album with our russian friend Stielas Storhett and our producer Jonathan Mazzeo … After this quite big work we felt that we wanted to give the final emotional touch with massive and continuous orchestrations so we asked Marianna Alfieri, known for being guitar player on Kirlian Camera, to work with us at that stage. She made such intense, passionate and incredibly tragical compositions to enhance our ideas. Now we are ready to fly to Romania to produce the vocals with Ageru Pamantului, former singer in Negura Bunget. After this last process we will enter Realsound and mathlab Studios in Italy to record the whole project. We still have to ask Christian Donaldson if he wants to mix this album but we have time during the tour, I am quite sure that we will be able to work with him again.”

Italian Visionary Sludge Rockers Void Of Sleep have not only just finished work on their debut album, they have also inked their first contract with  Aural Music Group.
The band has been formed in 2010 and their music is a blend of sludge, psychedelic, stoner and progressive sound where epic rhythms melt with doom slowdowns, complex time signatures and “musical storms”.
After a first Self-Produced EP in 2011, the four hit again the Studio73 during the summer of 2012 to record the first full-length called “Tales between Reality and Madness” scheduled to hit stores in January 2013 through Aural Music.
VOID OF SLEEP frontman Burdo had this to say about the new contract:

“Ladies and Gents, Void of Sleep  are proud to announce that they had officially signed with Aural Music their first worldwide deal. The band, in the behalf of Burdo, Gale, Paso and Allo are absolutely on fire and they’re ready to spread the riff all over the world with the upcoming release of their first full length album in early 2013.”
