Revoker sign to Roadrunner

Welsh metallers Revoker have signed to Roadrunner Records.

The four piece from Rhymney Valley will shortly begin work on their debut album for the label with Skindred frontman Benji Webbe at the helm.

"Believe it or not, in my entire career at Roadrunner, they are the first UK band I have signed," said Roadrunner A&R man Monte Conner who signed the likes of Slipknot, Machine Head and Type O Nagative in the past. "Revoker are one of the most ass-kicking unsigned bands I have heard in a long time and I am beyond proud to welcome them to the Roadrunner family."

"Getting signed to Roadrunner is amazing and almost surreal," says the band's 19-year old frontman Jamie Mathias. "I've grown up listening to bands like Megadeth, Slipknot, Machine Head, and Slash. So to be a part of the same label as them is nuts! I think Roadrunner is the perfect home for Revoker!"
