Earache Records - Signs U.S. Distribution Deal With ADA/Warner


In label news, U.K. independent label Earache Records has teamed up with ADA/Warner in the USA for a new distribution and services deal, to make its catalog available again physically on CD and vinyl LP from May 5th. The partnership is due to come into effect with the June 10th arrival of Rival Sons' new album Hollow Bones to officially herald the new deal.

Founded over 25 years ago in Nottingham, England, Earache launched the early extreme metal movement in the 1990s with bands such as Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass and others.

Earache USA label manager Al Dawson comments: "We at Earache are beyond excited to partner with ADA for the USA. This is a next level, game-changing step in the company's evolution within today's rapidly-changing music business. Our ADA team has so much talent it's awe-inspiring. Look forward to us building careers for many more new and mind-blowing artists."

ADA, the independent distribution and services arm of Warner Music Group (WMG), has also recently announced a global partnership with the indie label Deathwish, Inc.

Earache Records has previously sued Century Media claiming that the U.S. distributor owed it $250,000 in licensing fees, and broke a promise to release a catalog of hundreds of albums.

Earache sucks ! A rotten name, one of the most overrated money-minded labels in metal industry.
Basically no band is willing to join them and no store is willing to sell their products anymore that's why they need to find a new boss (to screw them from) behind.
