Greek black metal rising stars Corax B.M have signed with The Circle Music for the release of their debut album “Pagana”. Scheduled for October 2023, the debut full-length will come in various physical and digital formats.

The band commented: “We are thrilled and honoured about our new contract with The Circle Music for our full-length album "Pagana". Communication is the most important issue for us and from the first minute of our discussions with the label, we felt that our new album will be in good hands.”

The Circle Music added: “When we heard the first two songs ("Mythos" and "Zophos") from their upcoming album, we immediately knew we had to work together. Their sound could best be characterised as a combination of black metal that owes a lot to the early Rotting Christ and Necromantia sound along with thrash metal influences that parade in many parts of their music. The Greek verse gives its own distinct moment.”

“Pagana” follows on from the release of the “Spread the Occult” EP which saw the light of day in May 2022 via Poland’s Pagan Records and featured The Magus (Necromantia, Yoth Iria etc.) on guest vocals on the song “Anilliagos”. Hailing from Athens, Greece, the band started as a side project by Kostas “Corax” Katoikos (Blossom Death, Anachrist, In Burial, ex-Sorrowful Angels) who collaborated with drummer Morker (Yiannis Chariskos) and vocalist Énnea (Marita Makaronidi) for her use of “whisper vocals”. Later, they were joined by bassist Peisithanatos (Thanos Nanopoulos) and the project inevitably became a solid band.

Shortly after joining Pagan Records’ roster, the project started performing live. The first live appearance was in April of 2022 at Remedy live stage (Athens). Later in September 2022 they appeared during the opening day of Golden R Festival in Volos, in October 2022, then at Storming The Gates Festival in Athens and in February 2023 at Blackended Horizons with more shows scheduled for 2023.
