Sumerian Records Drop Capture The Crown Off Roster

October 30th, 2013

This may have been one of the better moves the label has made in recent months. Labels sign questionable bands all of the time, and one that stood out to me was when Sumerian signed Capture The Crown. The group did a good job catching people’s attention with their single, “You Call That A Knife? This Is A Knife!,” but their debut album was a flop. Earlier today Sumerian announced that they would be parting ways with said band, due to musical/creative differences. The label made a statement on the decision to drop Capture The Crown, and you can read that below the jump.

The band made their own statement on the separation as well, which you can also read below the jump.

Sumerian Records:

Weeks ago we announced we would be dropping a band. Everyone at Sumerian puts incredible amounts of time, energy and passion in to every band we work with and it’s important that as we continue to grow, we have that same fire burning for each artist on the roster. We are now ready to let you know that we will be parting ways with Capture The Crown due to musical/creative differences. We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

Capture The Crown:

We would like to thank Sumerian Records for everything they’ve helped us with over the span of our business relationship. In this time we were able to release our debut album, move to the US, tour with such great bands like Of Mice & Men, Every Time I Die, Chelsea Grin, Story of the Year & Volumes to name a few. Regardless of our current situation, the band is currently working on a brand new full length album which you will hear more about in the near future.

This may be the end of something good, but it’s also the start of something amazing!
