Ferret has signed the NYHC band Full Blown Chaos, and will release their new album "Heavy Lies The Crown" this fall. Here's the press release:

Ferret Music is excited to announce the signing of New York hardcore heroes, Full Blown Chaos to their roster. The band will be releasing their next full length titled Heavy Lies The Crown this August on the label. Speaking on the signing vocalist Ray Mazzola says of Ferret “We spoke to a lot of labels and a lot of big players made offers but no band on Ferret we’ve known has had bad dealings or picked up and left on bad terms, there’s a lot to say about that. We needed a label that is going to work as hard as us, you can only go so far if your team doesn’t put as much into your band as you do and we feel we have that with Ferret.”

The band made up of Mazzola, Mike Facci (guitar), Jeff Facci (drums) and Mike “Lurk” Ruehle (bass) released two successful albums in the last few years Wake the Demons (2004) and Within the Grasp of Titans (2006). Known for their savage attack of hardcore fury with the amplification of metal and sludge influences the band has become a live draw earning their stripes on the road for long stretches including a memorable summer on Ozzfest. Speaking on the new album which was produced by the band with Billy Grazadei of Biohazard “A lot of bands come out every album and say that their new endeavor is their best work but I can honestly say Heavy Lies The Crown is the best record we've done up to now. It’s Full Blown Chaos channeling a lot of our influences but not adapting to that style, more utilizing those influences in our songs.” Telling fans that this is a aggression to the hilt, no punches pulled album, Mazzola warns “This is the sound of us getting ready for war; Our last album was very encouraging with many positive overtones. I'm still a positive person but we've gone through so many challenges and battles with friends, family, significant others and people we know since we've become a full time band that all of those negative experiences ended up fueling our music further. Like I always tell those closest to us, if you fuck with someone in this band you're gonna end up with a song about you."
