GB metal chart-toppers Threat Signal ink deal with Nuclear Blast

Two years ago, Ontario metal masters Threat Signal posted a demo of their single "Rational Eyes" to GarageBand.com. They must have been on to something, because within weeks the song shot to #1 on the GB metal charts. To this day it remains #1.


That sort of stranglehold on the GB charts can't be ignored by the industry -- a serious industry buzz started to build. Threat Signal flew to Los Angeles to record their debut album with producer and Fear Factory bass player Christian Olde Wolbers, and signed with one of the biggest names in metal: Nuclear Blast.


"At first we were in disbelief!", said guitarist Rich Howard. "After a few e-mails, it became clear it was the real deal. We posted a few songs on Garageband.com and all of the sudden we have one of the top metal labels in the world contacting us, it was unbelievable."


Nuclear Blast label assistant Mike Ruiz added, "The band had all the qualities that make a great band even when they were still a demo band. GarageBand.com is a place where we look at bands on a regular basis... It's what gets bands discovered and keeps the music strong and well!"
