NAPALM Records Signs BRANT BJORK - Whaaaaaatttt?????

Brant Bjork: "Es freut mich sehr, dass ab sofort Napalm Records mir in meiner Arbeit in der Rock-N-Roll Welt hilfreich zur Seite stehen werden. Viele Dank an alle, die mich all die Jahre in meiner Unabhängigkeit begleiten haben. Euer Support hat mir direkt und indirekt geholfen, diese neue Chance zu ergreifen. Danke auch an Napalm, dass sie den Mut und das Wissen aufbringen, mit einem Künstler wie mir zu arbeiten...und vor allem...vielen Dank an alle, die meine Shows besucht und meine Platten gekauft haben! Ihr alle seid der Grundstein für meine musikalische Reise. Vielen Dank!

We are guessing that translates to:

The grand master of rock signed a worldwide recording deal with Napalm Records and the new overdose of riffs and grooves will be ready in 2011! Brant Bjork: "I am pleased to announce that I have joined the good people at Napalm Records for assistance in my contribution to the world of rock-n-roll. Thank you to all who have been with me through out my years of independence. Your direct and indirect support has lead me to this new opportunity. Thanks to Napalm for having the courage and insight to work with an artist such as myself...And most of all, thanks to all those who have attended my shows and purchased my recordings. You all are the cornerstone of my musical journey. Thank You."

Not sure what is it with the folks of Napalm Records –maybe they realized that you can only live so many years after consuming so much cheese - but now we welcome the news that they just signed Brant Bjork. Kinda. Bjork, as many shall know, was the drummer for Kyuss, Fu Manchu and others and has sloooooowly established himself as a solo artist. Along with Monster Magnet, Bjork stands out in the label’s roster as one of the few artists who don’t have a gothic chick at the mike singing in falsettos about fairies and elves. Good for him! At least he is in hot company.
