American metal stalwarts SOLACE have signed a multi-album contract with Magnetic Eye Records. The five-piece originally from Asbury Park, New Jersey will issue an expanded edition of their debut album „Further“ in celebration of its 25th anniversary this summer, along with their upcoming fifth full-length also via the label in the last quarter of 2025.
SOLACE comment: „Solace are happy to announce our signing to Magnetic Eye Records, a label we respect and more importantly who respects us“, guitarist Justin Daniels writes on behalf of the band. „We’re looking forward to an awesome partnership that lets us get more of our dirt metal out to the world.“
Daniels continues: „This announcement is bittersweet in coming just a week after the passing of our original singer Jason. If nothing else, Solace perseveres as long as we can lift guitars and switch on amps. We move through sadness and look forward to honoring Jason’s legacy and our own with this newest chapter of the band.“
Jadd Shickler adds: „I had the privilege to sign Solace in 1999“, the Magnetic Eye director adds. „They were the best band my first label ever signed, and they still are. Through different incarnations and numerous line-ups, I’ve dedicated countless years to making sure as many people as possible saw and heard their greatness, and I’m more than ready for Magnetic Eye Records to ram Solace’s music down throats for countless more years to come.“
