Sony Music has entered into an exclusive, worldwide agreement with Daron Malakian ,to  market, promote and distribute EatUrMusic, Malakian's new label,

Daron's first signing to EatUrMusic Would be the punk-metal rock group Amen

We're very excited about working with Daron in establishing EatUrMusic as a credible artistic force in today's music scene," said Will Botwin, President, Columbia Records Group. "This new imprint promises to become a home for artists who are both passionate in their vision and uncompromising in the integrity of their music."

"I honestly feel that if you're going to sign an artist," commented Malakian, "the most important thing is that you've really got to be like o­ne of those kids in their audience. [The Sony people] and I agreed that I will o­nly sign and work with those artists that I'm a fan of."  

Daron's first signing to EatUrMusic is the punk-metal rock group Amen, fronted by Casey Chaos. Malakian is producing the CD with Chaos, Mike Frasier (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Metallica) is mixing, and the album is due out later this year. Huge in the UK for the past several years, Amen recently sold out their entire UK tour three weeks before they set foot o­n English soil, despite the fact they hadn't released a new CD there in nearly two years. In addition, the group was the o­nly unsigned act to play the Main Stage at last year's Reading Festival. Amen has been a fixture o­n the UK media's "Best" lists. Metal Hammer named the band's 2000 album "We Have Come for Your Parents" o­ne of the Top 100 Greatest Albums of All Time, and Kerrang!'s Readers Poll pegged the band as the #1 Best Unsigned Band earlier this year. The NME called Amen "one of the most exciting bands to grace these shores since Nirvana," and even Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols commented that Amen was "far more pissed off than the Pistols ever were."  Head Over and take a look  <A href="http://www.eaturmusic.com/" target=_blank>http://www.eaturmusic.com/
