New York City's Black Anvil have signed to Relapse Records. The band commented on the deal on their myspace page:

It may seem like an odd combination to some, but we look at it as a good fit. They're there to do what they do, and we are here to do what we do. We have respect for them as people, and as a label & their approach was more than enough to sway us to their corner. We function on trust & connections with beings outside of the band itself.

The label will begin by reissuing the band's debut, Time Insults The Mind this fall and a new full length on the label will follow soon after. Check out some music on their myspace page.
