With a career spanning 16 years and still going strong, Corvus Corax has finally selected a US label. We are happy to announce that Dancing Ferret Discs, through our Noir sublabel, will release a "Best Of" collection from Corvus Corax on April 19, 2005.

We are very pleased to announce that Carfax Abbey has become the very first Philadelphia band signed to our label. The band is currently in the studio working on their third album, which will see worldwide release on Dancing Ferret Discs.

After over a decade of shaking up the German electronic/industrial scene, Absurd Minds has finally signed with an American label. Dancing Ferret Discs is pleased to be selected by the band as their home in the US. Absurd Minds will increase their presence on US club playlists in April with a US edition of their very successful album “The Focus,” which will contain 3 bonus remixes not on the import version. The band will follow up with a brand new album in June. Absurd Minds has a sound that sits squarely in the middle of synthpop and EBM. They’re not smooth and over-produced like some synthpop, but neither are they harsh or stompy like some EBM. Instead, they take the best elements of both genres and add very distinctive Euro-accented male vocals to the mix.

Grammy Nominated Paul Van Dyk and Peter Heppner (of Wolfsheim) contributed a new track unreleased in the US to an exclusive Hot Topic sampler that also featured many of our bands, along with Skinny Puppy, Collide, Tapping The Vein and others. The sampler retails for $4.99 and can now be found right at the front counter of all Hot Topic stores. Read about it.
