Abacus Recordings has officially ceased to exist. Portions of the one-time Century Media Records imprint will now be folded back into Century Media.
Launched in 2002, the label was originally headed by Century Media co-owner Robert Kampf. Roughly two years ago Abacus and Century Media split, with
Kampf choosing to relinquish his portion of ownership. Details regarding the latest arrangement between the two entities are scant, but it appears
that certain Abacus bands will now be brought over to the Century Media roster. In recent years Abacus has released material by Sick Of It All, Ion
Dissonance, and Sworn Enemy, among many others.

Damn. the recording industry is rediculous. I hope this doesn't fuck SOIA or even RIGHTEOUS JAMS.

PLus I think SWORN ENEMY was to release a new record very shortly right?

So Ignite, RJ, Sworn Enemy and SOIA are all on Century Media now????
Discipline - 7-25-2007 at 03:29 PM
Sounds like it.

That was quick.
And yeah, Sworn Enemy has a new album in the can. They're on Century Media for the rest of the world if I remember right so if Century Media absorbs
the roster the changeover shouldn't be too drastic.

i wasn't aware of the CM/Abacus split a while back.
either way, that company spent some money.

Hell ya. They had posters for IGNITE and SWORN ENEMY at a many shows, clubs, and record stores. Much mroe than you would ever see from them before. I
thought this label was going to be the IT label from the releases but hey whatever.

Talked to Lou from SOIA last night, he told me SOIA and IGNITE will be on Cent. Media now, he wasnt sure about the other bands.

from what i've heard, everything is being absorbed by CM.
