Transmission0 US Release Date Set

Philadelphia: Go Kart Records today confirms August 24 as the US release
date for the debut album from Netherland-based aggressive metal/hardcore band
Transmission0. Simply titled 0 (Zero), it is the band's first introduction to
stateside audiences as previously related projects and recordings have been
primarily unavailable for most US music listeners.

An impressive recording that is expected to firmly launch the band's US
profile, 0 was completely created (recorded/mixed) at the band's own Behind Green
Door Studios in Tilburg, The Netherlands with guitarist Mischa van Rodijnen
serving as both album producer and mixer. "At first it didn't look as if we
would ever really start this band," says bassist Dave van Beek of the album and
the band's early formation. "After the break up of our former band (Reveal),
Mischa and I decided we wanted to start a dark, heavy and atmospheric band. And
it took us three years to get everything to our liking in place."

Originally planning to work with small European indie Garden of Exile
Records, Transmission0 switched paths earlier this year when recordings by the band
were received by long-respected US label, Go Kart Records. More known for punk
rock, in which the label is home to The Meatmen, Buzzcocks, G.B.H.,
Lunachicks, Ten Foot Pole and the recent reissue of Pigmy Love Circus (featuring Tool
drummer Danny Carey), the two agreed to align together. Three months of work
would find 0 completed and ready for the worldwide stage.

"I cannot express really how happy I am with the result, especially
considering we have done it all on our own." says van Beek. "We didn't have a producer
or really expensive studio equipment. It was just us and the stuff we had at
that moment. We are really proud of this album."

To first time listeners, Transmission0 is best likened to a mix of Isis,
Neurosis, Mastodon and Cave-In. The band seemlessly steers from the highly
charged and fast album opener "Journey" and "San Miguel" to the somber and hypnotic
"U-Boot." Their musical ying and yang finds comfort in the mixing of
opposites - once passive then chaotic.

Completed by keyboardist Michiel van de Avoird, drummer Bart Waalen and
guitarist Leon de Goot, Transmission0 have crafted an impressive first recording.
Track listing for 0 is confirmed as: Journey, vs Vampire, San Miguel, **, The
Return, U-boot, Dust Like Sand, Ether, Serenity, ***.

Go Kart Records is distributed exclusively in the US and Canada by Koch
Entertainment and Plastichead Music Distribution for all European territories.
