THE NARRATOR states: “Signing with Nuclear Blast marks a true milestone for us. Throughout our journey, it’s always been important to work with partners who understand and support our vision.

Marcus Hammer, Managing Director for Nuclear Blast Records comments:
“Witnessing The Narrator’s steady growth whilst distributing their music via our in-house BloodBlast offering over the last couple of years has been a real joy.
So, it gives me great pleasure to welcome the band on to a full label deal here at Nuclear Blast, where we can build the team around them and continue to grow their success internationally. Here’s to the future!”

Nuclear Blast Records A&R Manager Leoni Dowidat comments:
“We are super happy and proud to welcome The Narrator into the Nuclear Blast family. Despite a still young band history, The Narrator have established themselves as one of the most exciting players in modern metalcore. We can’t wait to be a part of the next bright chapter in their career!”

THE NARRATOR were founded in 2017 in the Ruhr area of Germany and have been captivating audiences with their energetic songwriting and electrifying live performances from the very beginning. After successful tours and festival appearances, THE NARRATOR steadily made a name for themselves in the German metalcore scene.

In September 2024, THE NARRATOR released their highly anticipated debut album Lore – 10 tracks that speak volumes, boasting an impressive 10 million streams on DSPs. Their latest single, ‘Unbind Me‘, mastered by Ted Jensen (STERLING SOUND – BRING ME THE HORIZON, GREEN DAY, KORN, and many more), and accompanied by a striking music video directed by Daniel Prieß, proves once again that THE NARRATOR are a must-have on every playlist. One thing is certain: the best is yet to come!
