In a unique contest in collaboration with Nuclear Blast and MySpace, unsigned metal bands from around the world will have the opportunity to win a contract with one of the world’s leading labels for heavy music.

Interested bands should submit a MySpace band page link (make sure your band page has a biography and band picture) here. Your songs will then be listened to and judged by an international team of Nuclear Blast representatives.

Rules:
Band must be unsigned
Band should play metal
Absolutely no cover bands

The contest will run from May 5, 2008 to October 1, 2008. At the end of the contest, Nuclear Blast Records will select 10 finalists. Nuclear Blast will contact these bands, and then the grand prizewinner will be announced and will receive a worldwide record deal with the label. Runners-up will win a download contract (your band's songs will be available for sale) at the Nuclear Blast Music Shop, the MP3 purchase platform of Nuclear Blast. In addition, your band will receive a touring support slot for a Nuclear Blast band.
