Sleaszy Rider is considered the "number one" underground label in Greece, featuring bands like Ancient, Satarial, Imagika, On Thorns I Lay, and others on its cast.

Tolis G.Palantzas, manager of Sleaszy Rider, comments [spelling is all his]: "One of the most exciting things in the music business is to dicover some great, but unknown bands, it's like finding some hidden jewels...And listening for first time to this- unknown for me till then- band Of The Archaengel, it was a huge surprise. These Brasilian dark metallers are a great band. They can mix so nice and smart many metal genres with gothic elements and compose some really great atmopsheres! The band's vision to make some steps forward to the metal scene, the great communication with us and their whole attitude, did it easier for us, to sign them in our label.

Having a really good band like Of The Archaengel in our roster makes our work more exciting and I hope that all the metal fans around the world will be at least so much enthousiastic as we are!

After Sepultura and Angra, the next best band from Brazil is sure Of The Archaengel!"

Alex Rodrigues, vocalist and former member adds: "Because to the difficult situation of the musical market due to piracy and illegal downloads I confess that we were worried about the destiny of our album, even with the great response which we received from press in Brazil and other countries which constantly said that we had uniqueness and quality enough to build a promising career. So, receiving the oportunity to sign this deal even with all these problems, release it with good conditions and promotion project makes this victory even bigger for us and we couldn't more satisfied. We are in a good moment."

When waiting for the album's release, Of The Archaengel posted their whole promo cd "The Dante's Children Extravagance: Chapter Alpha" which can be downloaded at www.myspace.com/ofthearchaengel
