Blackened blues project ME AND THAT MAN – founded in 2013 by BEHEMOTH frontman Adam Nergal Darski – has officially signed a worldwide contract with Napalm Records (excluding Poland).
ME AND THAT MAN released their debut album, Songs of Love and Death, in 2017 – introducing the world to their unique brand of folk and blues, mixed with hints of outlaw country. The atmospherically dark album provides a strong contrast to BEHEMOTH with its catchy melodies and relaxed rhythms, and gives Nergal space to express his creativity in a different setting. Since its release, the album’s lead single, “My Church is Black,” has racked up over 2.5 million streams on Spotify.
ME AND THAT MAN has big plans in store in the coming months.
Nergal comments on the signing: “It’s a pleasure to be working with a brand new team of people on a project which in many ways is brand new to me. We have some big surprises for you in the coming months so keep ‘em peeled. The record has been a lot of hard work; some blood, some tears but just wait and see, it was totally worth it!”
Sebastian Münch, A&R Napalm Records, adds: “As I’ve been a Johnny Cash fan for many years, Songs of Love and Death turned out to be like a memorial to the country music god himself! Nergal‘s creative and musical brilliance redefined an entire genre, and the album’s dark and sinister vibes were most certainly noticed in distant Nashville. Welcome, ME AND THAT MAN, to the Napalm family!”
