In an ever-changing and volatile music industry, it remains a constant challenge for new bands to break out and make a name for themselves on their own. However, one quartet from Los Angeles that simply refuses to let the state of the industry deter them is OPIATE FOR THE MASSES, whose undying, unparalleled work ethic and captivating live performances ultimately caught the attention of Century Media Records. The label has never seen anything quite like OPIATE FOR THE MASSES, whose sheer collective talents and hunger to succeed is refreshing to find in this day and age. Century Media quickly signed the band to a worldwide deal and are beyond ecstatic to bring something this innovative to the forefront of the scene.

The group's talents and determination are also well respected by their peers.

CHESTER BENNINGTON (Linkin Park) states: "OPIATE FOR THE MASSES...I think they'e going to be big."

SYNYSTER GATES (Avenged Sevenfold) agrees: "This is the band to look out for in 2008. They are a great rock band with an edge, and certainly a must see live. They will f*ck you up."

JOEY JORDISON (Slipknot) further comments: "OPIATE FOR THE MASSES is nothing short of hypnotic. Tracks such as "21st Century Time Bomb," and the somber lull of "The Habit,"; make this new album a must have for fans of industrial, goth, metal and new wave."
