We’re extremely pleased to announce that gloriously heavy Somerset alternative rockers ANIIMALIA are the winners of The Deal!

Launched last month, over 1,000 acts entered The Deal competition before the final 25 were whittled down for the public vote.

A final shortlist of bands went before a panel of judges from Kerrang! Radio, Marshall Records and Download Festival plus esteemed producer Romesh Dodangoda (Motörhead, Bring Me The Horizon).

ANIIMALIA emerged victorious and they have now secured a coveted record deal with Marshall Records, and they’ll record a five-track EP at Marshall's brand new studios with Romesh Dodangoda at the helm.

The prize also includes international marketing and promotion through Marshall Records and a video and promo photoshoot.

ANIIMALIA will also open The Avalanche Stage at Download Festival this June and they will receive on air plays and a takeover on Kerrang! Radio.

Steve Tannett from Marshall Records comments: “We are so pleased for ANIIMALIA having being selected by such a prestigious panel of judges.

“The Deal has been an amazing opportunity for artists and we are grateful to Kerrang! Radio for showcasing so many talented musicians, and to the listeners for voting for them.”

Romesh Dodangoda says: “I’m very pleased for ANIIMALIA and I’m really looking forward to working with them in the studio and helping them bring out the best in their music!

“The whole prize from Marshall, Kerrang and Download is such a great opportunity to help support them as a new artist and I look forward to watching their journey and seeing them grow as a band!”

Congratulations to ANIIMALIA!
