There has been considerable buzz around the latest signing to Sumerian Records, England's The HAARP Machine. Sumerian has been busy lately, scooping up bands like Periphery, Born of Osiris and Asking Alexandria, so the label's latest signing has piqued the interest of technical-progressive metal fans everywhere.

The band's debut album is expected to be released later this year.
