CERAFIM IS SIGNED TO PROGROCK RECORDS Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 17 March 2003 -- ProgRock Records is pleased to announce the January 10, 2003 official signing of CERAFIM www.cerafim.com as one of the the new record label's international recording artists. Originally formed in Toronto, Canada in 1986, the musical style of CERAFIM has been strongly influenced by the leading progressive rock artists of the 1970's and early 1980's with bands like Genesis, Yes, Saga, Marillion, Pink Floyd, Rush, Kansas, Toto and Dream Theater being listed among their favorite artists. Always known for avoiding trends and following their own plans, CERAFIM has survived the fads of today's pop music by playing creative, dynamic, conceptual pieces, accentuated by 'straight ahead' and complex arrangements. Their music is performed with honest passion and a high level of musicianship. "Ever since we started getting our music exposed on www.progrock.com we saw CERAFIM's web site hits start doubling and tripling month by month, we saw the mp3.com downloads triple and quadruple and three of our songs were sitting in the Top Ten request list on their internet station", says an enthusiastic Rick Kazmirchuk, keyboardist with the band. "At this point in our career, we have been re-generated by the recent success and acceptance of our music and as much as it is a surprise, we have always known that with the right type of exposure, our music would find its way into many people's hearts. Our music crosses over into progressive rock and melodic AOR formats." "Perseverance, optimism and the strong belief in our music plus the belief held by those that really matter in the music industry , has played a key role in prolonging and rejuvenating CERAFIM's musical career. CERAFIM had been encouraged with pockets of success scattered all over the world, until Jerry George, the original founder of www.progrock.com recognized the musical talent in the band and was instrumental in keeping our faith alive. Jerry believed in CERAFIM and for this we are forever grateful." continued Rick. Jerry George, A&R Director for ProgRock Records says "I've been a huge supporter of CERAFIM for years, I even tried to help get them on some other labels, it was just amazing to me that they weren't signed anywhere as everyone who has heard their music just loves them. When Shawn Gordon (President of ProgRock Records) and I first decided to do ProgRock Records, I told him we had to get CERAFIM, and lucky for us we were able to. It is with enormous pleasure that I am able to officially support this great band." CERAFIM has a number of albums available from their career with ProgRock Records carrying Sides of a Different Kind and Revelation immediately.
