Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) has completed its acquisition of the existing Tooth & Nail music catalog, which includes Tooth & Nail Records, BEC Recordings and Solid State Records.

The acquisition excludes the catalogs of artists Demon Hunter, August Burns Red and the latest recordings by Love and Death and the Supertones. Tooth & Nail founder and co-owner Brandon Ebel, who retained rights to all label names and trademarks with the acquisition, will relaunch Tooth & Nail as an independent label group, with forthcoming releases planned from August Burns Red, The Almost, Demon Hunter, Emery, Icon For Hire, Nine Lashes, Living Sacrifice and All Things New, among others.

"It's been my privilege to work alongside Brandon Ebel for the last 12 years," said CCMG President and CEO Bill Hearn. "He's a great record man and has developed some of our industry's best artists and music. Together, we have built a strong catalog, which CCMG will continue to develop and grow. I wish Brandon continued success as he re-establishes himself as one of the leaders in the independent music community."

Ebel said Tooth & Nail/BEC Recordings has had a "very successful" partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group, formerly known as EMI CMG Music Group until it was rebranded recently.

"We are confident that our artists' back catalogs will be well served under CCMG," Ebel said. "Moving forward, we are excited to continue developing our artists on Tooth & Nail Records, Solid State Records and BEC Recordings."

Details of release dates and distribution for the relaunched Tooth & Nail label will be announced soon. During the transition period, Capitol Christian Music Distribution will continue to distribute all Tooth & Nail products. BEC Recordings' award-winning artist Jeremy Camp's catalog, including the recently released Reckless, will now be promoted by CCMG.
