In what seems to be an out of the blue pairing, Sumerian Records has just announced a partnership with Circa Survive. The label will be working with the band to release a deluxe reissue of their most recent album, Violent Waves. The reissue is set to hit stores September 9. The album, as you may know, was initially self-released by the band back in 2012.

The reissue will include a DVD with some behind the scenes footage of their performance at The Shrine this past winter. You can check out a short trailer for the DVD below the break.

It does not sound like the band is actually signing with Sumerian. They are utilizing their distribution capabilities to spread their product over a wider swath of fans than they may be able to on their own. You can read what Sumerian had to say about the partnership below as well.

Pre-orders for the album are available for purchase through Sumerian’s official website.
