Kampf was further quoted on his new label: "Twenty five years after starting Century Media the excitement to do another version of the label could not be any larger. My undying love for rock has driven the formation of this label ANOTHER CENTURY. Over the years great bands like Otherwise and In This Moment have been released on Century Media but sometimes got lost or felt ill mixed among some of the heavier CM bands. Another Century now has a clear path and mission statement: To develop and break the best bands in rock to come!”<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metalsucks.net/2015/03/04/exclusive-century-media-founder-robert-kampf-talks-about-major-label-acquisition-rumors-and-companys-future/|title=Exclusive: Century Media Founder Robert Kampf Talks About Major Label Acquisition Rumors and Company's Future|date=4 March 2015|publisher=[[MetalSucks]]|accessdate=1 July 2016}}</ref>
