The ring Im inwards is a death/prog metallic ring alongside a ton of potential(and Im non similar every other indie ring that thinks that, I know it). But nosotros cant detect a dedicated drummer in addition to vocalist. So for at nowadays we're only writing until nosotros tin post away instruct the ball rolling. Anyways, I digress. Ill locomote looking forrad to a reply. Thank You from Trevm1991@aol.com Answer: Well the glib response is a performance band, dude. Your advert of "we can't detect a dedicated drummer in addition to vocalist" actually rules your ring out of the running immediately, but at to the lowest degree you lot are doing the correct matter past times non fifty-fifty troubling labels at the acquaint time, because without a band, you lot only aren't ready

Question: Hi Dig, My inquiry is a chip of a weird one, I was wondering what your sentiment on music 'breaking out of the underground' (so to speak is), as well as whether many hush-hush genres don't genuinely acquire a endangerment to properly flourish when they are pushed into the mainstream, which tin Pb them to 'die' One of the things that led me to this inquiry was reading some quondam posts on your spider web log from terminal year, yous spoke of the large novel ascent of 'deathcore' as well as how yous saw it beingness a large genre coming into the metallic scene, as well as spoke nearly signing Oceano etc, but this conflicts amongst the views of many fans of the genre who would tell truthful deathcore came merely about inwards nearly 2004-2005 as well as died only a few years later, amongst the scene forthwith beingness 'stale' amongst carbon copies everywhere, as well as I recollect though non solely truthful this is a real proficient betoken

Where I mentioned they were practiced plenty to live signed, together with certain plenty Century Media inked a bargain amongst TesseracT at the goal of lastly year. Fair play to them for spotting their undoubted talent together with giving them a chance. The glare of the spotlight on the Djent scene has unexpectedly given a huge boost to all those Progressive together with Experimental Metal bands who were toiling away for the by few years inward the shadows. Bands playing progressive metallic to a modest but highly appreciative audience - albeit to a greater extent than oftentimes than non via message boards together with meshing forums - tin await to come across a huge rising inward interest. Xerath Monuments: The Djent scene has every bit good been a boon for all the solo guitar improv players.

Posting on the famously anti-Music Biz site Techdirt has me incensed.

Free Mp3's for all, for ever, would live the final result together with music fans could rejoice at music finally existence released from the clutches of the evil, slow, dumb Record companies. Everybody wins. Or practise they?? Sure, undoubtedly GOOGLE's pockets are deep plenty to practise it. WARNERS is currently on the block together with inviting bids inwards the part of $3 Billion. EMI, SONY/BMG could live bought for roughly the same together with fifty-fifty the world's biggest Music Company UNIVERSAL could run for nether $20 Billion. The entire Major label Recording Industry (minus the 1000s of Indies), if it was for sale, would fetch maybe $30 Billion maximum. Google's ele

Question: Hey Dig, what's the flush behind Rival Sons? I mean, they're non precisely the commons Earache fare...Earache is predominantly an extreme music label too the exclusively thing extreme most Rival Sons is that they're extremely good; they're a 21st Century Zeppelin. And I don't think it is a bad thing that Earache is branching out into other, perhaps to a greater extent than accessible genres, which leads me to my minute question: the music biz. I know that this has been written most many times before, too on this really blog, but has the changing aspect upwardly of the music manufacture kinda necessitated that you lot accept on bands that, maybe, simply a few years ago, would non take away keep works life a house on your roster? I know Earache has ever had the odd "misfit" hither too there, but they could even thus live viewed every bit being, to some extent, extreme (Ultraviolence too Fudge Tunnel, for example) but Rival Sons are stadium s

Brian's ring DECEMBER WOLVES were signed to Wicked World/Earache from 97-2003 or so, releasing 2 albums. Both discs were undoubtedly part faves circular hither because of their full-on, blasting, twisted too think build of dark metal.
