In a way. How did it get started and and how is it they apparently are doing something to get that many artists without releases? And don't say the stuff you normally say. I and many others want a different reason.

i mean, in a short way to put it - when the founder officially formed his band in 2010 he didnt want to ever be signed to a record label or have people "over him" so he could have the say in the band, and wanted complete creative control and whatnot, so thats prety much why he founded the label. and then a couple months after it was founded when there were enough funds to do so he started hiring some peopleand signing local bands. and actually yes,every single band on the label has music in some form, whther thatt be demo tapes or whatnot so yes we all know what every band on the label sounds like. and yes, the founder and everyone involved in the company realizes that it is much harder to do this way instead of just trying to get signed with a major label, but we are a renegade company, and the founder is different than other people. so far, id say since it was founded it is unbelievably successful for having little to start with, and the founder's band could easily get a multi-millino dolalr contract with a major label, but believe it or not the founder actually has turned down shit like that before, cause yes, the millions will come for the company soon enough. there is more to it than that but thats a brief synopsis. and as i said, if you knew the founder himself youd know that this plan is going to majorly succeed, because th founder is an exception among most. as far as why bands just take a chance and interest in signing with us, because the deals are great, i mean, there is more creative control here than any other company in music EVER, and also deals are worked in a very unorthodox and unique way, that works awesome. i couldnt just explain to you how they worked exactly because they vary deal to deal,they are individual deals and ive only seen the deals that that the vice president's band was offered, and my 2 bands, which are all great, so i canonly imagine that the others were good too. i mean, there is no politicking bs in the company, we see through things that most others do not. besides the great deals, bands sign because they are explained the advanced techniques of promotion that not very many people know that the founders knows how to do and the knowledge he has with how the business runs, i mean, he isnt just the founder of a band and label there are other businesses and projects and whatnot he owns. one thing the people who run the label have that other companies dont have - charisma. there are other reasons too, i could explain more specifics or questions if you want or have any. and again, only 3 bands have rejected an offer, and we have like 55 signed, so that shows you there is something special about the label. any questions or whatnot i can answer ?

also, we actually CARE about music. i mean, the founder has stumbled across some bands locally ad online he couldve talked to about a deal that would probably make us money, but we havent signed them because either they are generic or not the image we want on our label. We actualyl CARE about the MUSIC. we care about the money a lot too, but the MUSIC is the main reason were in this.

Ok that explains a lot. But what makes the founder's band so good? Can we find his music because I'm interested to listen. And we don't hate your label. We just hate rekkr but we will listen to their new stuff to see what it sounds like. Idk About everybody else but I don't say music sucks if I haven't tried to listen to it. You know what I mean?

rekkr doesnt define our label's sound, there are only like 5 death-thrash bands. we have many genres of metal and rock and a few other genres. as far as the fouder's band goes, i mean, there are 3 professionally recorded songs and demos of 7 more and it is one of those bands that will make a huge impact, im no tjust saying that, i mean there are ltos of great bands on the label but everyone who heard the stuff knows itll go far. what makes it good is the sound obviously, id say it mixes the classic and traditional metal sound with thrash,industrial,progressive,groove,some death,some black,some nu,some doom,some power,even some rap/funk metal and stoner metal,and even shades of jazz drumming mixed into metal and etc. it goes on. genre is undefineable. plus the lyrics have very great meanings and are some of the best lyrics anyone will ever read. and the image and look and art and info of the band as well. al of the ideas the founder has with it and whatnot. youll see why it is one of a kind when it comes out. their music isnt online yet, they are supposed to release debut cd in march or april but are releasing liek 3 singles in february.

^The thing is without selling your music digitally, it will be impossible to be the best record label in the world. And the best record label in the world will have all genres (pop, rock etc) because metal isnt the most popular genre in the world and it never will be
Rockfest-May 11
Warped Tour-July 23
Rob Zombie w/MH/AA/COB-August 5
Iron Maiden/Megadeth-September 7

Ok. Honestly that sounds like they will be a good band. But to say your guys are the best label is a little too far. But I am just glad you guys aren't the same style. But anyway point is ill check out the music and see what I think. And I messaged rekkr on Facebook and their album was suppose to be out the 1st. But they said it was technical difficulty it got pushed until the 16th.

@bengals, i never said we wont sell digitally. just not at first, we need fanbases first. we need people t oappreciate artwork and read the manuals, once everyone gets an idea, then the people who want cds get them and digitals get theirs, doesnt change the fact that digit downloading is jsut bs. but still, itunes most likely wont be the answer. @slipknotfan, yeah jones miller from rekkr said on his podcast that theres was some printing error with the covers

and also @bengals, we have mainly metal and rock and all their subgenres which are quite a few, we even have a few new musical genres. and also we have 2 gangsta rap artists, a grunge band, a blues band, 2 jazz bands, an avant-garde artist, and more. so yes we have a variety, and all the subgenres of metal are quite a lot too
