Re: Ask me about making songs, lps, whatever You mentioned Bathory as an influence for the new album - what are your favourite Bathory songs?

Re: Ask me about making songs, lps, whatever how often do you get outside feedback/from who, how do you keep it "under wraps" before making a meaningfull distrobution?

Feedback about what? The lp? I usually show it to my friends, seeing how i only have one in real life now, i only show her. I don't rely on feedback, I trust myself to make things right, i don't listen to people when i do things, i only listen to me. I never share it online to people before it is released. I only send it to the label and the mastering people when its done, if it leaks its their fault never mine.

Re: Ask me about making songs, lps, whatever I've always wondered, what does being signed really get you? I know they advertise your band out etc etc but do you get like a weekly paycheck as well? Do they handle all the album printing and how many they need to print and how to distribute them? Or is it literally just having a company promote your band name.
I've heard of some musicians start their own label as well, it seems like it's the way to go in terms of money but, once again, what does a musician really get out of a label.

Yeah they do all the printing, booklets and cd manufacturing, they advertise and get me into store shelves the small labels could never do. Starting your own label, i did that with edt, and we could not match metropolis so i went with metropolis and quit edt. I get advances on my lps, this shows they believe in me. I get t shirts, i get tour support. But only because i sell a decent amount of records and have a fan base and made some hits.
