Woo! Sounds like good news to me  And what is it with Transmission Records? Are they out of business?

I always worry when a band on a label like Nuclear Blast start going on about the 'heaviness' of their upcoming music...still, good luck to them, although I don't listen to 'em much more any more.

Another band talk about how they're going to be heavier. Heavy doesn't necessarily equate to good but I guess that's what a portion of metalheads love. Good signing choice though. Hopefully it will be fruitful for them.

When they say heavy, they usually mean the production. And that's really good. If the production is to light it's often bad. Good choice of label btw

You know what this means, its downhill for Epica. Just like Dimmu, In Flames, and Nightwish.

Best of luck to Epica, nice record label to sign with. Daru Jericho:" Another band talk about how they're going to be heavier. Heavy doesn't necessarily equate to good but I guess that's what a portion of metalheads love. Good signing choice though. Hopefully it will be fruitful for them." Well, I understand why you "took it" that way, but they don't acually write that it's going to be BETTER, just heavier  Just as it could sound like someone recorded a trailer engine from like 4inches away, which would make it heavier (?), but not exactly better But I agree that it might sound like they're trying to "play" on the heavy love of some metal-heads ^^ I just hope they do it for their own sake tho, abit tired of bands making music just to sell, instead of going their own path.

Written by [user id=20369] on 25.04.2007 at 04:08 I need to get a name of a band that do play metal for money? Cuz that ain't easy when they almost dosn't get any money for playing metal (exept Metallica and those biggest bands that's been around for ages)
