Canadian prog group Protest The Hero have announced a new Bandcamp service, a subscription platform entitled "Pacific Myth". New songs will be released on a monthly basis to those who have paid the subscription fee; a 12-month subscription costs $12/year, with a higher $25/year subscription also including a docu-series based on the recording and release process for previous album Volition. The first song, "Ragged Tooth", was uploaded now.




The band's official Facebook page stated: "We wanted something more direct than a standard album release and record cycle. After months of soul searching and a little bit of elbow grease, we proudly present to you 'Pacific Myth' - our new subscription song and video platform. At it's core, this is a 'song a month' platform which launches RIGHT NOW. We will be releasing a new song every month for 6 months, always on the 15th. In our opinion, this is the most direct way we can deliver you new tunes."

The statement continued: "We have chosen to lead things off this month with 'Ragged Tooth', a cracking little banger of a song which we felt represented where we are headed with all of this. It's important to note that every song release will be accompanied with an instrumental mix of the song as well as hi-res album art, lyrics, and liner notes."

What do you make of the new song? And what are your thoughts on this method of releasing music on a song-by-song basis, purchased via subscription?
