Band Members: Bands who work for Angel Rome Promotions might get a shot at being on a label that has been around for a long time. The benefits are jobs that don't suck and a chance to keep getting promoted all through your career. Mainstream labels rarely drop unless your roots are screwed up. In that case you might as well change your attitude so you can keep getting promoted in a way that doesn't suck. Big money and pop music can suck. For some styles it just doesn't work for others it somewhat does. Metal, fans, and money has been around for ages but it rarely ends up being what metal is about. Fans of the wrong music should move on to bigger and better things. Metal is a music and artform not a movement. It's a joke somewhat and the beliefs only have people on drugs or coming off them convinced. Like punk, it was meant to be underground and small. People who want metal big are what I call weirdos and metalheads. It's not what metal is about.
Yeah skinhead thrash punk is a good way to get in but it makes no money at all and it wont go platinum. You'll go gold but it will all crumble quick especially if you have an unproduced-sounding record. if you want to make money and stay gold you need to change something to make money. DO NOT ACCIDENTLY SELL YOUR CDROMS unless they say for promotional use only on them and they are packaged without marker or spray paint. It will upset fans when their friends come over and say that they got cheap and weird cd's in their house.
READ!
I will design you offset cards to add in them. 12,000 of them for $100. Do it!
If you want records, tapes, and cd's don't send your demo right now. Wait until I have formed more connections and established my clients. Hey! Don't worry about cd's and records they don't sell that much anymore. Just send me your mp3, tape, or CDROM. I accept reel to reel. Corporate labels don't pay for records anymore, the artists, designers, and musicians pay for them.
Want more fans and friends? Do something else and quit being violent. If you don't care fans will eventually come. When you ripoff established labels with shitty production it makes you look out instead of forming a business deal you look stupid. It will be hard to keep going if you really do pranks. Pranks ruin indie label businesses and band members end up living in trailer parks. It's cool to be dedicated to your music! Quite a few metalheads are.
The reason I left Spiral is because they don't have management. They tote their records to shows and it's humiliating. Also, all the skinhead thrash punk fans flocked to the label and realized it was low budget and left L.A. It was getting old, quick. It should have moved us out to Seattle but like I said they were low budget. It wasnt a bad thing but I could do more as a corporation not on Spiral who was slowly becoming too corrupt.
I told them I quit and left. I'm proud now that there aren't crazy punk motherfuckers out there who fight the RIAA too. Punks are still terrorists and nutcases so I avoid the scene of punks who blame me for their mental illnesses. There are punks who are mentally ill & seriously psycho still.
If you need to sell something, we'll hire you a street team eventually.
