Nice! Well done. Just out of interest, how did you get the label interested in you? Did you / have you used music PR agencies in the past? I'm curious as I am a drummer in a band, although very different style to you. :)

Well in this case the label found us! One of the guys at the label found (actually bought) our demo EP and was a fan, so they paid attention to the album progress before they came to us.

We send the album out to many labels before that, had a couple of interests that kinda fizzled out and had 2 offers (both not great so we declined).

It's tricky though ... very tricky tbh!

Well done dude. :) Will you be playing at the Tunnels any time soon? I'm meant to see Semperfi at some point who apparently have a very good guitarist.

I'm afraid we don't really play in Aberdeen anymore! We used to play the Tunnels a lot but there's just no point in it. The Aberdeen music scene is **** and no one wants to see another band do well. A case in point - we get voted as "Worst Band in Aberdeen" every year because we are doing well and are actually good!!!

wow. what a nice person you are....

****

all words you can fit into those 4 stars fit the bill...

its not my taste in music either but congrats for getting the record deal and for making it in such a brutal industry.

get over yourself, get outside and away from behind your keyboard and maybe offer congratulations to someone achieving something in the real world.
 
Guys, I think ElliottJames is paying him a compliment.

Y'know... Disgusting is another way of saying sick. So he's really sayin' "Hey dude, that song is totally sick!" and probably throwing some gang signs out once he's finished typing it :)

SELL OUTS!

I mean, congratulations... can't beat earning money out of something you enjoy! :)

Well, let's not go crazy with the earning money yet ... it's still a long way to go and we'll see how the album sells :) BUT, the train is on the right track now!
 
I'm delighted for you. Then I think of all the groupies you'll be plowing through and I HATE YOU :mad:

Anyway, fantastic achievement. Enjoy your success!
 
Not a big Power Metal fan, but serious props to you. Well done. \m/ :D \m/

Not surprised it was a Japanese label... those folks are seriously into their Power Metal. Like, SERIOUSLY. Hoping it goes well for you over there.
 
Well done! Not my kind of music but sounds like you are all very talented in playing and there is clearly a market. Best of luck!

I'm outside the majority of the time, ive witnessed achievement on a larger scale, get over myself? Right, your points are invalid.
 
Well this is certainly my cup of tea, thoroughly enjoyed the song you posted and i'll be passing that on :)

By the way, your drummer has iron legs right? :D
