Hello there,
here below is some more information about the compilation. Would be good
promotion for you also. Theres only 3 slots available so let me know if
you´re intrested.
CASTAWAY RECORDS is a new European record label. We are licensing our
products to countries worldwide as well as co-operating with distributors in
all important countries. We are not only a record label, we are also a
Promotion Company (we do for example press, radio, online and TV publicity
in the most European countries) and a Booking Agency (we have booked shows
or tours for artists like Ryan Roxie [Alice Cooper Band], Doogie White
[Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen], Mats Leven [Yngwie, Therion, Treat], Snowy
Shaw [King Diamond, Dream Evil]... just to name a few)
We are now seeking new and upcoming bands for a new CD compilation. All
genres are welcome. The compilation is released to promote new and upcoming
bands for the European market. The CD will be sent for example to the most
important print magazines, zines, rock clubs, radio stations and to some
record companies and festivals.
Are you intrested to get promoted on the European market?
Some of the bands confirmed for the compilation:
HOLY RAGE
Featuring former Judas Priest singer Al Atkins
TEAM CYBERGEIST
DOPE drummer Angel Bartolotta´s new solo band featuring members of Dope,
Stone Sour, Kittie, Adema, Godhead, Saliva and many others.
DC4
A band led by former DIO guitarist Rowan Robertson alongside Armored Saint
guitarist Jeff Duncan and former Odin drummer Shawn Duncan.
DREAM ASYLUM
A new outfit including members from Sonata Arctica, Human Temple and
Altaria.
other bands/artists confirmed are ANDY KOSTEK (UK), CROSS SECTION
(Australia), RISE ABOVE (USA), ENTHRALER (USA), SINSTORM (USA), MONGREL
(USA), BURN THE SKY (USA) and MARSERA (Canada).
Heres some more information about the compilation:
- each band gets their photo, bio and contact information in the booklet.
- each band will participate with one track
- the compilation will be released before the summer festivals so we can
promote it at selected festivals across Europe.
- all genres welcome
- all artworks, booklet layouts, mechanical fees, taxes and such will be
taken care of by Castaway Records.
- 1000 cds are made
Additionally we give the bands featured on the compilation a chance to get
their song for sale through digital service providers like Spotify, iTunes,
Amazon, Napster, eMusic, LimeWire Store, Nokia Music Store, CDON.COM,
LAST.FM, Virgin Mega, play.com plus other important providers. Ask us for
more information abut this opportunity.
Each band pays 100 euro ($140) to get a song on the compilation.
But each band gets 15 copies of the compilation for free that they can sell.
So lets say you sell them for 10 euro each and you get 150 euro from the
cds. So the 100 euro is kind of an investment that you can recoup and even
make a couple of extra euros when you get your free copies of the
compilation. Plus all the promotion and exposure your band will get through
the promotion campaign. The fee is there to cover all the mechanical fees,
taxes, postages, manufacture of cds, mastering, artwork, booklet layout and
such since its gonna be a free promotional cd (not for sale).

буков много, потому вкратце суть изложенного: контора обещает продавать продукцию на летних фестивалях, где будут выступать самые разные группы. Так же заверяют, что участие в компиляции подтвердили группы, где задействованы довольно известные личности в мире тяжелой музыки.
Хотя, у меня все равно особого доверия это не вызывает )
