It's about time MB signed a band that wasn't AIDS of the ear.
[Jul 21,2004 4:35pm - JellyFish ""]
cool. Metal Blade is ok.
[Jul 21,2004 4:38pm - JellyFish ""]
metal blade also lost GWAR recently so Im sad.

Thats cool. they definitely deserve it. i heard nastiness about metal blade as well though. hopefully they only signed a two album contract so they dont become metal blades bitch if in fact that label is as shady as ive heard.
[Jul 21,2004 4:42pm - JellyFish ""]
Im not sure about it. I never heard of this new label, so I cant formulate an opinion. Metal Blade is definetly looking for more 'appealing' bands lately though.

from what ive seen/heard, metal blade tends to shell out the bling for recording and cd production, but cuts short on promotion.
[Jul 21,2004 4:47pm - JellyFish ""]
it depends on the band. You wont hear anything about a new Vomitory cd unless you check the site, but if theres a new say canibal corpse or six feet under or unearth cd, they are all over it. Its more 'appealing'.

Metal Blade is trying to get better again. which is good.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Metal Blade Records sign GOATWHORE!!!
I am very pleased to announce that Metal Blade Records Inc. has officially signed the New Orleans based black metal band Goatwhore. Goatwhore is known all over the underground scene for pushing the boundaries of black metal taking it to a more extreme level without all the theatrics the genre has become famous for. They focus on the raw brutality of the music itself creating a horrific soundscape that will bring you to your knees. Be prepared for plenty of touring and then a new album on Metal Blade Records in mid 2005.
"We are very excited to welcome Goatwhore to the Metal Blade Family. They are already a great band, with a great career and we plan on taking them to the next level." Brian Slagel - Owner and CEO Metal Blade Records Inc.
"It is an honor to be signed to Metal Blade Records. They have been around quite sometime now and have always been pioneers at releasing new extreme metal/hardcore at a well-noted level. If you go back to the earlier years they were the label that kick started Slayer into what they are now. Not too mention numerous other metal acts. Metal Blade Records have also ventured off into other terrains with earlier releases such as DRI, Cryptic Slaughter, Beyond Possession, and Corrosion of Conformity. These standards opened up a wide array of styles within metal and hardcore to be accepted by a wider audience in the extreme music scene. Creating a crossover effect among punk, metal, hardcore, and thrash metal. Now we see bands such as As I Lay Dying, Unearth, and The Red Chord sharing label standards with Vader, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation, Cannibal Corpse, and now Goatwhore. This idea still in tact: still keeping the trend of having an extreme label covering a wide spectrum of choices within the extreme music scene. Not an easy task for a style of music that always has its ups and downs and mood shifts like a pregnant woman with ice cream. Metal Blade has brought us some of the best releases of Death Metal, Hardcore, Thrash Metal, and Metalcore. As time progresses the styles will change and grow and Metal Blade will make sure they are a part of the change and will continue to bring us lethal extreme music. This is why all of us in Goatwhore are very pleased to be doing our next release with Metal Blade Records. Look out for the new Goatwhore release in 2005. Until then, come out to a show or two and show some support." Ben Falgoust - vocals
"I am really excited to be signing with such a legendary record label...I look forward to what the future holds for us." Sammy Duet - guitars

That's what I've seen.
So does this mean Goatwhore is going to incorporate xmoshx into their songs now? Because I will chew a hole into my wrists before I'll watch that happen.
