Aye Vintersorg!
People like you should be paid by the state to do music, like poets did before. But everything has become comercialised to the max. Many artists don't think like you and that's the problem. Maybe in the metal scene many people think like you, but not in the pop and the rock scene...there it's mainly about sex,drugs and alcohol... and the lyrrics, well... mainly just bullshit.
Anyway, many of the record companies can only blame themself. If they sold cd's cheaper and gave the artists more money, then more people would have whole hearted bought records.
I get very sad when I hear that great bands just get 5% or 10% of each sold record from the record companies...Fuck it's unfair!!
Well, I've bought all your records so far and will continue with buying good music when I hear it. I look forward for the "Visions.." release, and hope that with this release more people will be interested in your artistry.
Btw,
