btbm signs with metal blade.

[timislegend]

one of my favorite bands:

"We are delighted in the opportunity to join the Metal Blade family. Their commitment to heavy music over the years is inspiring and we look forward to becoming a part of the ever-growing legacy of the label. Our new release, titled "The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues" will hit the streets in April. We are confident that our dedicated fans will appreciate it and hopeful that we will gain the attention of some new ears as well. In closing, I'd like to reference a quote from the illustrious Joe Dirt: "Life's a garden, dig it."

bahahah!!!

woops! forgot the "a" ...lawlz!

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Ah, I honestly didn't know what band you were talking about

 

[AllanD]

I got confused at first, but this is cool news! I've heard bad things about Victory records fucking bands hard, so good for them!

 

[timislegend]

yea... that was dumb of me.

And this is why akronyms are fucking stupid. Everything in my workplace is like this and if the person just decided to take an extra second communication wohldn't break down so fucking quickly.

 

[timislegend]

...was it really that confusing? naaah.

 

[EerieVon]

Bullet To Bob's Mate finally were signed??? awesome

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

...was it really that difficult to type it out? naaah.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Guess I'm the only person that knew straight away it was a Between the Buried and Me thread.
Cool news, been a big fan of their work since Silent Circus

 

[JeffTD]

Between the Buried and Me is referred to in speech as "bee-tee-bam" all the time; acronym'ing their name is more than fine.

 

[K Odell]

Stoked for these dudes. They got to work with a great engineer on this new stuff. Along with Jamie King as usual. Should be pretty rockin'. Jamie said the engineer's tracking job on this was fantastic.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Bee-tee-bam? That sounds like some special move from Dragonball Z, where Gikkogobotsuki-or-whatever-the-fuck-his-name-is-you-know-the-dude-with-the-spiky-hair-and-enormous-biceps summons a huge ectoplasmic penis from the energy of the spirits of his ancestors and commands it to obey his iron will and make him some god damn tasty chicken chili rolls.

Oh, did I mention I kinda enjoy this band?

That video cracked me up big time, did not expect that at all

 

[Aaron Smith]

They probably got a super fatty advance or signing bonus, I don't know why else a band with their level of notoriety would have signed a new contract...

Because the label they were with (Victory records) locks in bands for 7 albums and pays them nothing. Seriously, i bet the only money these guys see is from performance and merchandise. Awesome sign for metal blade though BTBAM is my favorite band of all time (kinda lost me at colors though)

i heard they didn't even get tour pay... (because the label pays out of pocket). =\ ...what a scam!

your avatar cracks me up, dude!

I. Love. Chipotle haha that's the only thing a band can almost always count on. I'm guessing it has something to do with physical labor laws and labels not able to snatch on that. I'm sure victory takes a cut, but they are serious assfucks if they really take their performance money.
