Can we wait for more two Damnation tracks? (expecting Mikael's answer)

[Ecto]

well...first they said the album would have ten tracks, than it turned into eight tracks...my doubt is: they really recorded these two tracks? You know, if they're going to release them soon, I would rather prefer to wait and buy this ten tracks version.

Im thinking japanese bonuse's

why is it (almost) always the japnese that have all the luck?

 

[threak]

Well i remember a while back,there was a explanation on the roadrunner records site about why the UK,Europe and especially Japan get alot of special EP's,bonus material and extra's.Its not favoritism(he he),its to do with marketing or something.I would look it up but i cant be fucked.

I was thinking this same bloody thing my friend.

\m/

 

[murphp2]

Reason the japanese get all extra's is because they have to PAY for it...CD's are expensive in Japan.

 

[13 Fingers]

someone told me it was because bands don't tour there much cause it's so expensive

 

[diospada]

the main reason is because japanese usually have a later release date, that's why.....

 

[ChrisEmerson]

the reason japan gets all the bonuses is because cds are fucking expensive there. because of that, most japanese people tend to import cds because it works out cheaper. the bonuses are there to persuade them not to import the cds and to buy japanese ones instead.

 

[Cows on million man march]

..makes sense if u ask me...japan is suprisingle big on true metal...go japan!

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

The Japanese love their metal. Cathedral for example are fucking HUGE there. And they are tiny everywhere else.

One guy had it right. I live in Japan. The price here for any domestic cd costs around 3000 yen (about US$26-$27), while imported cds from America and Europe range anywhere from 1200 yen to 1800 yen (US$10 to $15). The reason the Japanese get the bonus tracks is to encourage them to buy the expensive Japanese domestic version of the cd over the cheap import.

 

[Parasite]

Arch Enemy is really loved in Japan too.

As for adding two tracks to D2, I doubt it.

 

[plattopus]

Also they usually re-print liner notes and lyrics in Japanese for the Jap releases... so while they're re-pressing the album they chuck on bonus tracks because it's so expensive (they pay more to make up for the effort of translating / re-printing).

 

[13 Fingers]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh i seeeeeeee

 

[Ermz]

Man, EVERYTHING is loved in Japan, haha.

 

[13 Fingers]

yeah i got a jap import. really interesting to read the liner notes.. haha

 

[jeanreno]

i got some Pink Floyd jap imports

 

[Troll]

It's because Japanese CDs cost like $500 each.

 

[Opet]

Either way. If there are two more songs Opeth recorded, you'll hear them sometime. So, wait it out or move to Japan.
