Thanks and done!! Want the white vinyl edition sooooo badly! :tickled:
 
Imho, If any of the early reviewers let the 'watermarked' cd leak, he is a 'dead' man. It will possibly leak a few days before release date as the actual selling cds will be distributed and one of them will magically disappear.. but let's hope, for the band, that it won't happen. And for us it would be also good, so there would be no temptation. :)
 
Yes, Nuclear Blasts albums doesn't leak like a couple weeks or a month like they did a couple years ago, nowadays the albums don't really leak more than a few days up until a week, or mostly not at all. Soilworks was like 5-6 days, Wintersuns was also somewhere around there. Hypocrisys didn't actually leak at all (Or well it was released 20th of march and I think it ''leaked'' on the evening of 19th).

I think it's due to the fact they don't give out promos to the same amount of people/reviewers, not even close. And they have some better watermarking these days as well, so if someone leaks and they are able to trace it back to the person, he/she is FUCKED.

What exactly happens to the people that leak it by the way? Say hypothetically, if they can trace it back to the person, what happens to said person? I don't know what "fucked" means in this context. Like "assassinated" fucked? Or like just lose their job fucked?

Lose their job. And get hated by the entire music industry. Or at least they should be.
 
I'm sure they have some sort of contract as well, "I'll give you the cd for personal use ONLY, to be heard only by you, and if shared in any possible way you are subject to (insert any legal procedure that they both agree on)" so by uploading the album they will be screwed indeed.
 
Well the album is the band's work, labour and property. So basically same thing that would happen if you burned someone's house. No reason to expect leak until late May or early June.

Definitely will get sued for a lot of money, and since their leak is easily tracable from NB, they are kinda 100% fucked if they do leak it. Don't think you can get jailtime but I assume you're going to have to pay a lot of money.

Actually it's the same punishment either way- depends on how well the record sells after the release date they either jam a gold, silver or platinum 12 inch dildo straight up your anus
 
To the folks who complain this artwork looks like a Christmas artwork, just come pay a visit to the Spring Finland, it's cold as shit now and everywhere is white snow and brown, frozen dirt. Fucking depressing when it's dark. Luckily there's been sun this month. It's no Christmas thing, it's just normal Finnish weather.

Bullet For My Valentine's last album leaked early though if I remember correctly, like a month before or so. But yes, I agree, even with RRF I don't remember it leaking, and Bodom are very protective/serious about this, so I wouldn't expect it leaking either.

About those leaking it...

...well first of all I'd say it's a pretty safe guess to say that you won't be getting any more promos, and then, since they're people from magazines and so on, I guess the label would sue the magazine (I don't know if the label would be able to sue directly the reviewer, since I don't think they know beforehand who's going to do the review, they just send the watermarked version to the magazine/page/whatever), and whichever the outcome of that may be, the magazine/whatever may either fire or fee or maybe straight out sue the reviewer. I would guess that's the process it'd follow.
