it looks like small labels get some breaks ...

[lurch70]

maybe this has bypassed the channels around here but VOIVOD got signed to THE END RECORDS

and I just saw a long ass THE END RECORDS commercial on MTV during Headbangers Ball ... so runnign a small label looks like a good thing afterall ...

 

[MajestikMøøse]

The End Records is a small label?

 

[Sadguru]

I can't help but respect that label. Long live The End.

 

[Furious B]

This may sound selfish and/or snobbish, but am I the only one that doesn't want neanderthals listening to the same music as me? I, for one, do not see the commercialization of The End records (or I guess, underground metal) to be a good thing. Sure, they may deserve it, but I mean, if Agalloch pulls an Opeth, I think I'll be crushed.

 

[Nico]

^Well said.

 

[J.]

that one Voivod album I heard sucked, so they'll fit fine with today's The End.

You need to read the new LotFP.

I have to agree, they are undoubtedly adopting the marketing techniques of the big metal labels, but until I hear evidence that they're restricting artistic freedom (no, Nokturnal Mortum doesn't apply here), they still have my support.

Word.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

What happened with "The End" and Nokturnal Mortum?

 

[Dev]

Got ejected because of the ideologic problems.

 

[Six-winged Seraph]

Well TER, isn't as strong as it used to be, it stills pulls out a number of quality albums a year....

 

[J.]

The End made it a problem.

 

[Nate The Great]

I think its been pretty awesome to watch The End grow of the few years they've been around. I have no problems with them.

What happened with "The End" and Nokturnal Mortum?

NocMort changed from their second-tier folk black metal pronouncements to Ukranian Hitler Youth jargon and slogans and logo. They flirted with it on NeChrist (the 88 tracks corresponding to the Heil Hitler shorthand), but went full steam afterwards. Andreas, being a sound businessman, and NOT a braindead loony, asked them kindly to send their business elsewhere, becase TER is not NSBM headquarters. It was Nocturnal Mortem AND Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra, btw. Though nobody mourned THAT loss

 

[BenMech]

The End Records is a small label?

Yes. Maybe 150 employeees altogether

 

[J.]

Yeah, they aren't underground anymore. Oh well. See ya.

ah ok i personally thought "spit in jewish faces/cut them into pieces/let the woods grow up on their corpses/they are not human/they are worms whose only mission is parasitism" as well as the swastika motif in the booklet was a bit more than "flirting"

also, it's spelled NOKTURNAL MORTUM

get it right or shut up

 

[Papa Josh]

who cares? Nokturnal Mortem was overrated anyway
