Label Deal Question

[Master of Mayhem]

Does anyone know if the Spinefarm/Universal deal is a european deal or a worldwide deal (which would mean Universal is releasing the record in the states). Could someone please explain the label deal. It is not stated clearly anywhere what the actual deal was.

Hmmmm. I readed a lot yesterday. The thing its that Universal Music bought Spinefarm Records. So... I believe COB signed with Spinefarm. And Spinefarm its now part of Universal. So.... they didnt need to find a discographical sign to distribuite theyr records in the world cause now Spinefarm will release though Universal, with the name of Spinefarm. No????

...Universal bought Spinefarm?...fuck, didn't know this.....hopefully the distribution for Spinefarm artists will now get better...

 

[loWildChild]

Yeah Icehearth... But... remember the past? In the 80s the multinational record labels put the Heavy Metal in the top. And then they killed it.... So... thats good? or bad? hehehehe

 

[Iceheart]

QUANTITY got killed, not QUALITY...!!
...and you generalize...I think /(hope) Spinefarm has still a certain degree of self-administration...actually I don't know the facts about the fusion..so I'll go and check it out first...

Well, as long as they remain Children of Bodom, I'll be happy. And don't change their music too much.

I readed that the deal its that Spinefarm its auto-administrated. I mean they are the same of always, but now they are part of a multinational. But dont worry. I also readed the president wont change...

it scares me knowing that universal is the home to many "rappers"..........

Kiss prevailed very well in the early 80s and they were signed on a disco label "casablanca"

I hope Bodom will not end up like Carcass ! (if you know the story)

From Newscorner: "After an official statement of spin-farm the Deal will not affect "Spin-farm Oy's relations, distributions and contracts." Spin-farm Oy will be further as independent as before."

Why does this scare you? It'll be a cold day in hell when baggy trousers and a scratch table appear on a CoB album.
