Legal is cool. Hope it brings them paying fans.
Hope no one here downloaded The Expendables as 23,000 people are about to get served

For those who want to know why or how this works - Scion has obviously been very active in advertising its brand in the extreme music community lately, whether by sponsoring tours, festivals or in this case funding a band's recording fees under the condition that it is allowed to "brand" the cover.
This EP from a financial standpoint is an advertisement for Scion, which is why we're allowed to get it for free. If one person who goes to Scion Rock Fest, or downloads this EP buys a car, they've recouped most of the costs involved in this marketing campaign. The fact Scion has been doing this for so long lately lends me to believe that several cars have been purchased via this "advertising" method and that they have ultimately been successful in hitting the audience they need to hit. Not everyone needs to buy a car, but even if the minority does, they've been more effective than spending millions on a commercial.
This is the second time they financed and "released" a musical recording. The first was Magrudergrind's recent EP, which came under a TON of controversy given Magrudergrind's DIY punk ethos. However, I think it's a cool idea and am all for artist funding -- whether from the government or from "the man." I downloaded the EP yesterday and did not get around to listening to it, but I will. Enslaved has yet to disappoint me.

Why not? Woud you not do the same thing if you were in a band of any genre??? If some sponsor said, "I will pay for all advertising, tour support, recording costs, etc..."
Anyone who says they wouldn't is:
1) A complete moron
2) Someone who can easily cry KVLT since they realistically will never be in a position of getting such an offer.

Just weird to see Black Metal hit the mainstream in such a way. Maybe Ihsahn will record a version of Don't Hide Your Shine for Old Navy next

Well Enslaved hasn't been truly 'black metal' in quite sometime and were never really associated with the whole church burning thing. I think it's cool. They're a great band.
This is a good read:

Sorry,
I didn't think any music fan needed an in depth explanation as to why a band would seek out corporate sponsorship. As I said, it is extremely obvious.

Corporate Sponsorship is not unique to the music business.
I guess 10+ years in the corporate world has made the whole "sponsorship" relationship an everyday concept to me.
It was the same thing when some cell company (forgot which one) was sponsoring the free Ozzfest a couple years back. YOu didn't need to be an MBA to understand the reason why........

As much as it would be a dream of yours, there is no sanctioned MIDGET BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION....
