| For more years than I care to mention I have been involved with the music industry. Running Record Labels, prromoting gigs, tours, club nights. Writting fanzines, contributing to magazines running websites and generally getting the word out about bands that we feel are deserved of your attention. Never sticking to one project or genre and working with many top bands from the worlds of Metal and Indie as well as creating my own unique style. Never to miss an opportunity I thought it a good idea to put some music up here along with links to my current projects. I will change the video on a weekly basis, but it will always feature a band we have worked with in the past or are currently helping out. Possibly not everyones cup of tea (or should that be blood) but over the years this sort of music has been the backbone of what we do in the world of music. There are simply hundreds of bands we could put up here, most of whome come from Scandanavia. Just why I put Necrophobic up, is even to me unclear. I guess its a fair representation. First impressions, you will undoutably turn off but give it a couple of plays at least - even the most die hard cynic can appreciate excellent musicianship when they take the time to listen. |
