Not Rip offs... but strange minded distros/ labels

HOLOKAOSTOR from Brazil...

First he doesn't want to trade unless it's Exactly how he wants:
He will send you master + covers of his releases, but you should send ready-to-use tapes (Thanx for the postal costs!!)... Where is the mutual support?... And it seems demos aren't good enough for him, nah, proooo CDs and beautiful ready-to-use prooo tapes are needed... I don't like these distros/ labels who are here to TAKE and only TAKE!

Then few hours later, he mails me, to directly ask if I want to release a tape of his band I never heard about... What the fuck? What's the use of directly begging this way? All the more since he didn't make a slight little effort to trade (lol... As if I didn't recognize the other myspace friend request that came 1 minute later...)

I someone asked me an opinion about his guy, I wouldn't advice... Just skip him...

Yeah, fuck that shit!

Apparently I sent him a snail mail after seeing a flyer,
but he didn't answer...
Then he will cry because peoples don't want to release his band Ah Ah

How can you make something in the underground withotu contacts?
I guess it's just another new black metal label on the pile...

I guess he doesn't wanna pay for a stamp, but expects to be heard/taken serious by a label? :lol!: ONLY MYSPACE IS REAL! :sarcastic:

There's waaaaaaaayy too many fukkin black metal labels these days that all carry the same fukkin items....That's why SFM is heading towards the more experimental noize/ambient side of things these days.....too many other labels are allready taking care of black metal

The question is....will they be around another decade or so?

I find that alot of labels find out FAST that there isn't much money to be made by starting a label so they close up shop preeeety fast.

It's THY RITES: http://www.myspace.com/thyrites666

I said "No tape release, but trades are possible..."
But they only have pro CDs! They want to be released on tape, but won't take tapes in return... Very clever...

I guess it's against THY RITES to accept tapes. :sarcastic:

Pro CD's sell better on ebay anyways.

But remember Gab, its KVLT to release black metal on cassette. :lol!:

I should insert a couple of black metal tapes in my asshole,
I'd become kult for some kind Ah Ah

The mighty EVIL SUPPOSITORY! ANAL IMPULSE.

Funny...

I wonder why he will only take pro cds...tapes seem to sell better nowadays anyway, assuming that is what he's concerned about.

I'm assuming that maybe there is a demand for CD's down in Brazil?

Or ebay maybe?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND when "1st" press cds are sold in the hundreds of dollars on ebay. Vinyl from the 60s-80s I can understand, same as cassettes. CD's tho, seems to "modern" to really be worth that much.

I'd be RICH if I didn't sell off all my cd's I had back in the late 90's.....I had hordes of original pressed cds from the early 90's....

Weird....I just did a nice trade with him without ANY problems....Fast shipping, hordes of extra covers etc

He doesnt only take pro cd releases.

He took most of my SFM cdr releases as well as cassette releases on cdr....and sent the same back in exchange.

Defintally not a ripp off for me at least, I'd say hes a safe trader.

Maybe he changed his mind since we "talked".. Some peoples are so picky sometimes... I don't like this kind of peoples who expect you to support them but won't do much in return (while they have the possibility to do so: a distro etc)

Did you send some harsh noise?

That is probally the case Gab. I rec'd my package within 3 weeks and it came with extra covers for cassette releases and 3 cdrs as well....

I sent him SFM's metal based releases.

Who contacted who?

Thy Rites contacted me on Myspace asking if I would like to do a promo cdr release for them, I said yes, as long as you take care of the cover art and add the SFM logo, which he did so, no problems...

I asked his label's myspace site not knowing it was the same guy behind Thy Rites, and asked for a trade....He said yes, I'll send you my releases with the THY RITES promo cdr, then I realized that it is the same guy....

Sucessfull trade, no problems and he is a cool guy I think.

I can't say for sure Gab, maybe I got special treatment because I released his bands promo cdr? :heinnn:

That is a possibilty as well.

After second thought, It never even dawned on me that it was the same guy in this thread that I got in contact with via myspace.
Sooo many trades going on these days.

I guess I should just be happy it was a sucessfull trade......
