My friend and an awesome neoclassical shredder Borislav Mitic has recently signed for Lion Music which is the metal label from Finland that also released my album.
Just before he released his new record he posted a very seirous story about "The Murder of Music" on the Lion Music's website. Some of other Lion Music artists (including me) also gave their input on this subject. CHECK IT OUT HERE! I would be interested to see comments on Borislav's text from GMC community. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Apparently the labels can't advertise well enough. I think that's what all this compels me to believe. Deep purple can't fill a hall? Then deep purple didn't adapt. Some guy only wants to fill a club instead of using his songwriting ability to sell popsongs back to those labels? Someone else not adapting!
It just seems like more proof that it's always been better to adapt than to hold fast and die. -------------------- ::jafomatic

The labels do a lot in terms of advertising, what independent artists simply cannot afford. TV and radio commercials being one part of that. No way independent artist could get a TV ad by himself, it's too expensive. I'm no expert in the record label business tho, but I think they can do better for the signed artists in present time. On the other hand, I said clearly that they are monopolists with profit on their mind, so that explains WHY they put so much effort. Artist sign because they want promotion, and promotion is easily get via labels, with some guarantee, as opposed to little guarantee when choosing to go alone. It's a hard road that artists will rarely choose. I think most artists would join big label if they had a chance, because they understand that promotion is there, and they can spread out their music without needing to do that job for themselves. Regarding Deep Purple, they are an old band, that was on top of their career a while ago. People are interested in a bit different music today, it's the way things flow. Constant change is important for humans, the music is not holding place, it's changing form all the time. This is why they cannot fill the halls. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
