| Right here...
http://www.earache.com/gamabomb/
Don't get your panties in a twist, old-schoolers. It's all legal-like. Earache Records is offering a free download of the new album, Tales From The Grave In Space, via RapidShare. Click on the link, then go to Album Anouncement for details. You'll get the songs and all artwork included. No word if there will be an actual cd release as well.
And check out this article defending the practice of legal downloads... http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/10/28/earache-records-takes-one-giant-step-into-the-future/#more-23463 It's just one bloggers opinion, but he makes some interesting points. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| It's a load of bollox really, all it is is good marketing on Earache's behalf as it's been posted about for two months now, you'll probaby get these messages from Earache after the 12th of Nov saying that there was 5000 downloads during it's first week. Great to see Rapidshare on board too. Vinyl and Double CD will be released in February. |

They would probably have more in common with somebody like Municipal Waste.Thrash with a punkish delivery,although not quite the crossover sound that MW has. | |

I imagine I'll do the same. Download now, purchase later. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| This is a great move. but they are not the first to done it. Fountain of Tears were one of those bands that had their album to be streamed on their site for like a week. Inexerdium gave you a downloaded copy while you wait for the cd to arrive.
I see it as a smart move, this way the guys that really like it, can purchase the product. I agree with what the guy is talking about the 360 move from Labels, it would involve them more with touring and merch | |

| The 360 deal has the label receiving money off the band's touring and merch sales as well as cd sales. I'm not so sure that this is a great idea especially for an up and coming type band like Gama Bomb. | |

Unfortunately, I think that's gonna be a very small percentage. Especially for a small band like Gama Bomb. In all likelyhood, they will have a rather small-ish percentage of free-downloaders, then even a smaller percentage of those people buying an actual cd. It's a different story if someone big like Metallica offered a free download of their next album. - Quote :

Sound a little fishy to me as well, knowing that most bands make their "real" money through touring & merch. How many of them are gonna want to give up a slice of that pie? But as the accompaning article pointed out, using that 360 deal could force the record labels to promote & tour the bands more in order to make a profit, knowing that they are making nothing (or next to nothing) by relying on the sales of the record by itself. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was.

If the 360 deal forces the label to promote the bands more then I agree it could help. | |

| Checkin out the Gama Bomb right now... me likee... riff wise I hear a lotta Slayer/Exodus going on, vocally I'm reminded of Bobby Blitz (with a hit of Gerre from Tankard)... and judging from the song titles and artwork, they have a thing for horror/sci-fi "B" movies, which is right up my alley... all around, good stuff!! _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| It sounds exactly like their last album. I was hoping they would've progressed. It's merely good ... still not great. | |

Eh, that's good enough for me. Anyone know how long this will be available for free download? _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.
