March is Metal Month

cannibiscorpse

As Axl revealed to you all yesterday via the Completely Unreadable Band Logo contest… MARCH IS METAL MONTH! But what does it all mean?!?

To make a long story short, a bunch of legendary metal record labels, including Century Media, Nuclear Blast, Earache, Candlelight, Season of Mist, Willow Tip, Crash Music and more, are teaming up on a “get out the vote”-style initiative to drive traffic to independent retail music stores. The sale of recorded music is still the financial cornerstone of the music we all love, so MetalSucks has jumped on board to help out.

Throughout March is Metal Month you’ll see a bunch of fun contests here and on Metal Injection and Metal Insider, a CD sampler featuring some of the best bands on the above labels, exclusive merch available only at select retail locations and much more.

its just metal month because of all the promotional things that all these labels are doing not because of the shows

@alex direct quote from the site so no! that doesnt apply in this case!

"Yeah, we know, every month is metal month. But we're shining a spotlight on the Caroline Distribution family of metal labels for a month each year."

i saw a band over the weekend i liked. they were selling their CD for $10. i only had $5, so i decided to check out their site to buy their CD. I ended up buying their CD for 49 cents thru Amazon....
