“Why haven’t you guys got a record contract yet?” I can’t readily give you an answer for this but I suspect it is because the industry believes it’s own hype that the genre is dead and how can you tell them any different when it is so hard to find good new metal bands in the record stores and why is this? Well I suppose it’s because no one is signing any of them. I’ve been to my fair share of amazing Metal shows in and around Ontario and they usually consist a some very good talent and I am usually in disbelief when I hear how long these bands have been playing and that they have not yet been recognized and given the opportunity to be heard by the world at large it is a travesty that this genre is being denied for if it wasn’t for this music many of the other bands we love so much wouldn’t even be out there to begin with I mean you would be surprised to hear that many non-metal bands were influenced and decided to go into the music industry because of their favorite heavy metal bands.

One place that I have found online that is a great place for independent bands to get noticed and to network is myspace.com If you were to visit this site you would soon discover that most of the bands there are metal and that tells you that at this giant of online networking “Metal Music” is one of the top styles that people are listening to and enjoying on a daily basis. I myself am a Canadian performing artist I am the vocalist for the Metal band “Downer St.”
