Description

We re-recorded this album for a few reasons, but it would be foolish for me not to mention the more monumental of these, that being that our deal with our previous record label had them taking the vast majority of all revenue from what has been our most successful album until recently. When you spend over two decades in an industry you get to see how predatory it can be, and the main victims of this predation are young bands that are wined and dined into deals that all but guarantee the band will only make money for the label and not for themselves. This is what happened with us; we were never a group of people who were gunning to be massive or successful, we didn't really look to the future at all, instead we were completely taken by the treatment we received and the promises that were made and only when it was far too late and we were far too far along in our contract to do anything about it. This is a chance to claw some of that back and have some ownership over our own songs, something that we didn't have while with our old label. Let this be the canary in the coal mine for younger bands, in this day and age you can find ethical and equitable deals, you don't need to believe the bullshit larger labels will feed you, and you can maintain control over your masters and own your own songs. Thankfully we've always told people to get fucked when they've tried to meddle in our music or this could have been even worse, in any case, I hope that you guys enjoy this and give it a thrashing, we are personally much happier with this new recreation.
