News and announcements from That Authoring Group

Hopefully they decide to release more songs from them, but thanks for these two, they are awesome!

Just checked AFM's site and they have a damn good roster of bands. I hope they want to release something with Jorn Lande (Jorn or Masterplan). Who wouldn't want something like this?

I think they were going to get Unholy Confessions, but then HMX licensed it as official DLC.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Yeah we actually had the first two albums all but sown up to bring to RBN.

Then HMX snatched one of the tracks away from us (Unholy confessions) and Rock Blocked us on that one.

Still we were pressing forward, and then of course the collapse with GH and the bottom falling out of the music games industry kind of made the label skittish. So we settled on just two tracks from the second album (I won't see you tonight pt 1, and Chapter Four).

However with sales slipping even further and further on RBN content, I'm fairly certain that this isn't going to happen at this point. We've had a lot of big named bands lined up that have since backed out due to the falling sales.

I could list all of them but I don't want to make you guys all weep >_>

I carry this burden alone :P

But now I really want to know!!

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Well once we're sure the deals are dead I'll list them in the future.

[TheStuddz]

Deal. But not a happy deal, more like the really sad kind where everyone loses.

[ThatAuthoringGroup]

Yeah it really sucks some of the bands/labels that have been like yeah lets do this to, ehhh we don't think its worth it at this point.

[TheStuddz]

I agree. Sure, the weakening market means that the labels may not have as much to gain. But they don't have anything to lose, do they? I mean, unless they need to put money into splitting the masters or something. I clearly don't know what I'm talking about, but...

I think the labels should be putting out their music as many ways as possible. Music is made for enjoying. We can't enjoy it if the record companies aren't letting the music be heard.
