A band with solid local buzz and professional materials gets rejected by labels who say the metal market is oversaturated and they won't sign another angry white dude metal act, no matter how good the grassroots support.
That was kind of the vibe we got back from, from some labels that we had stayed in touch with to some degree. And they were like, look great, you guys are great. You know, you've got a lot of things going for you. You've got a good underground base, you've got a great local base, you've got, you know, fully packaged product, CD logo, you know, website, street team stickers, buzz, yada yada, right? But they just said, we're just not, you know, we have enough new metal bands on our roster and half of those guys aren't selling even if we love you. And it's just not a great time to push Angry White dude metal.
