maybe some one or a group of someones should compile a compilation cd to be distrubuted at metal fest or other shows?

or just for promotion for unsigned new england metal bands?

good idea

dude, ill buy a stack of cds and burn that shit, thats a great idea.

sweet. let me do the artwork for it.

im sure if people looked around we could find a great deal on cdr's i got 100 for $28.00 with a $20 rebate = 8 cents per disc.

most bands already have recording from which they could donate a song. and a few other bands could probably record a new song for it. there are enough people on this board who can record in one way shape form or another.

i can get cdrs fuckin dirt cheap

what would fucking rule

so each band throws down a few bucks for the packaging? like a cheap cardboard sleeve? that'd be a cool thing to do.

um i have no idea. im not an authority on the subject but i would say any bands that want to be involved should discuss the matter of how high quality they want to go with it.

even $10 x 20 bands would be alot of home pressed cds and covers.

my friend has one of those cd burners at his work that does 50 discs in 30 minutes with one load. he would most likely burn these if i asked him too.

promotion at metal fest anyone?

if you use the "rttp" letters on the CD, don't forget..the rev will have to be paid extra bling$$$

josh hates you... I know this might sound gay.. but... well there's no other way to say this... you love me.

I'm for this 100%. if someone wants to orgonize it, this would rock! It makes me happy that someone out there (aka the bands and stuff who use this site) would be down with doing something like this themselves.

For my part, I would hand out cds at the places that I go (along with metalfest) and I could make a reporitory for people to upload wave tracks for this comp. Though I doubt with all the awesome bands on here that one song from everyone wouldn't fill more than one cd.
I mean, abhorred... goratory... raov... hcn... dissector.. porphyria.. raising publick... cryptic warning... shroud (one song would be half the CD!)... the nightmare continues...
I could go on and on.

YES!! now this is going in the right direction.

looking into diskmakers and superdups and their 1000 cd packages with a sleeve go for about $1000. they would be good quality but we would need 25 bands at $40 a piece

or buy assloads of cdrs and having tons of people burning them would be alot cheaper and just paying for the packaging maybe?

im sure people like joenc and anne would know more about good deals in duplication.

... ANOXIA... TERATISM... LEUKORRHEA... ASCENDANCY...

I suggest we use full packaging in jewel cases (about 20 cents each), that way they aren't as "disposable".

All we have to do is have booklets and traycards printed (doesn't Tim of PORPHYRIA work for a print shop and Nate of LEUKORRHEA?) I will assemble them all and shrink wrap them all here.

Let's do this!

i'm not in a band or anything "yet" but this sounds like a really good idea to get these local bands out there and be heard. good thinking josh.
remember: tortured nowegian stigmata

These could actually be a collectors item if you guys wanna do 1000, I will hand number them.

And fuck Discmakers, DGR Inc. is the best and cheapest in the US.

This is a good idea. You can get CD's cheaper the more you get printed but there are other manufacturing companys outside of the US that do it for cheaper than the 1000 for 1000.

there will be 2000 people at metal fest alone.

maybe 1000 "good ones" for distibution over the next year and like 2 or 3 hundred of those to the metal fest

and like another 2 or 300 "home made copies" for the fest too? seriously the metal fest will be a huge way to gain access to local "metal" fans

remember last year there where like 300 extra users for the next few weeks after the fest looking at pics? what if they had a cd to go with it all?

average banner ads get 3.5K-5K views per day
after hellfest last year (when the server couldn't keep up) 8 banner ads were getting 12K view per day each.

I'm looking into ways to make RttP run smoothly in the aftermath of nehmf this year... I'm optimizing everything, updating to the latest code (mysql 3.23 to 4.19, php 5.02 to 5.03), and I'm going to remove a bunch of things for the fest week.

i don't understand japanese but i will assume that a lot of people visited this site after the fests last year.

lol

after fest, traffic triples and then slowly drops off over a week or so back to slightly above normal.

wow this is a great idea!!!!

i've been bugging tom from myspace to do a myspace compilation but he never responds.

DIY is the way to go!

i guess we suck but i think B.O.E. wouldn't mind having a song on it

this is definately a kick ass idea. not only would it promote the bands on the CD, but RttP itself. and aaron could never turn down some shameless self promotion now could he? I couldn't.
I'm not in a band, and can't do much for the CD but I'd be more than happy to distribute if need be. keep the ball rolling!!

has anyone done some serious looking into this yet? if not let me know and I will work on it, I know someone who does CD pressing and can give a great deal.

with my band i used to make 2 song samplers and hand em out wether it did us any good or not i have no clue

ya we handed a bunch out and, somehow some guy from Italy got ahold of one, and emailed us....so even if 1 guy gets it, that wouldnt b4 its worth it, to me.
I'd pitch 20 bucks into this idea.

I'm thinking that one track from each band on here would mean that 2 discs would be needed...

nate - i been looking into it and so far new england cd has had the lowest price.

$1000 for 1000 in jewel cases 5 color print on cds and inserts.

a bunch of other places are about $1000 for just the little sleeves. if you can get a better deal that would be awesome.

i can take all the individual tracks and normalize them to one level for the cd to be pressed. ghetto mastering if you will. or maybe someone can do it better.

there needs to be bands willing to be on it so far there are a few bands that expressed interest and 3x that many people not in bands interested.

maybe 20 bands x 50 bucks = $1000 and 1000 cds

each band gets: a song on the cd. band name, song name, etc. on the back cover. band info/contact info on the inside. 20 copies of the compilation do do as you please.

every band gets 20 copies that is 600 left over. maybe like 100 to the reverend to dispense.

and the rest to be given away by "street teams" at the metal fest?


i am obviously just throwing ideas into the wind here.

dreaded silence would like to contribute a song

50 bucks may seem high but if every band signs up then we are talking 2 cds and even more money to dup/package. the $50 might help limit the whole thing so it can fit on one cd.

again just throwing out ideas.

betting the palladium won't allow you in with the cd's to hand out i know in the past i had to sneek em in

subjugate said:

well, I could sit here all day and say bands that are "rttp" bands...
I would love a deverse CD with some metalcore, noisecore, and harcore...
colin of arabia, as long as we're all living we're all dying, screams of erida, suspension of graces, cut throat... the list could (and will I'm sure) go on and on.

im going to an icp/twiztid/wretched asylum show soon, i can pass a few out there.

we're down with donating to this compilation. maybe we could get some uncle pete onto it too

lolz

the more hardcore the better

i remember a fella long ago who made a compilation cd to support the local metal scene i think the cd was called VICTIMS OF THE UNDEAD

you talking about rich (lost disciple)? he made a comp or two. I forget what they were all about.

nope , this cd was ALL LOCAL BANDS

subjugate said: I think you are right, I remember seeing assloads of demos in the trash at the door. This all seems like a novel idea, but if only a fraction of them got tossed in the trash, it would definatly suck. If anyone does organize this, I definatly want in.

No fucking hardcore!!!

no fucking metal!!!

Visionaries of the Macabre were the Lost Disciple compilations.

http://www.dgrinc.com/ will give the best price for 1000 raw CDs, like I said, I will assemble them and wrap them here.

All we need to do is design the booklet and traycard and have them printed.

whether you are a fan of hardcore or not, it should obviously be on a rttp compilation.

AUTOPSY_666 said:


IT WAS NOTCOMMON RECORDS

dude, seriously, ill sit here and burn one at a time if need be, im all about helping this idea... and as for getting them out, ill keep a stack on me at all times and give them everywhere i go, not just metalfest

I'm with keith, I'd definatly donate some time burning discs. As long as I got a fat sack of weed, I could burn cd's all day

subjugate said:

What the hell are you talking about, Jim?!

Lost Disciple released those compilation CDs, my old band A TRAGEDY UNVEILED was on Volume 1.

AUTOPSY_666 said:



joe put out a comp way back called "victims of the undead" it was all local bands, it was a veiled effort to give joe some well deserved props

NC-03 Victims of the Undead (New England metal compilation)
1-Bane of Existence 'Denounced'
2-Ravage 'Into the Shackles of the Night'
3-Kevorkian 'Feast of the Vanquished Flesh'
4-Cruelty Divine 'Under a Smear of Stars'
5-BoneScrew 'Ask for Nothing'
6-Iron Will 'Conquer On!'
7-Watchmaker 'Salt Fertile Earth'
8-Command Presence 'Institution'
9-Abortion Clinic 'Anal Vapor'
10-Acephalus 'I Undead'
11-Karys/Spillberg 'Stealth'
12-Archaic 'Tomorow if at all'
13-Beyond the Sixth Seal 'A Revelation for the Forsaken'

If we were doing it DIY, I could set up 4 or 5 burners to burn at one time.
I think I have 6 burners total.. but I could only put 5 into one machine to burn simultaneously.

granted "press" a cd would be much cooler... especially if some live-from-rttp tracks were on it.

yeeeee

1 TERATISM
2 ANOXIA
3 DREADED SILENCE
4 WATCHMAKER
5 KEVORKIAN'S ANGELS
6 LIFE AT ZERO
7 HAND CHOKE NECK
8 BANE OF EXISTENCE
9 SIN OF ANGELS
10 DYSENTERY
11 NEFARIOUS
12 PORPHYRIA
13 BETRAYAL
14 ABHORRED
15 GORATORY
16 RAISING KUBRICK
17 CONIFER
18 DISSECTOR
19 HORN OF VALERE
20 RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE
21 NOOSEBOMB
22 CRYPTIC WARNING
23 DEATH WITHOUT WEEPING
24 SENSELESS MUTILATION
25 SHROUD OF BEREAVEMENT

29 PROGENY OF RUIN
30 HIRUDINEA
31 OCEAN
32 TERMINALLY YOUR ABORTED GHOST
33 KALOPSIA
34 THROWING SHRAPNEL

looks like a good idea for a double disk comp...

and the title of this line-up?
1) burp vocals (now with 2x the ocean)
2) what the fuck is hardcore

AUTOPSY_666 said:

you listed ocean twice..what about conifer?

35 GIVE US THIS DAY
36 DISTRUST

37 DEATHGRIP
38 SUICIDE CONTEST

call it local bands passed over for the 2005 nehmf

That's the best idea I've heard in a while.
I can gave them away at the store, then I'm going to Minneapolis Mayhem, MD Fest, and on tour with Impaled, send them to labels too.
I can get wholesale prices for CDr, jewel cases and tray card.
My only request is to have Nefarious on it, none of these guys have access to a computer and I feel like I'm part of the band, they're my best friends. They'll be on this site all the time if they did have computer access.
Maybe all the labels from this site could chip in and get real CDs done?

Definitely have Pathos, Armageddon and Not Common along with RTTP and Defy Unlearn can sponser this thing along with the bands chipping in.

I can get jewel cases cheap and 1000 real CDs pressed for around $500.

conifer would be 1/2 the cd....
what about dehumanized?
wargasm?
i, destroyer?
burn my remains?
as long as we're living we're all dying?
blood obsession?
clitorture?
mucopus?
taste of silver?
pray for a plague?
it will end in pure horror?
the_network?
disengaged?
aganihm?
CWAF?
attacking frequences?
invocation of nehek?
the auburn system?
a terrible night for a curse?
the nightmare continues?
adolph satan?
goratory?
whoremasteryicablical?
morkul's new band?
suspension of graces?
death amphetamine?
pillory?
kruixis?
akela?
fourhorse?
inheritance?
uwa?
id?
hatred alive?
the hostage heart?

yeah, what the rev said..esp since these are local bands that post on here...john and rev's list together sound good, plus what anne said

This is going to require 3 discs. The fact is that if we do that we can't let any band out, really. But we should stick only with New England bands.

heh, or with conifer and ocean and SoB, 5 discs.

i don't think anyone mentioned BOE..ADD THEM

Dont forget about my 2 bands!
NOOSEMEN AND OLDBOMB

ok well what if bands that have played rttp use one of their tracks..

plus we make a thread and see WHO actually wants to participate?

"we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

succubus said:

autopsy did but many thanks for thinking of us you rule

i will personally pay for BOE to get on it

you know if you make it an mp3 cd you can fit all the bands that post here probly

I will personally pay for Nefarious to get on it even if they have no idea what's going on right now.

Mp3 cd huh, Brilliant!.. that is, for an alternative idea, its a damn good one. You could definatly fit WAY more music in that format.

i love this idea and with throw down cash to get my band on it!!

An Mp3 CD.. though a perfectly whizzy idea... would cause 95% of the people out there to not listen to it.
now a whizzy flash/movie mp3-thing togo along with the cd(s)? that might be cool.

whoremasteryicablical?????
i want on this too...

Tom's Mosh should be one of the enhanced features on the cd.

Josh always has brillant ideas, i fucking love the kid.

is it possible to put both music and mp3s on one disc? you could always put the obvious bands on there as music and fill the rest with mp3s. With at least something on there for people to listen to Im sure you'd see less of them on the floor where many comps/demos end up.

yeah, just what I thought when you said that.
but what does "obvious" mean? ones who pay?

what about a pressed cd of "paid" bands and a mp3 cd of all bands that post here, but the mp3 cd is a burnt cd.

Disengaged plans on recording a new song some time soon, we would definately like to be part of this.

As with all the bands, how about doing different volumes? Like a new cd every couple months.

I was thinking about that too, but this is going to be a lot of work just to keep it going and distribute it.

thats a great idea

i have a recorder and cd burner, maybe all the bands chip in some cash and we press like 1000 cd's, i can get killer discounts

should another thread be started asking bands to post to see who wants in .. and to see about costs?

most likely they cannot be brought inside randomly. people like aaron and carina may be able to get them in for press type shit but whatever.

it better to hand them out outside the show. that way the palladium cant say shit. the sidewalks are lined with people. plus people giving them away should only give them to people who are actualy interested(teenagers in CC shirts) and talk to the people you give them too. if some random douche hands me a cd odds are i'll give it a listen and if it sticks out i might look into it. if it sucks it goes out the window, but if the guy who gave me the cd was like "hey check this out i play guitar in whatever band on this comp if you like (fill in the blank) you might like it. we're from wherever call us about playing a show sometime contact info is in the cd cover" i might give the cd an extra listen.

plus we are not offering over saturated polished run of the mills corporate shit. local metal. not a victory sampler.

new england is wicked pissed might be an appropriate title.

id love to see some non metal *gasp* on this comp.

definetly is a great idea.

I can typically bring anything anywhere I want.

also, I have the ability to send things to people... like radio stations and junk.

well..if you guys are serious and want to do it...know that both the rev (returntothepit) and myself (defyunlearn) are official sponsers of the fest as well as official photographers

we could always find out about getting a booth and giving away the cd's, rttp and defyU stickers and if someone wants to sell merch..i dunno how that works though

blue, I've said that like 30 times.

the_reverend said:
same for me....but pr peeps not radio stations

I will hopefully have tshirts by then. but I'm not selling merch at the palladium since they take like 20%. which means I'd be loosing 20% on each hoodie.

Anyone else thinking about artwork? I'd totally love to do the layout and if anyone wants to collaborate, that'd be awesome too.

Just read this thread. This is an awesome idea!!

CW definitely wants in and would definitely like to help out somehow.

Hooker said:

mark fucking richards?

I'd like to do a Manowar style cover. Full on oil painting. Any concept ideas anyone?

I big old picture of carina's titty.

the rev read my mind!

the_reverend said:

i know, but why would people listen to you.

my two cents.. u never a cover thats gonna be awesome.... thats gonna get people interested....

metal fest weekend i come home with bags and pockets full of stuff i get for free.... if it doesnt catch my attention im less likely to listen to it. i also agree with autopsy i believe was the one who said it that u should get jewel cases... it makes a big difference between whether someone holds onto it or if it ends up on teh floor...


and lastly for now... u cant bring cds into the palladium... sooooo unless someone got a booth to hand em out at ...or u did it outside... u wont be able to bring them into the building

Does she only have one? Like a conjoined tit?

it'd be cool if it was 3 tits like the chick from total recall...

just saying

you sayin myne aren't cool??? huh? huh?

i'll have you know myne have been through hell and back and are large and perky enough to look fake!

i think by adding some hardcore bands you may get some hardcore kids to start listening to metal.

colin of arabia, shoot to kill, cut throat, righteous jams etc...

if you hand these cd's out at metalfest, 1/2 of the kids will be hardcore and may just take it because it's free, then throw it out because there's no hardcore on it. but if you have hxc and metal, maybe they'll listen to some of the metal along w/ the hxc.

New England Is Wicked Pissed is a good title for it, I like it.

Forget about selling merch at the metal fest, they charged $300 for half a table the year Dark Funeral played, so it's probably $800 for a full one now.

Start a new threat to see what bands are interested, what they want to contribute or can.
Get some quotes on CDrs and real CDs, jewel cases and tray cards.
Find hookups for printing.
Find sponsors (RTTP, DefyUnLearn, Armageddon's in, and I figure Not Common would be in too..Joe is in Philly right now)

Hooker, the Manowar style cover is fine by me as long as you put swords, blood, skulls and fire in there.

tbone_r said:

i agree.

as carina said there needs to be an official signup thread for interested bands. and a serious $$ amount figured out.

how many copies? (seems like at least 1000)
who can get the best price for a "professional" looking product?
how long are all the songs to be entered?
can they be fit to 2 discs?
who will master/normalize it?
do bands even want to pay or as some one suggested some bands do a paid version and everyone else do an indy DIY comp?

i figured hardcore bands would be on it..since some were listed and others played the radio show...and this site has both (myne has even more..but let's not start maknig fun of me now for marilyn manson)

THere's enough hardcore bands in Providence to fill up one disc and the Rev most likely shoot them all already.

i want to do something to help with this, but i feel so useless, hahaha

you and i both keith it has gotten a bigger response than i thought.

all the local hardcore and metal bands would be like a 200 bands comp.

how bout having a cd for the paying bands and have it come with another disk thats a bunch of data mp3s for non paying bands. That way you can fit everyone with out giving out 5 cds in one package

since its gonna be an rttp disc, one way to keep it short would be just put bands on that are semi regs here....that kinda sux for other bands and funds tho....so maybe the mp3 disc is the solution.... most newer car and portable cd players play mp3s anyway.

fuck it, make it records, a 35 lp collection, you can get like 3 million of them for 20 bucks

Hooker said:

Something along these lines?

hahaha hahaaahah

terrible

man-o-war's not going to be happy about this..

fine i'll put boobs on it, but it's going to be a painting of my own

omg where did you get the pic from his face???

From his my space page.

nop. Vinyl are more expensive to manufacture than CDs, when I said vinyl I meant LP and 7".

moran said:
i knew it looked familiar...it's one of the pics of him and i


you can't incorporate this somehow:

I want underwear that say that.

so what are we doing here? i'd be down with throwing like 100 bucks in and help promote, press and distro. anyone else serious...we have a little over a month and a half to do this....who's in? would 100 per band be enough? and how many cd's would we press?if there is 30+ bands 100 x's 30 is like 3000 si its about 1,100 to press 1000 cd's so we would be off to a good start there, add cost for shipping,artwork, photos, and t shirts...i think that would work!

who ever is heading this down with this just im, email or call me

im willowsoul666

email is info@shroud-of-bereavement.com

hahahahahah this will be the greatest cd comp ever, peoples head's would explode

hell yeah man!

im telling you, it would be a very good idea to get some hardcore on this thing.

So we'll do that.

well, you get The Old Men and I bet Neoprophets would be down for it....among others.

The Taste of Silver would definitely be interested in being on this shit. Who right now is actually trying to get into an organizational/administrative role about this?

Mucopus would help out in any way, shape or form.

the teratism boys are tippin drinks to this....we must know details soon......best idea ever!

wow this thread is out of control!

great idea! let's get a list going of actually which bands will throw down the cash for this?

DEATHAMPHETAMINE would like to take part in this. We are willing to donate money.

that's why i said start a new thread with all the info..should i?
