How to get a Metal Record Deal
If you are in a metal band, and someone offers you advice on how to get a record deal they might be offering advice from the angle of people in pop bands, and that just isn't going to work for a metal band.
People might tell you if you want to get signed you have to "do Your Own thing" but a lot of the time people get signed because they're copying someone else, so that's not necessarily good advice, i continually see people in the nu-metal, grunge and screamo scenes out and out ripping someone off.
The next bit of advice someone might hand out to you, who probably knows nothing really about how to get signed is to have "talent". One mans talent is another mans disaster so that is a relative argument. If you played, to someone like "Simon Cowell" a record industry guy, some early days norwegian black metal he would probably think it totally sucked and it was just rubbish, and with this in mind, the black metal scene and the countless bands it generated would never have come to be. The norwegian government now ,actually acknowledges Norwegian black metal is an industry that operates and sells product and also is a world wide export!
At the end of the day "talent " is a different thing to different people and can't logically be explained in one way, you either like it or you dont. Most big stars these days in my estimate have the smallest amount of talent going, if any at all.
Next on the list of advice that might be handed to you by those who "know all" is to get yourself a demo together. This point i agree with , it's a great idea to record how you sound in the rehearsal room so you can hear how you actually sound , rather then how you think you sound when your playing, and it will help you get your parts down better.
But if you think by sending your demo off in the mail to record companys, and someone is going to hear it and sign you, then you better think again, it doesnt work that way.
So what can you do to get signed?Metal Bands seemed to be getting signed all the time, every week.
There are some things you can do to get signed but the points are to many to list in this article
