Now up to 35% merch commision will make it impossible to sell your bands stuff at the festivals in the future."

FROM SCHMIER FINK (DESTRUCTION):

 

The extermination of music and culture is going ahead with big steps!

Streaming is something we had to accept- eventhough 0,002 Cent per streamed song is a joke.

Now up to 35% merch commision will make it impossible to sell your bands stuff at the festivals in the future and now FB and Instagram are shadowbanning your articles daily, zero reach and in the same time they ask if you wanna pay to reach people. Those people are the fanbase (followers) you did build over the years with hard work...

If more and more bands will give up, here is why ...

BTW back in Spain in May at Galiametalfest That was the good news of the day, then we posted the poster and got once again shadow banned by Zuckerbergs money machine.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
