-Shadows Fall
The snow has started to melt, the days are getting longer and the time has come to announce this year’s lineup for the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL. Massachusetts metallers SHADOWS FALL have been tapped to play on the Jagermeister Stage with Hatebreed, Chimaira and Winds of Plague. This is the first time SHADOWS FALL will be a part of the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL, and they cannot wait for what is sure to be the metal tour of the summer.
SHADOWS FALL front man Brian Fair had the following to say about being on this year’s ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL: “We just wanted to thank all the fans that voted and spread the word about getting Shadows Fall on this year’s Mayhem tour!! The support is much appreciated. It is going to be an absolutely sick tour with a ton of killer bands. Can’t wait to destroy venues across America this summer. Don’t miss the party!!”
ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL pre-sale tickets go on sale April 2 and tickets go on sale to the general public on April 16 at LiveNation.com. Check www.rockstarmayhemfest.com for more information.
TAKE YOUR TURN FOR SUCCESS
SCION AND METALINSIDER.NET TEAM NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES FOR THE NO LABEL NEEDED CONTEST AND SERIES
The No Label Needed Contest and Series presented by Scion, in collaboration with MetalInsider.net, will help one band leave labels behind and take on the industry all on their own. The series will show readers how it’s done, all while helping one special contest-winning band get ahead in a spectacular way.
From 1/20 NOW EXPANDED through 2/8, unsigned acts can submit demo packages at www.metalinsider.net/nolabelneeded.
Twenty finalists will be selected and one winner will be voted on by the public and a panel artists, agents, writers and managers who work with the likes of Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying and Shadows Fall. Voting will run from 2/9 through 3/8. The grand prize winner, to be announced on 3/15, will win all the help and education they need to become a truly self-sufficient artist without having to sign a traditional record deal.
The winning band will receive a personalized, all-encompassing tutorial focused on the secrets and tips needed to achieve success in the music industry through DIY means of marketing. Winners will be mentored by the members of Shadows Fall, record an EP produced by Machine (Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, Suicide Silence), shop for their stage and photo shoot clothing with Maria Brink (In This Moment) and Rob “Blasko” Nicholson (Ozzy) and receive advice from the likes of Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their website will be re-designed, their merch re-imagined and radio and press campaigns mounted to promote their EP by the best in their fields.
The series is not only meant to be a learning experience for one band, it is meant to teach any dedicated musician who wants to learn how to properly market their craft. Readers will be able to interact with contest partners and contributing musicians and professionals through the site to get some real insight into specific areas of expertise.
We are very excited to finally be heading to Canada for a full headlining tour!! We look forward to rocking with all the metalheads in the great white north and sharing a few extra strong beers with you all!!
