He was a bit shady on the ICON album on the Day Two track..I thought they just did shows together?
Yep right about the shows
Dope song. Sad to see that Dom P is done with Killarmy. I may not like the news, but I do understand. All the best to him in his future endeavors.
They should've let Warcloud join years ago.
Shame……….Dom P is sounding pretty nice on that ICON sampler? Would love to hear him, Sin and 9th ripping some bars on a new Killarmy album.
9th sounds washed. Honestly, why continue to do Killarmy projects if the other members don't want to? Why force it? That's how you get albums like FMJ. 9th put a dent on their catalog with that one. If they don't want to do it anymore than we gotta respect it. Peace to Dom P. I'd rather hear no more Killarmy albums than some forced shit.

I guess he has it on there for more exposure. Napalm is still going strong, they usually drop several projects every year.

As much as be hates to admit it, he'll always be connected to Killarmy.
I’m sure Killa Sin getting locked up has something to do with his attitude when it comes to Killarmy?
Holocaust is actually on this album. Headless Horseman track. A good cut.
because bandcamp is the most fair site when it comes to artist payouts. any indie artist should be using that as their main trade hub. bar noneQuote:

Another thing I love is the tags. Via these I have been discovering weird stuff all over. Like you would in a shop. That being said, they need to fix their search engine.
its because everyone and their grandma wants to be Spotify hot but unless you have a major label budget behind you, you’re kidding yourself as an indie artist if you think Spotify is worth it. Literally Spotify robs these dudes in broad daylight by paying them Pennie’s for thousands of plays but because they wanna be able to brag about doing numbers in the proximity of big names , they play themselves , what’s worse is that Spotify has tweaked their algorithm to literally only recognize people who get a certain number of plays so if you can’t afford major promo and a web street team to get you crazy huge numbers , you will stay in the Spotify graveyard .Quote:

I've been seeing that. Lately, I've also been confronted with 'look at this profile, they got like 5.000.000 followers.' But I am more and more wondering what that even means. Because it goes into what you are saying, the count does not equal money, or a fair share even. The number thing, though I do get why it is interesting, and that it is usefull to get some insights. I just don't think, most definitely as a beginning artist, that you should focus on solely Spotify.Quote:

You do pay a bit a month for your account if I am correct. But the thing is, they way you can interact on BC, (send personal message when buying, leave comment on the album/track/EP with your favorite track, get on the mailing list and send direct messages or receive personal updates), I think that way is connecting you way more with your actual base, and that is a base that is way more loyal an honest. They are less trend sensitive like the people on Spotify just eating up what the algo serves up.
What Bandcamp does have to work on, is their search engine. Though I did find some weird things through it, I think nobody is going for that record shop digging anymore with a search engine. I do get that feeling often when I am using it.
