It's where the $$$$$$$ is apparently. Give it time my brother...everything goes in circles. We shall have our glory in METAL once again!
This is the style that won't die. No matter how stale, how old, how unoriginal the music is, people keep playing it.
I remember about 4 years ago emailing Bombworks Records about putting out metalcore. He said either he puts out metalcore or he quits. The real issue with labels not wanting metal bands, according to him, is most metal bands are solo projects and not full touring bands, so they can't make up the money to put into them, let alone make money. So until we get more real, touring bands, real metal will stay under, at least Christian metal.
