LORD replace Japan label
LORD has made an official announcement that they're no longer with Japan music label SOUNDHOLIC RECORDS due to the company going bust. In the turn of events so close to their upcoming tour they have quickly picked up a new label by the name of RUBICON who will continue distribution of "Set In Stone" once LORD commences their Japan tour on November 21st.
“(SHORT VERSION) Our label in Japan SOUNDHOLIC RECORDS has gone bust at the worst possible time – just before they paid us our advance and just after they shipped our new album SET IN STONE to the distributors and then to stores. We terminated our contract when we caught wind that something was up, but by that time it was too late and we’re now in a situation where we have thousands of copies of dead stock that now belong to the liquidator all over Japan that we can’t easily get recalled. We’re currently chatting to lawyers now to see what options we have available.
Thankfully we have signed a new deal with a company called RUBICON who will now be releasing SET IN STONE in Japan on November 21. As an incentive for people to buy this new release instead of the ‘dead’ SOUNDHOLIC stock, we’ve added two more bonus tracks and a bonus DVD with our video clip of the song ‘New Horizons’. This is great news for us because our Japanese tour starts the day the album is released.
Apart from those dramas, we’d like to announce we have a new range T-shirts coming soon and a live album ‘LORD – Live At The Metro 2006’ available soon for legal paid download. This album was originally limited to ten copies only as part of an exclusive eBay bundle pack and features the final performance of our first guitarist from the 2006 LORD lineup.
The end of the year is looking huge. We’ve been touring non-stop this year, next up we have a week in Japan and then some massive end-of-year shows back in Australia. All of the details about tour and a full detailed version of this press release is available at the LORD Website.”
