Collide announce new album 2011-08-23 by Trey STAFF | 4 Comments | Goth-industrial artists Collide have announced that their fifth album will be called Counting to Zero and that it will be released on September 27th.
Counting to Zero was largely financed by fan donations, and will be self-released by the band through various outlets. Those that donated $20 or more will see their name on the CD insert as a personal thanks. The band had the following to say about the donation idea:
Quote:
And now some background on Collide, and to anyone who isn't familiar with how me make music:
We are a completely self run entity. We are our own record company. We do our own recording, producing and mixing. For any of our cover songs that we record, we pay all of the licensing fees. We do all of the artwork that you see, and make all of the merchandise that you find on our store. All of your orders are processed directly from us, with no middlemen.
We've been making music this way since the year 2000.
Here are some interesting facts that some of you may or may not know about the business of being a musician, and what enables us to continue to make music:
* If you buy something directly from our website, and you spend $10, we get the whole $10, minus only the processing fees from either the credit card company or paypal.
* If you purchase something from iTunes, we get about 67 cents for each dollar you spend.
* If you purchase a CD from someplace like Amazon, we get about 45 cents for each dollar you spend.
* If you download something from a torrent site, we of course get $0.
Our announcement of our new donation idea comes only days after we received a message on our facebook page from someone (umm...we'll call her Mandie) that had downloaded almost all of our releases for free. That's about 150 songs. We love Mandie, and we're glad she likes our music enough to keep coming back for more, but the truth is that there are costs that we have to pay to continue to do what we love, and hopefully what you love to listen to.
For anyone who feels like they can help out a little, or for people like Mandie who have been getting our music for free, now is your chance to help and donate to help us continue to make music.

They used to be really good. Their last album was kind of bad, though. Hopefully this is better.

Whoa no comments???? I'd love to see a return to Chasing The Ghost's sound, the groups always been a bit eclectic but that is by far my favorite release by them.

I was surprised too. I expected at least four different user comments ;)

Same here, at the very least I've got some friends who'll be excited about this; thanks for the post!
