@tacos the band is already highly active on the business side of things, with Ben more or less acting as the band's manager. He's said in a couple of interviews (particularly in depth with the Loyola University one) that they make a great deal more money than bands considerably more popular than they are. As he talks about their various business strategies, it becomes apparent that they're quite money and business-conscious in a way that doesn't impact the quality or depth of their music. Basically, they're confident enough in what they're doing that they don't necessarily have to compromise their vision in order to get more popular - though they will continue to get bigger and bigger with each release. I don't think the record label will affect that side of things, because I simply don't think Ben would allow it. He wouldn't go into a record deal where there was any chance of the band being manipulated. Ya dig?

"Not to state the obvious but look at metallica =P"

Not every band has a talentless, money hungry, happy-go-lucky Danish pin dick waiting in the wings to completely compromise his band's vision and shit all over their legacy for a buck or two.

"Yeah, look what happened to Metallica when they signed to Sumerian."

LOL

Just like with everybody else... this seems weird to me, but weirder things have happend. Shouldn't change their sound too much more than it already would no matter the label.

TDEP sign to Sumerian, are going to make bank for the label. Ben Weinmen - probably smoking meth at this point trying to write riffs with a deck of cards.

Ewwwwwwwww Sumerian Records.

Dillinger Faceless Cynic Plan amirite?

I personally thought they should have stuck it out with Season of Mist. They had something going for once in their career.

I think managing their own label/"creative banner as Weinman said" is kinda difficult. Weinman's obviously the life of the band tbh.

Sumerian has Veil of Maya, After the Burial and The HAARP Machine. They're not bad at all.

Even if you don't like it, you can always reassure yourself with 'at least it's not Victory'.

"Hopefully the label doesn't force any changes on them (i.e Rise Records)"

Wont happen unless they themselves choose to make changes, or else they wouldn't have signed with Sumerian. The whole reason they did the whole Seasons of Mist/Party Smasher Inc thing was to have control over the music.

Chances are it was for distribution/touring/etc, etc but Im not totally familiar with how different labels do things.

this is pretty weird but you fuckers are overreacting. maybe you dont like the bands on the label but the label itself gives full creative control to its bands and is apparently really cool to them so dillinger will be just fine

They probably won't go "djent."
Look at T.R.A.M. they're not 'djent" at all and they're signed to Sumerian Records.

Dillinger would be the last band to bend to the whims of a label, so even though them being on Sumerian seems a bit weird, I'm not worried at all about it affecting the quality of the music.
