Branded as one of the metal juggernauts of the world, staying at the forefront of the metal/rock genre is definitely no easy feat. With every year that passes, fresh and innovative talent continues to emerge from the underworld.

In the past, bands from around the world went unnoticed due to the deficiency of their music’s distribution. Since then, there has been a drastic change in digital world and made its way to the front of the line. During this time, an online community named MySpace rose from the ashes and gave thousands of bands the opportunity to share their music with the world.

Thanks to MySpace, many talented unsigned bands quickly gained a strong fan (friend) following, are continuing to get discovered by record labels, and now have a place to call home.

Well last year was it Sonic Syndicate who won? Probaly going to be another mediocre melodic metal band like them although they're a guilty pleasure of mine.

Prepare for another Melodic Death metal or metalcore band...On a more postive note, this is a cool idea and I think that more labels should try this out.

nuclear blast doesnt sign metalcore bands.

metal blade does, even if metal blade has a good amount of fantastic artists, a large number of their roster are metalcore.

but nuclear blast is almost always european based bands(though there are some american bands on the label).

I find it funny that they say no offensive material while releasing albums for Dimmu Borgir.
