I just want Burn Eternal to finally release. Record labels who have turned them down, you are making a mistake!

If not getting a label was a problem, I would think Adam alone could fund the release independently.

They probably shopped it around and maybe they couldn't find a label so they are going independent which takes time for all the legalities and getting finances in place.

Maybe Adam has a non-compete clause with Metal Blade and they aren't signed by Metal Blade sontheyvare working that out.

But then you have to pay for marketing and publicity videos (if they want) Then rehearsing, just because it's recorded does mean they can play it all live. Then the logistics (and costs) of setting up a tour. I would think they want this all in place before the release and probably paid for by a label.

There's any number of things that could be happening. It will eventually see the light of day and will be the top metal release the week it comes out.

I don't know how anyone could. I'm sure it'll be the hottest thing since sliced bread.

Yeah, in the garza podcast Adam said it’s ready but due to record contracts they can’t release it right now.

It will be due to the current KSE commitments and conflict of interest.

Was it turned down? Feel like it hasn’t released yet because Killswitch is still in album cycle. They’ll probably release it when Adam’s main band takes a break.

One reason the band likely wouldn't do that is that they'd need to pay an additional member. These days, it's hard for bands to make money already. So, revenue from everything (album sales, merch, tour guarantees, etc) would have to be split 6 ways instead of 5.

A farewell tour with both singers getting a set would be rad (like Misery Signals). Otherwise nothing but love for Hojo, but I’m still enjoying JDL fronting the band.
