A BIG DAY FOR SOILWORK; FULL ALBUM STREAM AND A FREE T-SHIRT

Major labels, pay attention: THIS is how you treat your fans right. Century Media announced today — almost two full weeks before the proper release of Soilwork’s new album Sworn to a Great Divide — that not only is the full album available for streaming for the next 8 days on the band’s MySpace page, but for a limited time you can purchase the CD+DVD edition of the new album together with an exclusive Soilwork t-shirt all for the amazingly low price of $16! This deal is available only through CM Distro.

How’s that for a reward for being a loyal fan? A hell of a lot better than the ass-raping Sire Records imposed on HIM fans by charging them $3 for a fucking music video (!!). Sure as fuck beats suing the piss out of your customers. Hell, it’s a way better deal than the criminally high $18.99 price tags most releases have in major retail outlets. Seriously, what are the majors thinking? Cut your goddamned payroll, fire your know-nothing, suit-wearing execs and get used to making less money already.
