How the hell did Dragonforce suddenly fall into the hands of Metalcore Emo kids everywhere? That one stumps me every damn time I think about it.
I think thats Metal Hammer and Kerrangs doing, freaks me out too.
But, dammit, why Dragonforce? Do these magazines randomly pick obscure band names from a bowl or what?
Freaky indeed. :(
I know first hand from people in the music industry that the record companies pay for every bit of review and interview space in all of those type of mags. My thoery on why the Road Runner has hyped DF rather then other better PM act is
1. They are young (for a PM band) and youth sells.
2. From England, has a tradition of exporting bands to the US, and the Record company wants to cash in on this the biggest market in the world.
3. Because of their speed. A easy selling point, as well as their talents on the guitar.
It really annoys me to know that some guy in a suit somewhere is deciding what the masses listens to, rather then the people writing the reviews.
