What kind of marketing issues are you having?  

All of them. Mostly lack of money at the moment but that will change soon.

Getting yourself out there is hard.  I sold around 2k cds in parking lots and still never got noticed lol. Of course you have a slight advantage there as you are targeting a niche group that tends to be very supportive. 

I'm not targeting juggalos because I don't want to be cornered into one culture. That puts a glass ceiling over my head.

Have you ever tried hitting up local shows as a opener,  or just going to a local hororcore show and handing out your shit with an email,  facebook or YouTube stamped to it? 

Nope.

I mean what are your ultimate goals?

To be the very best. The best there ever was.

From my point of view you work hard on the music but you seem standoffish promoting yourself. 

Pretty much. I'm a hard working music maker but a lazy promoter. I just need a battle plan or a clue on that front.

I mean you got jiffy and kotton Kandy and warlock shoving shit down people's throats while you make a thread and just stay put. Be persistent.

I don't think Jiffy does that. But I don't do that because it gets annoying. I feel as though it doesn't change how much attention my music gets.

Further on the subject of self promotion you help other artists less skilled then you and get barely any recognition for it. You are an aggressive poster but your business savy fucks you hard. Try being an aggressive self promoter, use others to help promote you.

I'm in the works of doing that. I also stopped helping artists unless I respect the art. Like Jiffy, I feel that he's on to something. He's definitely had the most growth out of anybody here.

You say you don't want opinions but what if your overall review is good on a top fucking Juggalo site? Would only help your marketing. 

I don't see that helping. Unless multiple people are praising the shit out of it like with Post Mortem Boredom. Warlock got an official review that was positive about one of his songs and... well hasn't done much of anything since then.

Besides I am not going to outright flame you guys work.  If I feel it needs work I will tell you personally the specifics and your rating will reflect the specifics.  

I know how it works, I know what you are going to do. Review me or interview or Revinterview me or what ever if you truly want to.

However I am not going to say on a public review that you suck and trash you.  

You can.

The goal is to help you ultimately.  If you want marketing advice I got tons.  But we can talk about that shit here or PM. Ultimately get your face out there people connect with you more.  Every idiot and his momma have a YouTube and facebook but to get true fans you have to get out there.   

But how do I know your advice is legit?

It took me a few days but I finished the album last night. My favorite thing is lucem isn't afraid to let the beat ride for a while. Most music now is basically verse hook verse. 

As someone who listens to a lot of classic rock where 4 minute guitar solos are common, I really dig that.

Plus the album is dark as fuck. Another plus  

Thank you. I do think I might need to change up the formula, it's almost becoming predictable.
