Most Unholy Convergence III
About the Most Unholy Convergence Volume III
The Most Unholy Convergence III will be released as an exciting two disc set: A CD-ROM and a Bonus Data Disc.
Here is the coverart!
Note: At this stage we're only showing the image we'll be using, not the entire front cover!
Thanx to Raynard Stevens for coming onboard for the third time & supplying the cover image!
Have you ever wished to be on a covermount CD ov an underground 'zine but then considered the usual 100EUR outlay just a bit too expensive? Well, for just $12NZD we can offer you a similar - yet superior - promotional opportunity. Interested? If so, read on...! We are also offering royalties to the bands on the MUC III. These will accumulate for every retail copy sold. To be real about this, it isn't going to be much once it is divided up between 50 bands, but it could eventually pay back the cost ov your submission and then some!
Although the previous MUC compilations were based on 100 bands being on the disc, we have decided to reduce this to 50 for the MUC III. The main reasons being that the Mp3 files will be higher quality & the time it takes to acquire the submissions will be massively hastened, as we found it was the last half ov the submissions that took the longest on the previous releases. 50 bands is still hours & hours ov listening! And then ov course the Bonus Data Disc content will make this even longer!
However the most important thing we consider about the MUC III (and this is a new improvement to the MUC concept) is that Satanica will produce a Special Edition version ov the CD-ROM section, that will be given away free to every Satanica customer! As you might know we always send our customers an extra bonus with their purchases and currently the MUC2 Special Edition has been fulfilling this role. This will be replaced by the MUC III once it is finished. Just think about it, there is no better promotion than physically putting a track ov your music into hands ov a potential fan. This is like getting on a fanzine's cover mount CD, but for a fraction ov the cost, and better because their is no limit to how many copies will be sent out!
One thing that will not change from the MUC2 is that all tracks will be professionally mastered. This really helped the MUC2 be superior to the MUC1 as it meant primarily that their was an even track-to-track volume and basic EQ structure despite the disparities that exist between recordings on the underground! This is extremely important if the MUCs are going to find their way into frequent listening in people's car CD players etc.
The instructions below ensure that all submissions are ov the correct audio format. This is important as the MUC compilations are to be compatible with Mp3 CD players, DVD players as well as computers. Doing it this way allows us to check the file ov each band as it arrives and convert it if necessary. However, if you have any problems we are certain to be able to help you. :)
We don't need postal address at this stage as we will email everyone when the compilation is released to ensure we have a current address.
