In marketing, POSITIONING has come to mean the process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds of their target market for its product, brand, or organization. Re-positioning involves changing the identity of a product, relative to the identity of competing products, in the collective minds of the target market. In simpler words, positioning means changing position of your product on the market, in this case: your band. With us you can make your band more known to: fans, labels, booking agents, promoters, music journalists, members of other bands etc.

How does it work? We offer you 12 week long positioning campaign, during which we will help you to analyze and understand situation of your band, we will teach you how to generate interest around your band, we will show you strong and weak points of your band, we will help you to plan next steps.

You have new album out, or going on tour? We can also offer you complete PRESS PROMOTION campaign, which we usually offer to labels. Not only we will present your album or tour to most important magazines, webzines and radios in Europe, but we will also generate additional interest around it, and we will design professional promo materials such as press adverts or flyers.

We definitely know what a serious band needs - here is a short list of what we can offer you as well:
- you can record and produce your album, demo, or single song with us (scroll down for details)
- we can help you to find artwork for your release, artist who will design booklet of your release, merchandise, etc.
- we can find for you sessions musicians (for example: need a symphonic intro for your live show?)
- we can help you to find a label which will release your album
- we can help you to push the band into the next level (image, compositions).

Management and booking - two mystical and magical words! Yes, we can take care of your management and booking. If you feel that your band's necessary next step is finding a manager, or you feel that your band's position is already strong enough that it's all too much for you to play and manage the band the same time, then let's talk. Our experience is now available for you, anytime and anywhere, 24/7.

If you need to hire experienced stage manager, tour manager, band host or stage crew: please contact us as well.

If you are serious about your band, then you already know that it's impossible to do professional and good sounding recordings at your home, and sooner or later you will need to enter PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO. Not only we offer you this opportunity, but also we offer you top quality, experience and professional attitude, comfortable conditions, and low prices. Ask for calculation of your project! [ HERE ]

With us you can record and produce your material from A to Z - be it album, demo, single or EP - or we can mix provided tracks, do mastering or re-mastering, record the tracks you need etc. We are flexible! We specialize in all kinds of METAL and ROCK music: with us you can have modern, heavy and brutal sound, old school production (we record real drums) and... everything in between!
