I'm tempted to agree with a poster on Blabbermouth about this situation. When they don't sell like, 1 Million copies or whatever, they'll drop them like a bad habit, I think. It took awhile to get Killswitch Engage to the mainstream, and they still haven't hit their peak in popularity (IMO). I don't believe KsE was signed to a minor label like Century Media, though. Haven't they always been on Roadrunner? Anyways, discuss. What label would you like to see Shadows Fall sign on to? I'm hoping Roadrunner.
What Shadows Fall needs to do is to do what Eighteen Visions did...18V signed a deal with Epic Records, yet their main big label is still on Trustkill. SF needs to stay on Century Media and sign a small deal with a major label...that'd be a good idea
Correct me If I'm wrong, but how is Eighteen Visions 'main big label' Trustkill, when Epic is bigger than Trustkill? Or am I totally crazy?

[/b][/quote] I think what they probably meant was that Trustkill is the record company that everyone knows they're signed to. Like on the music video for "Waiting for the Heavens", I dont believe it says Epic on it, I think it says "Trustkill".

Yet... [/b][/quote] Sad to say, Epitaph wouldn't go near a band with as much force as Shadows Fall...they're only interested in punk bands

RR is independent too. Signing to major will ruin them. I can bet on that, the only really heavy band that hasn't screwed up on major label yet is Lamb Of God.
