The binary codes artwork is stock images, Im at college at the minute so dont have the link but on my home computer I have it bookmarked. Its something like Arsenal Designs or something, hand drawn skulls and resources, google it. The brushing and everything is all in the same pack. Unless this dude designing their stuff IS arsenal designs then hes just using tools available to anyone for free.

The logo they have is angryblue font aswell totally unedited, you can download it from dafont.com

Their artwork does the job but its not custom or anything immense.

Im not the biggest fan of their music, but they arent a bad band. Ill check their new album out no doubt.

Yea but they’re unsigned and only have anything out really besides demos. The potential is there I think for them to get better with their music.

i only have that 2008 demo linked above, which had some pretty bad art (i know, it’s a demo…) glad to hear that future releases will look better. i’m still a sucker for good album art.

Woops sorry, I meant similar style, not level of art. And I just checked their Myspace and it’s different from the last time I saw it so my point no longer really stands haha. But still, the current artwork they have IS really good. Most likely better than would be submitted through a design contest

While CD cover contests are a great PR tool for bands, it would probably impact The Binary Code in a negative manner, because they have an INCREDIBLE artist doing their designs. If you take a look at their Myspace, their artwork is on the same level as Every Time I Die’s “New Junk Aesthetic”, which as we all know has BADASS artwork. Might be the same artist actually… I don’t know

start out right and post the album in both mp3 and flac formats please! and host a contest where readers can design the album cover.

I agree with what you said about The Binary Code.

I agree.

Then again, bands like The Binary Code, no matter how technically talented they are, just don’t do it for me. I don’t really take interest in this sudden wave of progressive death metal. Well, that, and I was listening to The Ruins of Beverast’s new album for the first time last night. It may very well render this phenomenon of progressive metal totally insignificant, it’s that good.

I only spend money on music I know I’ll be listening to over and over again. Even if I do buy digital, which is very rare for me, I always try to find a physical copy, just as long as the digital files keep me satisfied enough.

I don’t know for how long you’ve been on this site, but if you read it around three weeks ago, you’d all know that artists doesn’t really get anything out of record sales to speak of, not even when these guys are releasing it.

Technically from the industry stand point when you pay for a music download you are buying a mechanical license for the digital reproduction of the work, this does not sit well with a cd collector like myself but its the way progress has forced the old model of business to adapt.

As for The Binary Code, from what I’ve heard they are techy and interesting but nothing outstanding; I will continue to listen to them till I can solidly say whether or not I enjoy them.

I’m looking forward to this. The Binary Code is on a sick ass tour, and now they’re promoting their new material from metalsucks, all without a label. They’re from Jersey too. That show they got coming up with Periphery this thursday made me think of Periphery. Why did they sign a deal, to sumerian?!? With their talent range they can easily get on Century Media. Seemed like they were doing fine getting on Thrash and Burn Unsigned, oh well.

Maybe what the Binary Code is doing will pave an example for bands on how to approach marketing their band, diy style.

BTW, the link deathmetaldave posted is to their demo (free)

Yeah me 2, heard this same band many times but with different names. If the release is free I’ll download it, but since they mentioned nothing about price I can only imagine it’ll cost moneys, moneys I use for bongs.

haha it’s a HUGE tease, I was just looking into the Hypno5e, Revocation, and TBC tour that’s coming up then the next day I hear TBC’s new shit in the studio. I’m so ecstatic, this very well might be my favorite album of 2009

Oh those are some real deep responses, now I understand your well thought out stance on not supporting artists.
