#130: Unsigned Band Review and Thy Art is Murder Finances

Back by popular demand, "One Minute to Midnight," in
which veteran musician and producer Eyal Levi lends his ear
and expertise to two unsigned bands who submitted music for us to
pick apart. We give Hasta La Muerte and With Silent Eyes some
creative direction and tips and tricks that could make their music
better.  Last week Derek Brewer of Outerloop Management
wrote an Op-Ed piece for MetalSucks on Thy Art is Murder
vocalist CJ McMahon's claim that he wasn't making enough money to
live on. We invited Derek on the show to talk a little
more in depth about the budgeting numbers he listed, why they'
don't apply to everyone and what you can really expect as a
growing band out there on the road. In light of Myrkur mastermind
Amalie Bruun's decision to cut her social media presence due to
death threats from, as she puts it, "mainly American men," we
discuss why these men might have problems with women, or at
least women who somehow threaten their sexuality and dominance over
the music industry. Are our collective penises so small we need to
assault all that we don't like with violence? Why are some of us so
obsessed and feel the need to take it to that level?
