Hello, we are Iron Savage. We are a young American band that is seeking promotion. We play a combination of Power Metal(Fates Warning, Helloween, Jag Panzer) and Bay Area-styled Thrash Metal(Metallica, Exodus, Forbidden), with Traditional Metal and classical guitar influences. We formed a long time ago in out early teens and released one demo, with a sound very much in the vein of Iron Maiden and Angel Witch. Due to personal reasons, we took a hiatus and the future was very uncertain. Now we have decided to give the band another shot, we have bigger ambitions, a more evolved(and indeed a heavier, faster and more melodic) sound, and high hopes for ourselves. We releases the "Hell Rising" single for sampling pleasure, and hope that we can make an impact on metal fans the world over. |

Hey guys, nice to see new talent on the music scene! If you're looking for a label, then try the one that my band Infinite is signed to; Hot Eye Records. Of course, there's Studio 60 and Junction Records. Just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps!

I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope." - Stephen King |

You should release an EP or two on your own. Thats how my band Suburban Sunrise did it. We released an EP and BAM! We had labels wanting to sign us

Also, a label isn't necessary. None of our six artists are currently signed to a label, only two ever have been, and yet we have some great successes here.
Concentrate on the music, not the promotion, and you'll get much further.
