Black Market Activities Signs Distribution/Artist Development Deal with Good Fight

by | May 10, 2011

Black Market Activities, the label run by The Red Chord frontman Guy Kozowyk, has announced a distribution and artist development deal with Good Fight Entertainment.

“This deal marks an exciting new chapter for BMA,” Kozowyk comments. “When we were out searching for a new distro deal, working with Good Fight just felt right for everybody involved. I have known those guys through the scene for years and I have so much respect and admiration for everything they have done with every avenue of their companies. They have been extremely open and responsive to several new progressive ideas we have brought to the table, which is very important since the music industry is changing so rapidly. Among those ideas is that of functioning on a more limited model — the idea that, in this age of digital music, there’s still a place for CDs and vinyl, it’s just on a more limited, ‘collector’s item’ basis.”

“As a music fan, I’m the type of person who wants to read the layout cover to cover and have the artwork and lyrics in my music collection. With many of our upcoming releases, we will be issuing limited runs of CDs and colored vinyl with download cards for those of you, like me, who want the physical product. There will be limited shirt and music package deals in our webstore and, of course, the albums will be available digitally. Thank you for your continued support of BMA, our artists and of all extreme music. And a huge thank you to all at Metal Blade for all of their help in making our artists available for the past seven years.”
