Totschläger - a word on the delivery...
1. THE MEDIABOOK CDs
are on the way from the pressing plant to the WTC warehouse and should arrive THERE (not in your postbox!) this week.
The Mediabooks will be distributed according to your order:
if you combined the CD with zipper, shirt or other items, shipping depends on these.
2. THE LP EDITION
Due to today´s practice of „outsourcing“ (booklet, vinyl and cover aren´t produced at one factory), the first pressing comes in two batches.
During the huge demand and to avoid chaos, the pre-sales stopped for a few days, but will continue now!
The first batch should be on the way and arrive at the WTC warehouse this week (if corona lockdown or christmas business hasn´t overloaded the carrier´s capacities).
The second batch of the first press will arrive around 17th january, according to the pressing plant.
Soon afterwards, late january, is also the time when the edition´s remaining copies will surface in some webshops. then the whole edition is sold out and most probably won´t be repressed immediately. (To guarantee perfect quality, new stampers should be made for every new pressing, otherwise the stampers get worn out and the quality deteriorates). Other projects are then realised first.
CONCLUSION: THE BIRTH OF TRAGEDY FROM THE SPIRIT OF MUSIC
Do not hold WTC responsible for pressing plant & parcel carrier processing time! We have seen some utterly disrespectful emails. Such behaviour is unacceptable.
We have put many months of work into this album, years maybe, all our energy, sweat and even some blood and a piece of our soul is captured within it! Then, the greatest effort has been made to create the best possible CD and LP version, quality wise.
As a BM outfit in these days, if you don´t play by the rules and tour the world, play festivals, exploit the 90s nostalgia in a shameful way, flood the market with unnecessary gimmicks and most of all, if you don´t compromise, then the money earned with music is not even a drop in the ocean.
We make albums that should accompany the listener for years, for decades even, and create a world you could enter again and again. Great albums can be used to escape daily life and serve as a powerful well, providing you with that energy that has been put into it.
Therefore, it´s unbearable hearing about such emails of people who think „the customer is king“ just because they payed 20 Euro, and who start to sh*t-talk because they do not understand what the word „pre-sale“ means.
If you show no respect, go to hell and meet us there!
As Euronymous said: „Our art is not for everyone. It´s no fastfood product for the masses. People should prove they are worthy to own it!“
