Advice for a new metal band: MARKETING!!!

I'm often asked for my advice on what a new metal band should do in terms of marketing strategy, and here's my answer: DON'T!

A few things I touch on in this video:

- Why you should NOT worry about marketing, advertising or really even social media until you have "product market fit" with your music

- My thoughts on how to write great metal songs (drawn from the class I did at CreativeLive with Eyal Levi, Todd Jones of Nails, Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter, Hugh Myrone and John Browne of Monuments)

- Why the core of great metal songs (and the antidote to "riff salad") is tension & release and theme & variation

- What bands like Killswitch Engage have in common with Calvin Harris and other mainstream EDM

- How to know when it's time to think about things like Facebook ads or YouTube ads for your band
