THESYRE Issue Entire Back Catalog Available For Free Download

Canadian blackened thrash metal outfit THESYRE have issued the following statement:

“Since the release of our latest album Résistance (Osmose Productions, 2009) and after thinking for a while about the future of the band, we came to the conclusion that our priorities as a band were simple: We enjoy writing, arranging and recording music but we hate the idea of performing it onstage and on tour. We are creators, not entertainers. Also, we liked collaborating with labels over the years (and some obviously did a better job than others) but there will be no satisfying recording deals for us anymore. We're going independent!

From now on we'll be giving you free access to download our music via our website. If you feel like it, you will still be able to support us directly by buying our limited physical releases (Tape, CD, LP), merchandising items or simply making a donation after downloading.

Are we committing commercial suicide? Maybe. Who cares? We surely don't! Let's cut the middleman and reach out to the people directly. We embrace the revolution of the music industry! Ars longa, vita brevis.”
