SNOWY SHAW Inks Exclusive Deal With Mailorder Giant
October 27, 2014, 10 years ago
Snowy Shaw has announced that he has signed an exclusive European deal with the biggest European mailorder company EMP for the sale of his Live DVD/CD double pack release The Liveshow: 25 Years Of Madness In The Name Of Metal.
Snowy Shaw about this exclusive deal : "We have just signed an exclusive deal with the mighty EMP, the biggest mailorder company in Europe by far. With my brand new Live DVD/CD Box we are the first band/artist ever to do so and I'd be lying to you if I'd say I didn't feel a sense of 'Fuck yeah!' as I like to think of myself as the breaker of rules and stinky old conventions. Then I learnt I was actually preceded by my former employer King Diamond and Mercyful Fate so you could say it runs in the family, but nevertheless in this day and age, it's all about thinking out of the box. As a dissident misfit I always have been, so you can't force me into that box, but you can now go ahead and order my brand new Live DVD/CD Box The Liveshow: 25 Years Of Madness In The Name Of Metal. Happy Halloween!"
The Live DVD/CD has been released through Wunderwurld Music, Snowy's new label/production company.
The Liveshow DVD/CD includes more than three hours of amazing, high quality material, recorded on two special theatrical shows, and featuring very special guests from King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Memento Mori, Illwill, Opera Diabolicus and Snowy's backing band featuring lead guitarist Kristian Niemann (Therion), Mannequin De Sade III (Notre Dame, Engel), Mark U Black (Dream Evil) and Vikki Valkyrie (Ice Age). The Liveshow has a one of a kind track listing, as except playing own originals, Snowy Shaw performed with his band all his personal favorites from his former bands, incl. classics such as "Eye Of The Witch", "Halloween" and "Sleepless Nights" (King Diamomd), "Evil" and "Black Funeral" (Mercyful Fate), "The Book Of Heavy Metal" (Dream Evil), "To Mega Therion" (Therion) or "The Serpentine Offering" (Dimmu Borgir) and a helluva lot more, in a truly theatrical way.
