>The guy behind the band is in a really shitty situation with nuclear blast records
Bullshit. Jari isn't in any situation that he didn't put himself in. He signed a binding record contract with NBE to produce an album, that he now unwaveringly refuses to write. They gave him an advance, but that advance wasn't enough. So instead of working with what he has, managing his money well, and recouping losses with album sales and merch, like many artists much smaller than him manage to do, he has decided to sit and whine about his lack of funding. He also wants to make the record according only to his terms and specifications, including doing all the production work himself, spending over-the-top amounts of money for things in the studio that NBE doesn't want to pay for, and generally "making his own album in his own way."
The problem is, he signed a contract. He signed the contract, fully aware of its terms, and accepted the contract by affixing his signature. NBE, understandably, doesn't want Wintersun to be a black hole of money, so they cut him off (as is their right to do).
The only shitty situation is for NBE. Jari is a fuckup, and refuses to ask or use the help that is offered to him (as a major name on a major label). |
