Yeah, a lot of labels have different outlets throughout the world but the label itself was still founded the US. I guess the priority goes where the demand is.Dodens Grav wrote:Actually, I think their German office does have some type of autonomy. I own their 20th Anniversary box set that they put out, and Slagel mentions something about The Crown being one of the first bands that the German office signed. I don't know exactly how it works, though.Avenger wrote:And Metal Blade is an american label to boot...stormspell wrote:So in Germany it is available on November 18, and in North America on 01/31/2012... way to go Metal Blade!

It doesn't matter these days since the classic metal market is dead in USA and virtually all sales go to Europe. I know why it is done - it is to protect the European manufacturer since the US dollar is so low at the moment, even with shipping costs it is cheaper for Europeans to buy US products.Avenger wrote:And Metal Blade is an american label to boot...
Unfortunately this means US fans would have either to wait 4+ months, or shell crazy bucks for the European import, which really sucks.
