RE: Great White North Records, De Mysteriis Records, CD Plus, Mayhem

LINK: http://www.gwnrecords.com/releases.html

Here is the link to the official Great White Records Promotional page....these are the releases that were heading to CD Plus / Urban Sound Exchange in Canada and The End Records / BMG Rights Management if  it was today, before it was Sony RED and Caroline Records Distribution and them.

What I mean about the release schedule is that Mayhem was release at CD Plus first in like 1998, that's when Great White North Records opened in Montreal which was a huge promotion outside of that label at the other labels, stores and distributors.

Then by 2006 my album was out "Collapse - Destroying By Design" and Great White North Records was releasing albums on "De Mysteriis Records" while Mayhem was in the import section of the heavy metal section and were like $35 a CD back then.

When our record came out it was supposed to be sold back at CD Plus with Mayhem in the import section as a Canadian release and US Release on separate distributors. 

Then Great White Records opened a  Black Metal label and only released two albums on "De Mysteriis Records" to sign Mayhem and them for Canadian album release in the local metal section with my album at CD Plus / Urban Sound Exchange.

So they wanted the $16.99 sale at the CD Plus / Urban Sound Exchange for the Canadian release of the Mayhem and Norway Black Metal Albums, then the label was named after Mayhem.

I'm not sure if big black metal bands wanted to be on that, a label named after Mayhem, but it was larger distribution than them in the import section for new bands.

Anyway, "De Mysteriis Records" was an attempt to sign Black Metal bands for release at CD Plus and Urban Sound Exchange off carrying the Official Norway Bands in the import metal section.

Great White North Records releases at the store were only going to be $16.99 compared to import black metal cd's at $35 each.

So I decided to buy the name back and make it official and restart the Montreal promotion we were doing at CD Plus at the time, that was the Black Metal scene and that at the Raves up in Montreal where we were playing at.

"De Mysteriis Records" for the magazine in Montreal was supposed to be for the cosplay dress up people at the raves and black metal shows in Montreal then they were getting Mayhem and them playing.

Then that black metal promotion was big at CD Plus / Urban Sound Exchange and advertised in all the LGBT magazines in Montreal and France.

Most of the metal magazines were in French.

That's CD Plus / Urban Sound Exchange rave scene in Montreal, like at the old big HMV in Montreal, that releases techno and dance music as well as Black Metal for dress up raves and stuff or whatever where we were working and playing at.

So I restarted the names and am continuing with that to go with my Urban Sound Exchange / A & A Records Digital Pages because they are part of the inventory list for the restart and that's what I carry at my record store concert promotion when it's open.

So today the same as before....

If I opened a retail store and carried Black Metal Mayhem might be an import cd or lp at it...my label on "De Mysteriis Records" would be locally carried for $16.99 as a new release because it is the same store but there are no bands on the local distribution label yet in Canada like "De Mysteriis Records".

Also visit my new promotion page for the Montreal page etc. at http://www.record.singles which I am promoting at Great White North Records in Montreal. 

Eidt, people asked me about this...all kinds of people are back working there at the outside promotions that distributed the rave and metal stuff back in 2000, they said they lost access to materials like poster prints and stuff etc...that is all back and what were are working on, the it's the same store like CD Plus Online.

(Hahahahaha everyone said that CD Plus is Record.singles now.)

Then the concerts and raves for the shows are in downtown Montreal for their promotions off my old one from CD Plus.
