"Anyone following the label closely probably heard we were going to have East/West Distribution via Warner Bros. and I am writing this to let everyone know that as of last night we ended that. Why would we end that is what you would probably ask? The answer is simple, Seventh Dagger is something I have worked on for the last almost 7 years and I saw this deal being the end of the label as it was and is. I saw this as trading the underground status and soul of the label for the potential to sell more CDs and let's face it if I was here to make money I would have left a long time ago.
