It's not particularly difficult - I would say you need a fair bit of money, the right band and contacts. This next stage of promoting the album will be interesting, I'll get to learn who exactly are the dickheads in the industry. I have heard stories about zines only giving good reviews to labels who pay for advertising etc....
Myrddraal have been great in more respects than just recording a killer album - they know their way around Photoshop so they did all the layout themselves and Katie Orr did the excellent album cover. This makes things a lot easier.
About touring... I've signed an exclusive deal with Frontier touring and Myrddraal will play the Entertainment Centre supporting Pantera. They will also tour Europe and the US playing with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Umm... No, we should have something figured out sometime soon.
You coming back to Sydney in two years? Hmmm, I might be looking for a business partner...
