Our new video for Abiosis has been released!
To celebrate were having a contest for the month of June.
GRAND PRIZE: One lucky Estrum fan will win a custom engraved 8GB iPod Touch loaded with all of our songs in 24 bit format, (256x the resolution of CD!) both of our videos on DVD, an Estrum T-Shirt, an Autographed CD, and 3 posters.
Second and Third place: An Autographed CD, an Estrum T-shirt 3 posters, and a DVD of the videos.
10 runners up will win an Autographed copy of our new album A Comforting Psychosis.
THE CONCEPT:
As an independent band, Estrum relies almost solely on our fans to spread the word about our music and videos. At least for now you won't be seeing our video on MTV or Fuse so we need your help to get the video seen by as many people as possible!
The fan who posts our video on the most websites within the month of June will receive the Grand Prize of an iPod Touch! These websites can be MySpace page comments, Facebook, forums, whatever!
THE RULES:
1. The contest will run from June 1st through June 30th 2008.
2. Websites will be given points from 1 to 5 based on their popularity at Estrum's discretion. Most postings including a comment on a MySpace page will equal 1 point. Placing the video on a popular Metal forum will be as much as 5 points. We'll give 50 bonus points for getting us on Headbanger's Ball! haha.
3. At the end of each day email a list of links to all of the pages that you posted the video on to EstrumJuneContest@Gmail.com. The video doesn't have to remain on the page for more than one day. But any given page will only be counted once during June! So please don't post on the same page multiple times.
4. Don't do anything dumb like Google our video and send us links to other people's postings. We will find out and disqualify you!
5. Please use caution and taste! Don't spam random people with the video. Try to send it to folks who might be interested in checking it out.
Any and all disputes will be handled at Estrum's discretion!
If you'd like some hints on how to get the video out to as many people as possible, please email me at:
RufussSewell@Gmail.com
Every day we'll post the results of the top fans so you can see what you're up against!
Thank you! We love you! With any luck this will help us to fund a tour and we'll be seeing you in your home town soon!!!
UPDATE:June is finally over and thus we have a winner for our June video contest! But first I just wanted to thank everyone who has helped us spread the word about our new video! As an independent band we truly rely on our wonderful fans to let the world know about Estrum! We couldn't do it without you!!!
So far in just one month we've already gotten over 4,000 plays on youtube!
