Media Campaigns:

We have approximately 1200 radio and print media outlets worldwide to ship product too. All of our contacts are constantly being updated and confirmed so we are pretty sure they are legitimate. The majority of our contacts favor prog rock and metal but we also work with blues, fusion, industrial, gothic and modern art rock. About 1/6 of these work with faithbased music exclusively. The rest don't care what faith perspective the music is as long as it's good stuff. The majority of our contacts are in Europe, North America, South America and Austrailia. We can break down a campaign to whatever you want: geographically, by station format, the best profiles, whatever you want.

If you have already started a media campaign, we'll work the addresses you sent to as well, even if they aren't currently in our database, so long as you provide them. Of course this is within reason. The bigger the campaign you do with us, the more additional contacts we will take on. This is something we will work out in advance.

We will work with any quality metal bands- prog, melodic, or classic. We also have a great reputation for decent AOR and prog rock bands. We love guitar hero rock/metal. We do well with edgy folk & Americana artists as well. We don't require the bands we do media promotions for to have a faith perspective, but we do however expect all music to have a positive value. Faithbased music media is mostly a conservative group of people. In order for us to do a campaign there, you must have some folks in your band that verbally embrace the Christian faith and your music is clean and inspirational.

If you use us for your next media campaign, we will be sending you a media report every week or two. We will act as your media liaison- we'll try to get interviews for you and and communicate news about your band back to the media for you.

We are the hardest working and least expensive company out there doing promotions. We charge $5 per CD we mail to the media. This fee includes us shipping the CDs to the media plus covering the CD for up to a year. There are no extra fees unless of course we have to ship more items out, such as additional singles or remixes.

The best place to start, is to come up with a budget of what you want to spend on a campaign. Then we will help you to figure out the best stations for your project. We can do all 1200 or a minimum of 25 stations.

In addition we can provide media with an electronic version of your project through a secure FTP web site. This is a place only approved media can access. We change the passwords every month to keep it secure. The cool thing is that we offer your CD there along with the others we are promoting, so as we promote other projects, yours will be available with theirs. We share each other's interests. The fee for this is only $100 per 3 months. You can put your whole project there along with your one sheet, bio, supporting photos and other relevant things within reason of course. This price is going up soon, so act now.

If you own a label, we will give you a big discount for multiple shipments. We will only work with prog rock and prog metal labels that put out quality material. We work with both start up labels and those that have been around forever.

We reserve the right to reject any artist for promotions for any reason. We do not work with pop, pop rock, hip-hop or dance music unless it is really good and off the beaten path.

Radio Sampler:

Only the best of what would be considered art rock.  Could be any style folk, blues, jazz, metal, experimental, industrial, gothic, symphonic, etc…  Art rock is anything that is thoughtful both musically and/or lyrically.  All music is required to have an inspirational focus.  Inspirational does not mean happy or sappy.  We simply mean inspiring.  The main purposes for this compilation is for radio promotions.  All songs should be clean, without profanity.

• This is a licensing deal to use your song for a limited run of CDs. You will keep full ownership of the song.
• We’ll make 1000 copies at Disc Makers or a better replication company.  Post production mastering w/ EQ.   Will include Full color 12-page booklet in standard jewel case.  1 page dedicated to your band.  We will get a visual/graphic artist (painter) to design front cover and overall theme.  These will be limited edition, highly collectable releases.  They will have a bar code.
• 50 copies for each band & the visual artist to sell or giveaway.
• 500 for media promotions.  Shipped out worldwide to media outlets, focusing on reviewing the CD & drawing attention to the auctions.
• 20-signed copies (each band member signs their page and the visual artist signs the front or back), 1 copy for each band, the visual artist and Silent Planet Promotions.  10 copies to auction off at eBay to raise money for a charity.  Each band, the visual artist & Silent Planet Promotions will pick a charity of their choice.
• Silent Planet Promotions will not be selling copies, just the bands and the visual artist who are chosen for the sampler.  None will be sold to retail.
• You pay $800 for up to 10 minutes.  This is ideal since most art rock is longer. We'll also add a second disc for radio edit(s) in which each artist will have the chance of putting as many edits of the song on the second disc which would total no more than 10 minutes.

We need at least 8 artists to make this project work. Once again, this will only include better art rock. No garage bands or low IQ bands will be accepted. We are looking for fine musical art.
