Metal and hard rock label Season Of Mist have announced that they have decided to delay the physical releases of their immediate albums in the wake of restrictions and complications arising from the Coronavirus pandemic. Digital releases will still go ahead as planned however. The label said in a statement:
“Season of Mist IMPORTANT update:
So far, the lockdown hasn’t affected our warehouses in the US and France yet and remain OPEN for the time being.
We don’t know for how long, so if you plan on getting music to keep you company for the next month or so, do it now! According to the latest news, we will still be able to ship all our orders this week. We have two teams rotating, so in case one gets quarantined, another one will take its place.
We will ship until we’re told we can’t.
About release dates : we’ll keep on releasing new albums as planned, digitally. Because in time of war, disease & uncertainty, Nextflix is certainly not enough.
So we decided to keep releasing music digitally. We’ll delay all our physical release dates, but our eshop customers will get a download code, and streaming will go live as planned.
Music as Catharsis, more than ever.
And our next release is called Medico Peste…”
