Hard music band Blindside talk about their disappointment with Atlantic/Elektra.

SWEDEN's hard music band Blindside spoke recently to HM magazine about their departure from Atlantic/Elektra Records to DRT Entertainment. Said lead singer Christian Lindskog, "Selling over a quarter million albums was a tremendous achievement for us. Those numbers meant nothing to the executives at Atlantic. They simply didn't care about this band. Their feelings about this band became quite evident to us when they stopped marketing our record once we were shifted over to them. Our album continued to chart in the Top 40 because our fans went out and bought the record. We all felt as a group that there was no way we were going to relive that type of experience with a new record. We had to get away before we slipped completely off their radar screen."
