I've still got faith in these labels. At the end of the day they are quality labels packed with quality artists who can produce the goods.

I think they are trying to keep their sound German, trying to keep their sound well clear of anything Italian sounding. And this is why a few of the releases have been rather light and somewhat commercial.
They've got to beef-up the Traditional german riffs and melodies ( so it stays clear of anything commercial sounding but also stays clear of the Italian sound aswell) And maybe use some harder Kicks.....like Uberdruck's or in the new A*S*Y*S Tune.
