Daemon Forest fund campaign
Donation protected
We are a two man Black Metal band called Daemon Forest.
We recorded by ourselves the 3 track EP "Dissonant Walk", and a full length self-tittled album, that is currently available online in the various streaming services available . But we want to go further beyond what we can manage, and for that, we need your help.
Currently we need some funds in order to get a proper place to record, get the equipment needed (Microphones, Mixing Table, Cables, Patchbays, etc), and have professionals helping on such processes, and that costs money. We had a spot where we could rehearse and record, but the space owner had to close it down due to health issues on his family, where he was obliged to get a full time job, and quit on the Studio Project due to a lack of funds. Currently we have no spot to play, and we are still struggling with money since we had to come upfront with the money for the t-shirt prints, tapes and CD's for the Album. The investment is great, and we wanted to deliver the best we could. The only limit that we have is the budget, and this is why we are making this GoFundMe. You will fund exclusively the project, if you believe in it. With this, you will help us grow as a band, and in return we will ensure that we will provide the best music we can deliver.
We saw other bands doing the same (some with a fairly established fanbase, and a career of decades), and we had some backlash for doing this campaign, arguing that "we are making this to just gain some money of it", perhaps because we aren't worthy, I dunno. But we, in fact, like any artist, need money to fund our work. We need equipment, a new spot to rehearse, and maintain our instruments. We have a day-job, but if you aren't aware, Portugal doesn't have a fancy minimum wage like the rest of Europe, and the state doesn't support culture, music and other art related stuff. Only football and bullfighting. We don't have the commodities of having high end equipment, or top of the line studios, like some bands have. We had to turn down some major labels, since we don't have the money to travel, or to invest in mass prints of our work. We can only make some very limited numbered merch, since we are independent. This is the reason this GoFundMe exists, since we are only limited by money, unfortunately, and we require monetary support to fulfill our dreams as musicians.
You can check our ep at Youtube, Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Metal Archives. Also, you can order a physical copy of the EP (on tape format) at [email redacted].
