Neshiima - Beware of Gifts EP
Donation protected
Hi everyone and welcome to our Go Fund Me project for our new Concept EP - "Beware of Gifts".
We are Neshiima. A 5 piece metal band from Glasgow. This project is to help us fund all aspects of our new release. This set for 28th August 2015.
"Beware of Gifts" is a concept release based on an existing story from Japanese mythology - "Urashima Taro". This tale of god-like beings and their relationships with seemingly mortal beings emphasises key emotions that are apparent in the cycle of human life.
The lyrics and artwork throughout this EP are inspired by the story, which will be visually portrayed in a limited edition comic.
*Each purchase of an EP or Comic will also receive a digital copy of the comic.
Various aspects of this release project that require funding are:
- Production
- Recording
- Mixing/Mastering
- Digital Distribution
- Promotion
- Relevant PR work
- Music Video(s)
- Release Launch show
- Merchandise
- Themed clothing
- CD Duplication
- Artwork/Comic
- Artist Fee
- Production/Printing
Unlike some funding projects, this one does not offer specified incentives for donations. However, we do want to reward our pledgers! Those who know Neshiima will know that we don't take ourselves too seriously... so check out some of the fun incentives below!
To pledge to this project, simply have a look at the list below, pick what reward you want and donate to the cause! We will be in touch via email to each pledger to organise the delivery or terms of your pledge.
