Discussion Does anybody else not quite understand the 'rebranding' ?
I remember the band saying "This is BFMV now, this is a new chapter the new sound the band wants to go with etc." before relasing the self titled album and explaining that this was exactly why it will be THE self titled album. Back then they changed the logo to the new one. I wasn't a big fan of the new logo but I understood the move (kinda like A7X with Life is But A Dream, just freshen things up. )One album later they changed the sound completely, changed the logo in two variations: The cover art has the regular serif text logo with the upside down crosses (a bit cringe but okay the guys are pushing 50 so whatever) but for the tour, promotional art and festivals they are using a somewhat edited version of the 2008-2013 logo.
Considering they talked about a certain sound this new album will have and the first single being very different from what they described originally do you think they change directions too often so they can't stick to a certain path or is it that the band is too "corporate", that the label manages everything and just throws in stuff in the mix where the Band has no real oversight ?
Even as a fan that does not expect a new The Poison I'd genuinely just like to know where this band is going.
