I was under the impression that while streaming was garbage for money that touring was the cash cow. Apparently it’s a loss for these artists.

why you do this - a self documentary from car bomb on why people still make music/tour despite monetary hardship.

There are tech death musicians out there that give some classical composers a run for their money that still have day jobs, mostly in computer programming of some kind.

(side note : turns out that technical death metal appeals to the same kind of people that enjoy working on applied mathematics. who could have guessed)
