Toronto Metal Band Smoulder to Release New Album | Custom Band Merch Ideas April 10 2019

If you are into metal and/or the Toronto music scene, we have a recommendation for you. One of the perks of making band buttons is getting to hear music we might not otherwise know about. That is how we came to learn about Smoulder, a Toronto-based metal band that has some new music coming out. And yes, you should check them out. 

The album is called Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring and is available for pre-order now. We don't wanna be too pushy here, but they have a bunch of cool band merch that is available if you pre-order the album, and some of the exclusive pre-order bundles are already sold out. 

The custom 1.25" buttons we made featuring their album cover are one of the items available as part of the bundles. But there are t-shirts, vinyl records and patches among the other band merch. 

Smoulder describes themselves as "epic power doom in the tradition of Tales of Medusa, Gates of Slumber, and Solitude Aeternus" and they feature a great female lead singer.

The band's album sales strategy is a great one.

You want to be able to offer you fans - especially fans that are prepared to pre-order your stuff - something special.

Band buttons - 1-inch and 1.25" are wthe sizes we recommend - are super affordable band merchandise that fans are into. You can give them away with album sales and you can also sell them at shows.

Reach out if this is something you are thinking about and we can best guide you. The album design for Smoulder is awesome and detailed so the 1.25" gave them a bit more room to display the artwork, but often the 1" works better for other designs.
