DANZIG SIGNS MULTI-ALBUM AGREEMENT FOR NORTH AMERICA WITH E-MAGINE ENTERTAINMENT

DANZIG'S NEW ALBUM '6:66 SATAN'S CHILD' TO BE RELEASED ON E-MAGINE THROUGH HIS OWN IMPRINT EVILIVE

Date: New York, August 1999

E-Magine Entertainment, an Internet centric music company, has signed an exclusive five-year licensing agreement with the dark father of 90s Hard Rock, Glenn Danzig.

The deal includes Danzig's '6:66 Satan's Child,' his first new studio release in exactly three years. The album will have a retail release date of November 2nd and will be distributed through ADA distribution. In advance of that, it will be available for core fans throughout October on E-Magine's website www.emaginemusic.com, as well as Danzig's website www.danzig-verotik.com. The album will be accompanied by an extensive online marketing campaign in an effort to maximize setup for retail. E-Magine emphasizes the importance of including retail in its Internet marketing efforts and plans to continue stimulating demand for records after their initial street date through interactive communication between fans, artists and distributors.

Danzig's long-awaited 6th album will be released through his own imprint, Evilive. The deal between E-Magine Entertainment and Danzig includes a profit sharing arrangement which is considerably more profitable to Danzig than customary in standard artist agreements.

E-Magine Entertainment believes this deal to be a potential landmark for future artist agreements. In addition to press, TV, and radio, E-Magine Entertainment believes that the utilization of the Internet as the 4th marketing instrument for music, will reduce the initial marketing costs to reach core fans. This reducton will favor the artists by curtailing their burden to carry and recoup these costs. E-Magine will enable digital downloading of the album on www.emaginemusic.com in various compression formats, and its overall Internet marketing efforts, such as free streaming of selected songs, will create a buzz within the core fan community that will stimulate demand at retail.

The agreement includes a substantial part of Danzig's catalog, totaling more than ten recordings by Danzig, including a long-awaited Samhain Box Set and Danzig's 5th album 'Blackacidevil,' which was previously released by Hollywood Records. A full-length album to contain previously unreleased cuts from Danzig 1 through 5, a re-release of the out-of-print classical Glenn Danzig 'Black Aria,' plus a new 'Black Aria'-type record are to come in the year 2000, as well as a re-release of the critially-aclaimed 'Sacrifice Remix EP' by Foetus (J.G. Thirwell), which will include at least four additional mixes, and finally a double live album (including a video release), which will include all the hits.

The new Danzig, '6:66 Satan's Child,' features 12 new tracks and is produced by Glenn Danzig and Peter Lorimer. The album is engineered by Josh Abraham (Orgy, Coal Chamber, Korn) and features seven tracks mixed by J. Gordon and Amir Derakh, both of Orgy.

Says Danzig: "I am very happy to once again be free of the standard record industry bull****. I am looking forward to the association of my own imprint Evilive with Christoph Rueker's E-Magine. I have worked with Christoph in the past and have tremendous respect for him not only as record company executive, but also for his artist relations skills; I look forward to being one of his first artists with his new company".

Christoph Ruecker, who previously headed BMG Entertainment International's marketing department is Co-President of E-Magine Entertainment. He states: "I am extremely happy to launch E-Magine's activities with an artist as respected and successful as Danzig. He has it all - the highest credibility in the rock community, an extremely dedicated fan community, and an excellent new album that ranks right up there with his previous successes. All of these qualities will help prove that the fundamentals in the music business are changing in the direction of more artist-friendly contracts and more creative and cost effective marketing."
