Free Metal Music PR panel with Metal Blade and Prosthetic Records Set for November 12

Haulix Live

Two of the biggest names in metal today are coming together for a music publicity panel, and we have all the details you need to know. This is one Haulix LIVE! event you cannot miss.

If there is anything to learn from the age of COVID-19, aside from the need for personal hygiene, it is the importance of connection. Human beings are not meant to live in isolation. We need relationships as much as we need air in our lungs and water in our cups. Friendships are the key to everything, including happiness and success, which explains why these long periods without human interaction are so tricky. Haulix LIVE! is not a perfect solution, but it has the potential to keep us connected until life as we knew it resumes.

On Thursday, November 12, two of the most successful publicists in metal today appear on Haulix LIVE! to discuss their careers and the role PR plays in musicians’ success. Join us as Becky Laverty (Prosthetic Records) and Vince Edwards (Metal Blade) talk about music publicity in the COVID era, emerging trends in their field, and their hopes for 2021. Viewers will also have the chance to ask questions, but only if you RSVP! Don’t wait!

The event is free, but attendees must register in advance to ask questions. Click here to RSVP TODAY!
