TESTIMONIALS

CMM have been the perfect foil for our own independence of spirit; hard working, communicative, creative and comprehensive in approach, the team have been a pleasure to work with.

"Wolfgang and the CMM team offer a first class service when it comes to promotion. They’re professional with a personal touch, and most importantly they bring home the results."

As manager of Iron Maiden, I have known Wolfgang personally and professionally for 23 years. Both the band and myself have the greatest respect for the hard work, dedication and passion that he and his trusted CMM team have demonstrated during our longstanding working relationship and all the promotional initiatives and support they have given to Maiden down the years. We are extremely happy to be represented by CMM in Germany.

From years of experience I can honestly say: there is no other company quite like them! Keep on rocking!

For Heavy Metal artists times are in a change. Illegal downloads and new forms of exploitation of music hit the music market. As a result, small and new bands have a harder time finding a partner for commercial exploitation of their work. Willingness to take risks, but also investment opportunities of the record industry have decreased. In particular the young, upcoming artists are, more than ever, obliged to show self-reliance by placing themselves on the market at their own risk. Here is where SAOL offers an opportunity.

Since 1995 I have had the pleasure of being involved with Wolfgang and CMM.  In an industry based on "what have you done for me lately", Overkill continues a two plus decade relationship and friendship, with a company that is in it "for the long haul". Here is to the promotion machine, Prost!

OVERKILL

The SAOL business model was eminently right for us and a super important step on our way. We've always had all the freedom and made our own choices, on top of it we got best advice, professional promotion and decent marketing channels. And hard to believe: all of the guys and girls there are passionate music fans or even musicians themselves - what more could one want?

We have been working with Wolfgang Rott and CMM for over 20 years. There is no one else that we can count on to work as an extension of our company, to think out of the box and get the job done. They are the top of promotion company that everyone needs - The kind that never stops.

I think the idea behind SAOL is extremely good, as it helps on the highly competitive market, to give bands an opportunity to benefit from SAOL's experience and professionalism, and to overcome the first hurdles in the business.

Having known and working on various projects with Wolfgang and his team at CMM for over 20 years, I have come to highly value not only his contacts and network, but especially his integrity, business ethics and in depth knowledge of the European and over all the German Hard Rock and Heavy Metal scene.

Ich schreibe selbst Pressetexte und muss sagen - die von CMM gehören mit zu den besten, die ich kenne. Geschickt mit Klischees spielen, ohne Phrasen zu dreschen und abgedroschene Floskeln zu verwenden.

Partnering with CMM has been the best business decision we've ever made. Major label connections for independent artists. If you have the vision they have the expertise.

I have worked with CMM over many years now and with many different projects. There is no other firm or group of people that I would work with for independent promotion and marketing. They are the best!!

Rott and roll! BraveWords has been working with Wolfgang and his crew for decades – there is no better home for promoting hard rock/heavy metal on the planet.

SAOL offers a professional and forward looking choice for us as a band in any concerns and is a stable partner, when it comes to help us climbing the next steps – Thanks a bunch guys and gals!

Simon Moskon
CRYPTEX

Since day one, CMM/SAOL have been nothing but wonderful to us, taking our album release and multi year plans and opening awesome doors overseas that we as a young American band couldn't reach on our own. Aside from being completely savvy about the current state of the industry, they're great people and we feel a genuine investment in our story and art. HIGHLY recommended - a joy to work with!

Wolfgang Rott ist a decision-maker in the music bizz – countless bands have benefited from his cool, crazy, always “unlike the other” ideas! Wolfgang and his team aren’t just talking...they’re taking action.

Working with CMM on SOAL has been incredible and very eye opening. After working with others, CMM has proven to be very professional delivering on their commitments and quite easy to work with. I recommend them to any band that wants industry experts to get them to their next stage of development.
