iTunes announces Sacred Oath exclusive
The largest music retailer in the world has just announced an exclusive offer with the new studio album from Sacred Oath. Mp3 giant iTunes has chosen the album’s first single “Counting Zeros” as their Discovery Download Pick Of The Week, with an estimated 300,000 free downloads.
The feature places Sacred Oath directly onto the rock homepage on Tuesday April 7th and gives their customers a chance to sample the new album absolutely free. The free download lasts for one week.
But that’s not all. iTunes will also begin selling the complete new album on April 7th – a full 5 weeks before the album is available anywhere else – at a discounted price of $5.99! “It’s win win for everyone,” says lead singer Rob Thorne. “At that price, we hope to attract many new fans checking us out for the first time, and the loyal Oathbangers can grab the new album a month earlier for the price of lunch!”
The iTunes/Sacred Oath album exclusive is international and will be offered in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, European Union, and Japan. The free Discovery Download will only be available in North America.
Official release dates for the album outside of the iTunes exclusive have been set at May 12th in North America and May 22nd in Europe.
