"Der beste Szenekenner im Bereich Metal mit tausenden von Kontakten. Unermüdlich engagiert und absolut verlässlich arbeitet Markus Eck daran, seine Bands ins beste Licht zu rücken, sie zu beraten und zu unterstützen. Einen besseren Promoter könnte ich mir nicht vorstellen."
(Hydra Gorgonia • ATRIUM NOCTIS • Germany)

"Wir hatten absolut keine Ahnung von PR und sind somit kopfüber ins kalte Wasser gesprungen. Klar waren wir skeptisch. Doch in seiner angenehmen, freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Art konnte Markus Eck alle Zweifel beseitigen. Ein überaus faires Konzept, das genau auf unsere Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten ist, hat uns bisher sehr geholfen. METAL MESSAGE arbeitet vertrauenswürdig in allen Punkten, transparent, fleißig und, vor allem, realitätsnah. Zusammengefasst ist METAL MESSAGE das Beste, was uns überhaupt passieren konnte. Werft alle Zweifel und Vorbehalte über Bord und vertraut Euch METAL MESSAGE an! Markus Eck liebt den Underground und ist mit Überzeugung und Leidenschaft bei der Sache. Sicher macht er auch Euch ein passendes Angebot. Und keine Angst: Knebelverträge müsst Ihr nicht fürchten und auch beim Finanziellen geht METAL MESSAGE stets mit absoluter Fairness und Augenmaß vor."
(Marcus • DRUNKEN FOOLS • Germany)

"Der Promoter als Schlüssel zwischen Band und Label wird für mich auch heute noch viel zu wenig gewürdigt! Denn ohne solche engagierten Menschen wie Markus, würden die meisten Bands garnicht in der Öffentlichkeit existieren und die Labels sowie auch die Vertriebe, keine Kauf- Argumente und die so wichtige Propaganda für Engagements im Bereich der Gigs etc. haben. Horns Up & METAL MESSAGE to the World!"
(Christian • OUR SOULS • Germany)

"Wir würden jederzeit wieder mit METAL MESSAGE zusammenarbeiten. Die Arbeit ist individuell an die Band angepasst, sehr transparent und zuverlässig und die Leistung absolut top. Sehr empfehlenswert."

(Marple • LORDS OF SALEM • Germany)

Markus ist schon so lange ein Teil der Metalszene und kennt sie von allen Seiten. Seine vielen Kontakte zu Magazinen garantieren eine lange und breite Reichweite. Was am Ende dabei rauskommt liegt natürlich auch an der Qualität der Veröffentlichung. Bei uns lief alles perfekt! Wer einen zuverlässigen Promo-Partner für seine Band sucht ist bei METAL MESSAGE bestens aufgehoben."
(Skaldir • ASH OF ASHES • Germany)

"Exzellente PR Agentur, einer der besten fürs Geld in diesem Genre und als Gegenleistung wirklich aufopferungsvolle, hochqualitative und akribische Arbeit. Beispiellos gute Kommunikation. In allen Aspekten zu empfehlen."
(Ronny • SNAKEWINE • Germany)

"Tolle, aufopferungsvolle Arbeit. Super Kontakt, super Mensch hinter der Arbeit. Kein Anliegen ist zu gering, als dass Markus sich nicht dahinter klemmt und schließlich liefert. Eine Geschäftsbeziehung, aus welcher schließlich auch eine Freundschaft entstanden ist. Eine der besten Entscheidungen meines Lebens mich an METAL MESSAGE und an Markus zu wenden ..."
(Asgharoth Morthus Diaboli • MORTHUS • Germany)

"Bereits seit 8 Jahren arbeitet Markus von METAL MESSAGE regelmäßig für Bands, in welchen ich spiele. Die Promotions bei Veröffentlichungen liefen immer bestens! Weitaus mehr als wir uns erhofften! Zudem kam durch seine Arbeit ein Label-Deal zustande. Neben der Promotion war und ist uns Markus immer ein guter Berater und mehr. Konzeption und Umsetzung in Absprache mit einem von ihm organisierten Coverzeichner konnten wir mit bestem Gewissen in seine Hände geben! METAL MESSAGE kann ich jedem Herzblutmusiker empfehlen! Ich wurde in bereits 5 Veröffentlichungen noch nie enttäuscht!"
(Simon • RUNNING DEATH • Germany)

Jederzeit gerne wieder!"
(Markus • SWEEPING DEATH • Germany)

(Jörg • Stahlseele • Germany)

"Selten einen Medienpartner erlebt, der mit so viel Leidenschaft, Herz und Fleiß auf einen derart großen Erfahrungsschatz zurückgreift und mit Hingabe arbeitet. Eine 5/5 von www.soundmagnet.eu und mir für METAL MESSAGE!"
(Adriana • Soundmagnet Magazin • Austria)

"Ich kenne wenige andere PR-Menschen, die mit soviel Passion und Ehrlichkeit 'ihre' Künstler betreuen und als Ansprechpartner bei Fragen kompetent und zügig mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen. METAL MESSAGE steht nicht für irgendein Business - im Fokus steht der Underground mit seinen Künstlern! So muss es sein ..."
(Beatrice • Black Salvation Blog • Germany)

Der Einsatz für die Metal-Szene ist vorbildlich!"
(Hans • Hans kleines Heavy Metal Eck • Germany)

"Über die Arbeit mit Markus und METAL MESSAGE Global kann man absolut nichts Negatives sagen - immer nett und zuvorkommend, schnelle Rückmeldung und wenn's mal Probleme gibt, ist er immer bereit zu helfen. Was die Arbeit mit ihm auch so angenehm macht, ist die Tatsache, dass man stets ein Feedback bekommt, das weiß ich sehr zu schätzen, das passiert leider viel zu selten. Jederzeit wieder, und ich hoffe, dass sich die Zusammenarbeit noch intensiviert!"
(Danny • MetalZone • Germany)





Radios & Podcasts:

"Für mich als Online Radio-Moderator sehr oft eine Quelle an geiler Gitarrenmukke. Support und Zusammenarbeit stehen bei Markus extrem weit oben. Keep Up The Great Work And May The Underground Be With You!"
(Matze Greiner • Pure Sound Radio, D-Rockz Radio etc. • Germany)

"Nach über zwei Jahrzehnten als freier Musik- und Radio-Journalist komme ich zur Erkenntnis, dass METAL MESSAGE eine der künstlerfreundlichsten Promotion-Agenturen überhaupt ist. Markus kümmert sich verantwortungsbewusst, aufopfernd und selbstlos um die Musiker und versucht stets mit Professionalität und Fingerspitzengefühl seine Bands zu präsentieren. Dazu nutzt er nicht nur eine herausstechende E-Mail Präsenz, sondern auch seine überaus hörenswerten Podcasts und sucht stets den persönlichen Kontakt. Fazit: wer als Underground Band jeglichen Genres auf eine jahrzehntelange Erfahrung zurückgreifen möchte, die bestmögliche Promotion wünscht und zudem ein rundum-sorglos-Paket bevorzugt, sollte sich umgehend an den Markus wenden. Große Reichweite garantiert!"

(Karl Heinz • Metal FM.com • Germany)





Labels:

"Wir von Northern Silence Productions haben gerade die erste Promo-Kampagne von Markus durchführen lassen und sind mit seiner Arbeit sehr zufrieden. Er ist bemüht, aus jeder Situation das Optimum herauszuholen und verfügt sowohl über das Wissen als auch die Kontakte, um Releases weitreichend zu promoten. Es ist für uns zwar nicht sinnvoll, für jede unserer Veröffentlichungen die entsprechende Summe in professionelle Promotion zu investieren, doch bei Top-Sellern würden wir bedenkenlos wieder die Hilfe von Markus in Anspruch nehmen, um größere Reichweite und Sichtbarkeit für neue Releases zu erreichen."
(Torsten • Northern Silence Productions • Germany)

"Man merkt, dass hier ein Überzeugungstäter am Werk ist, und das spiegelt sich auch in der Arbeit von METAL MESSAGE durchgehend wider! Well done!"
(Adam • Schattenpfade • Germany)

(Timo • TEZURA • Germany)

"To this day, my band, ROCKIN’ ENGINE, has been solicited by many public relations agencies and promoters throughout the world with their never ending sales pitch and their 'too good to be true' success stories. But one day, I met Markus Eck! We were put in contact by a common friend and radio station host in Germany and started talking like we knew each other for a long time, the connection was made immediately. Markus insisted that our first professional conversation was to be made via Skype in order to talk to a person and not just text messaging stuff, he wanted to know ME. Call me old school, but that right there told me a lot about METAL MESSAGE! Within the first five minutes of our conversation, I was amazed by Markus’s professionalism, respect, honesty, work ethics, but most importantly, his passion for metal! His passion is what struck me the most and believe me, it definitely shows in his work. Within only a few weeks, we were swarmed by album reviews, magazine interviews, air time in new radio stations, and all that throughout the world. But that’s not all! Markus also gave us very constructive advice on marketing, management, timing, presentation and work ethics, which really helped us grow as a professional band. In the end, I have recommended METAL MESSAGE to everyone who was serious about bringing their music to another level, and I will continue to do so with pride and honour!"
(Steve O Leff • ROCKIN' ENGINE • Canada)

"Extreme dedication and a transparent workstyle are what define Markus. Communication is always fast and easy. What he's done for us in under a year has exceeded our expectations by a mile. We're glad we took him and so should you."
(Maurice • BLACK LILIUM • Germany)

"There are so many charlatans in this business but Markus Eck is not one of them and METAL MESSAGE is something your band needs.

The message is indeed loud!"
(Tom • RUADH • UK)

"Markus is a thoroughly sincere, honest and good person. A Metal maniac with all his heart and soul made of steel for the bands he is promoting. Always true to its motto: CLASS instead of MASS! Long live the underground! Many thanks to you Markus, for your great work, which we are guaranteed to use again."
(Waxe • EISENHAUER • Germany)

"Markus is the best guy you can work with! Always focused and dedicated to his work he makes you feel like a brother - and the results of his promotional work are stellar!"
(Alex • REVOLTONS • Italy)

"I want to thank Markus for his great job! His skills about promotion are amazing and I'm glad we met him! Working with such a kind and positive person is a real pleasure!"
(Kremena • BENDIDA • Bulgaria)

"METAL MESSAGE's promotional service is extremely smooth and cost-effective. In a short time, results are produced that you would not be able to do yourself with even great effort. The work is very holistic and results are generated on a daily basis. Reporting of results is also regular and the service personal. It is very difficult to imagine that the same level of service could be obtained from anywhere else, at least for the same price."
(Jake • VELVET OCEAN • Finland)

"METAL MESSAGE and Markus Eck do a really great and excellent job. It is really a pleasure to work with him."
(Vinnie • BENDIDA • Bulgaria)

We'll always get back to, as soon as the next promo campaign or new album is about to be done."
(Konstantin • VARUS • Germany)

"As HARDLAND we may be the odd one in at METAL MESSAGE's roster, but we absolutely don’t feel like that at all! Markus got intrigued by our cover version of Tubeway Army’s 'Are Friends Electric' and although we are most certainly NOT a cover band, it did get us in contact with him. We’d also gotten great reviews about him by friends of ours (ROCKIN’ ENGINE), what made clear to us that Markus was the most ECK-cellent guy to take care of spreading the word for us! Right from the beginning, talking on the phone, we hit it off immediately. Common interests as our passion for music, LOUD music made our first conversation feel like we knew each other from way before! Markus makes no fake promises, he’s a straight shooter, NO BS! He works hard for his bands and does so with great passion, knowledge, respect, professional attitude and most important transparency and honesty! He’s helped us getting tons of interviews, reviews and airplay all around the globe. We will always recommend METAL MESSAGE to everyone who tries to get his music to a more professional level and needs advice and / or help from the MAN with a very strong MESSAGE!"
(Aeilko • HARDLAND • Netherlands)

"Out of all the people that work with us, Markus Eck is probably the best! He's really number one and has done so much, with incredible passion! Our intention as a band is to proceed with METAL MESSAGE again! Rock on!!!"

(John • HAND OF KALLIACH • UK)

"Markus is a really passionate guy who loves good music and do a great job with his PR agency. A warm light in the cold dust of nowadays Metal music industry. Highly recommended!"
(Coldun • COLDUN • Germany)

"Outstanding work with serious devotion. There are lots of black sheep in the PR biz, but Markus is definitely not one of them. Relentless passion and goes for extra mile if necessary to get the things done. KING SATAN SALUTES!"
(King Seth Aleister Satan • KING SATAN • Finland)

"The cooperation with METAL MESSAGE is pretty much comparable with an Himalaya expedition on which Markus accompanies and guides your venture with Sherpa-like experience, instinct and consideration. He's not an arbitrary spreader of promotion material but a distinctive supporter of the artists vision whose motivation is always rooted in fortifying passion and authenticity. If you're looking for an enthusiastic crony and reliable connoisseur of the Metal world with all its heights and depths rather than a mere average promoter, Markus is your man. Highly recommended."
(Maurice Wilson • ANTRISCH • Germany)

"We worked with Markus for approx. six months marketing On Atlas' Shoulders second record. Highly passionate and service-oriented music enthusiast using his vast network to promote his clients. Uncomplicated and effective communication. We can definitely recommend his services!"
(Ben • ON ATLAS' SHOULDERS • Germany)

"The collaboration with METAL MESSAGE and my band CELTIC HILLS gave the band great visibility, much more than we had anticipated. Markus Eck works with passion and commitment and can be compared to a band member for how he is always careful to get the most out of it."
(Jonathan • CELTIC HILLS • Italy)

"There are many false prophets around but Markus isn't one of them. We, the CULT OF SALEM and our goddess Shub-Niggurath are very pleased with his excellent work."
(Dirk Whych Binder • CULT OF SALEM • Germany)

"Markus is an amazing PR agent! I have never seen someone work SO diligently and tirelessly, keeping you constantly updated with every bit of press so you know EXACTLY what is going on with your music/who is talking about it/what they are saying. He will also do his best to set up some interviews with publications WORLDWIDE! Being a band from the United States, we had always found it difficult connecting with foreign press due to language barriers, etc. Markus breaks down these walls and connects us directly to the different publications looking for interviews. He has everything set up and ready to go for you in a way that is easy to understand. Markus is VERY on top of new technology and applications, he is using any new methods he can to expand your reach in creative and exciting ways! He is also insanely organized, tweeting and posting every article you are mentioned in so you can have easy access to them as they appear! Even though Markus is not based in the United States, his English and comprehension is incredibly good! He is super easy to talk to and it feels like he is available 24 hours a day!!! This guy WORKS HARD and it shows. By far one of the hardest working people in music I have had the pleasure of working with. Would recommend EVERYONE selects him to do your worldwide PR, whether you are from the USA or literally anywhere else! Markus knows where to place you and how to get you there."
(Mike • KISSING CANDICE • USA)

"KATRE worked together with Markus Eck in the dissemination of the album 'Behind The Resilience' and absolutely recommends the services of METAL MESSAGE Global. Markus understands your needs as an artist and details a plan to work out tailored for the band. He has a large database of bloggers and webzines, and you are most likely going to be asked for many interviews. This helps a lot in the beginning because as an artist, you need the feeling of recognition. After this, the reviews, social media posts, and similar will follow, because Markus gives his best to disseminate your work. Our warmest thanks to you, Markus. We now have a very dear friend on our side who understands our music and communicates with the right audience."
(Hasan • KATRE • Germany)

(Pete • The Ringmaster Review • UK)

"It isn't often you find someone so dedicated and great to work with, but we did. It has been a few years now that we have been working together to get the word out about Heavy Metal, a way of life. I am extremely impressed with the work ethics from Markus. He is always there to help out with the interviews from his bands, always asks if I would like to do one, and if there are any questions I know I can go to him and he will help out. It is great too that he makes a point of sharing the interviews, and then letting us know he has done that. He is very efficient in his work, and so trustworthy, you can tell he loves what he does, it just shows. Plus he is so great to work with, and very patient about the work we do together. I would highly recommend any band, even labels to reach out to Markus for consideration of working with him. I have not once regretted working together. I always look forward to doing our interviews and help to promote, it is a real pleasure."
(Rita • Metal Titans • Canada)

Unlike some promotional sites I have worked with in the past Markus always is engaging, respectful, and available for any questions we may have for him. He also acknowledges MTR when we air the bands he represents and that goes a long way to a healthy and strong relationship between radio and promotions. Thanks for all you do Markus, here's to another 20 years of success for you!"

"I lost count of how many reviews of Markus I read since I got into Metal music. METAL MESSAGE was never far away when I went on my forays for new music. Now, many years later I’m happy that our paths also crossed in a professional way. As a mediator he got in touch with me to revamp a logo for one of his clients. The briefing, the communication and the workflow were on fleek and we reached the desired results in no time. I’m looking forward to future collaborations!"
