Immortal Records — the label that brought you KORN, INCUBUS, and 30 SECONDS TO MARS — successfully re-launched in 2004 as an independent label brand. At the forefront of digital innovation, Immortal has embraced the opportunity to be the first label to release an album exclusively through MySpace. "We have tremendous respect for MySpace and its ability to market music directly to the fans," notes Immortal Records CEO Happy Walters. "MySpace has played such an invaluable role in the development of these artists' careers."
"We are honored that Immortal Records chose Cure Autism Now as the beneficiary of their 'A Santa Cause' holiday release," says Peter Bell, President and CEO of Cure Autism Now. "As autism has become a major health crisis around the world, we are grateful to organizations such as Immortal Records for raising awareness about autism and funding for our research and treatment programs through their innovative music projects."
The previous "A Santa Cause" CD compilation in 2003 was a great success with participating bands including BLINK 182, FALL OUT BOY, MXPX and NEW FOUND GLORY, to name a few. The album sold 50,000 copies and received over 100,000 downloads.
