◼️WHO IS SETH WERKHEISER?
◼️ Started a music blog in 2001 (see shirt above), and changed everything.
◼️ I launched the Noisecreep metal blog for AOL Music back in 2008.
◼️ These days I manage D2C email operations for Grammy Award-winning MNRK Heavy, Last Gang Records, and Prosthetic Records. (Need help with your record label email marketing? Get in touch! sethw@sethw.xyz)
◼️ Over the years I’ve sent email newsletters for Artists & Fleas, SOFIE, Black Label Society, Nina Nastasia, and Solid MFG, and I helped photographer Noah Kalina get his newsletter going again, too.
◼️ I run Social Media Escape Club, where I host weekly gatherings for creative people who are done chasing algorithms and ready to stop shouting into the void.
◼️ I sent D2C emails for Death Row Records in 2021 (before it got sold to Snoop Dog) and individual band campaigns for Holdtight PR in mid-2022.
◼️ Started Skull Toaster in 2011 (RIP 2018) and posted over 2,000 metal trivia questions on Twitter. Got this nice nod from NPR’s Ask Me Another:
◼️ I co-founded Metal Bandcamp Gift Club which has helped independent bands sell (probably) 10,000 albums since 2016 (read my interview with Bandcamp).
◼️ I make soundscapes for your interplanetary commute.
