MUDVAYNE/HELLYEAH Singer Partners With MOZES To Host Online Heavy Metal Battle Of The Bands

July 18, 2007

Bullygoat Records, which is headed up by MUDVAYNE/HEALLYEAH frontman Chad Gray, announced today a partnership with Mozes, Inc., a mobile marketing company that lets anyone create and mange their own interable mobile campaign, promotion or event, to host the first ever online heavy metal battle of the bands. Bands enter the competition by creating a keyword (mobile alias) and recruiting fans to join their mob (mobile fan list) by texting their Mozes keyword to 66937. Bands move up the leaderboard by having the largest mob. The 10 finalists submit a performance video, which is judged by label owner Chad Gray, "ThrashTalk" VJ and ex-Fuse TV VJ Mistress Juliya and Myspace celebrity Metal Sanaz. The winning band receives a record deal with Bullygoat Records and free online marketing services from Buddylube.

"I started this label to develop and maintain the integrity of our music," said Chad Gray. "We are only looking to develop new, different and interesting music. So the decision is yours. For those of you who feel like your ready to take the Bullygoat challenge, I look forward to hearing your art."

To be eligible to win a recording contract with Bullygoat Records, a band must have a minimum of 500 mob members. A special leaderboard has been set up on Mozes.com to track each band's growth in membership. The contest will run for three (3) months, giving bands a chance to build their mobile fan list.

"This is a great opportunity for unsigned bands to get their foot in the door of the music industry. "There are a lot of kick ass bands out there that now have the chance to be heard," said Mistress Juliya.

"Some bands have the sound, but lack in the marketing department," adds Sanaz. "Mozes and Bullygoat Records are giving them the chance to work with BuddyLube — a company that has marketed some of the best heavy metal bands in the world."

Mozes provides the necessary tools for bands to easily and innovatively connect with their fans. "We are pleased to be working with Buddylube on this first-of-its-kind contest," said Dorrian Porter, CEO of Mozes. "Being able to interact with your favorite artist in real-time on the mobile phone is a powerful and personal connection. Our role is to support the most effective way for artists to reach, grow and connect with their audience."

In addition to supporting mobile contests, Mozes users have the ability to send and receive wallpapers, ringtones, photos, trivia questions and more, directly to their audiences' phone and free Mozes.com account.
