Nuclear Blast unavailable

[fh_spitfire]

Since yeterday I'm not able to play most of Nuclear Blast albums. The error message is either "song is unavailable" or "song is unavailable in your country". This includes all Eluveitie albums, Toumas Holopainen - Lise and times of Scrooge, and probably some others (finding them as we speak, Epica seems fine, if their Spotofy collection is rather small, if it should include most of their albums, they're gone for me as well - I don't have them saved in my library, so I can't even see them enymore).

Can anyone tell me what is going on?

BTW, my country is Poland.

EDIT: inb4 clear chache: tried Windows client, android and web player. All the same.

[NuclearPatrick]

everything by nuclear blast will come back eventually however this excludes DANTE i'm afraid, which wasn't released by us...

[NuclearPatrick]

yes, sure! everything released by NB will be back asap 🙂

[pakhmal]

Thank you Patrick! It looks like things will be progressing.

I do not know how difficult this may be due to the sheer volume, but could you post us once any material that was previously not available becomes available? This way we can verify NB's actions. 

[Whiskeyjack82]

Ah no way. Thought it was. Pity. When will Genexus return

[power_pumpkin]

Here in South America it seems Spotify is a pain in the **bleep** for listeners who likes NB records.

I do believe what this guy Patrick says but he is just defending the company he works on versus a monster Spotify is

Im paying the subscription and I don't deserve to see albums putting off the catalog, are  they joking me? 

Sorry but I am most accostumed to see disappear albums than to see them reappear, its my experience with this label at least.

Thanks for keeping rhis post up.

The Days of Grays by Sonata Arctica has disappeared in the last couple of days 😞 still no sign of unia but oddly Silence is still up. 

This is coming from New Zealand, where there really isn't any other way to listen to these bands legally.

Hi  there! 

 Just wondering how are things going there, Mr. Patrick! Little bit more than two weeks and Blind Guardian's Beyond The Red Mirror is still out of catalog, exept for two or three songs. C'mon man, update us here, we are "out"of the Red Mirror... 

Thanx a lot from Brazil and keep the hard work

Atila

Hey Thesnakenz, here in Brazil The Days of Grays are still avaible but one track, what makes the situation even more strange. It seems that the problem is selective.

3 weeks are gone. And still we are in the dark. Patrick, we asked you more communication. You've said that the reason to all this the change of publisher, and it seems that they are already doing a bad job

[thecamilovisk]

atila1, you are not alone! Seeing only three tracks in Beyond the Red Mirror is making me mad!

[jccanepa]

I´ve seen some releases coming back: Exodus, some Amorphis (still missing Eclipse)

Hope Fear Factory "Genexus" comes back very soon. 

[Whiskeyjack82]

I would have a big Spotify like everyone else but certain artists being
played more than so. Fear Factory are one of them and man did it suck
seeing that album being taken off.

[pakhmal]

UPDATE: still SEVERAL artists missing. I have seen Epica's The Divine
Conspiracy come up, but their live albums are still missing. Almost ALL of
Nightwish albums remain missing as do Sonata Arctica's. Hammerfall's legacy
of kings still missing as is Amorphis albums.

Patrick: Any update?

Thank you.

[emilyk5709]

The Sonata Arctica albums are still missing. This is unfortunate for me because I love them, and a lot of my favorite songs are from the missing albums and I can't listen to them. I hope they're back soon. I do appreciate your efforts to fix the problem in the meantime.

[atila1]

Hi there Mr. Patrick, cheers from Brazil once more, 

"Beyond The Red Mirror" there shall be light, but we are about to drown under the "Ninth Wave's" flow of tedious time spent without our favorite songs. Don't let us here, in the dark, witnessing the "Twilight of the Gods" we so much love! Fulfill the "Prophecies" long spoken that our songs could be back soon for we are "At The Edge of the Time", waiting... our hopes turning into "Ashes of Eternity". As time passes, our songs becomes more and more only "Distant Memories" and it seems that "The Holy Grail" will never be achieved. 

Have a Nice Day! 

[Whiskeyjack82]

Which Nightwish albums are missing for you? 

[Enflict]

Genexus Is back. Thank you to all involved in it's return and other music restoration.

On a related note, I just heard somewhere that artists make sixty dollars, $60.00, for every million plays. No wonder they have been silent on the Spotify outages. If it appears gone forever maybe they'd actually earn album sales for once. I definitely feel for them.

I do go to my local record store and buy CDs i like from Spotify though, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so there's that.

[pakhmal]

Nightwish albums missing: everything prior to and including Dark Passion
Play.

Patrick/NB Blast: Any further updates? I have not seen many items become
available. Still missing several albums.

[djbartman]

Genexus is not back...

[Enflict]

It might depend on your country. I am in the USA and all the songs are selectable again, no longer grayed out. What country are you in?

[SpotTheIfy]

All Brutality albums are still missing.
