Description
Bid on a catalog of rock music that has consistently earned over $1,000 a quarter over the last two years. In the last 12 months, this asset generated $6,186 in royalties. Up for auction is 100% of the songwriter's share of public performance royalties for songs by Korn, Black Veil Brides, Sugar Ray, Good Charlotte and more.
This catalog is highlighted by Korn's “Narcissistic Cannibal” featuring Skrillex and Kill the Noise. Korn has earned two Grammy Awards out of seven nominations and is considered one of today's most influential rock bands. The song is off of the album The Path of Totality which debuted atop the Billboard Dance/Electronic chart and was their 11th LP to arrive in the Top Ten of the Billboard 200. “Narcissistic Cannibal” continues to be popular since it's release in 2011. Today, it has over 31 million YouTube views and has seen a uptick in views since 2014.
Other top earners in this catalog include songs by the Black Veil Brides, a rock band who has won multiple awards at the Kerrang! Awards. The Kerrang! Awards is an annual music awards show in the UK put on by Kerrang!, an established UK-based magazine devoted to rock music.
BIGGEST LEVERAGE POINTS FOR INVESTORS:
- Narcissistic Cannibal and the three Black Veil Brides songs consistently make up over 50% of the catalog's total earnings. Earnings from each of these songs have leveled out since their release over 5 years ago. This provides a stable foundation for the catalog to generate earnings long into the future.
- The song “Triumphant” was placed in a Budweiser holiday commercial in 2015 and has paid out more than $1,400 in the last two quarters. The commercial aired on over 20 networks.
