Hey guys, I think I mentioned this on the CMR not here, but I did a PR campaign through Against Magazine for Orationem and they've got a pretty good deal. They contacted me regarding Orationem, I took a risk and went through with it and I'm actually pretty happy with the results.
Her name is Cátia and she owns Against Magazine which is based in Portugal.

They've got a 12 week campaign option with an interview, review, etc., but that's overkill for the small black metal scene.
(Tourniquet was the only Christian band I recognized doing this option - mostly secular death/black)
For 15EUR though, they'll do a formal press release (ie: announcing a new album, tour dates, etc.) and send it to 1300-1400 metal news/magazine sites. Its like $16.88 USD, she'll write up the e-mail with artwork announcing whatever you want to announce.
Realistically, probably 30-40% of the people won't even read it... (at least that's what she said) but the others may announce it on their blog or post it in their magazine. I found this especially useful considering that most of her contacts are not from the US. Its good for spreading news about something overseas, or other areas.
Obviously a press release doesn't guarantee sales, but even if 3 people buy albums, its already paid for itself.
It at least gets the name/news out there. These are a few examples of news sites that posted Orationem news because she sent it to them.

She said the deal she offered me is good for anyone that I recommend.
