That is, basically, what journalists were told last Monday at Universal Belgium's big dEUS press event, according to Belgian newspaper Le Soir's Frontstage music blog. Before meeting Tom Barman, they had to sign an agreement not to publish any part of their interview before April 15, or they'd face a €25,000 fine. The journalist notes that such embargoes aren't unusual, but the financial threat is puzzling. Several journalists preferred not to sign such a document and declined the interview, and apparently some media outlets may decide to "boycott" dEUS instead.
