Decapitated - Suing Earache Records
You might remember that last year, Earache Records took down from streaming sites Decapitated's entire catalogue of music released by the label in retaliation to various disputes brought forth by the band. The Polish death metallers will now be taking legal action against their former label, Earache Records, over unpaid royalties. To raise money for legal fees, the band is selling a limited edition of a brand new '20 Years of Madness' t-shirt.
You can buy the t-shirt here and see the video of guitarist Vogg explaining the situation below.
The band said: "In 1999 when we signed with Earache we were just teenagers.. we thought it was going to be an amazing opportunity, signing to a world famous metal label. Thanks to the support from our fans we were able to forge a great career from Decapitated and we appreciate every person who has bought our records...unfortunately, we have not seen a penny from owed royalties from Earache.
"Due to on-going disputes with the label regarding these unpaid royalties and contested breaches of contract we find ourselves in a position whereby we need to pursue legal action to rectify already very overdue issues, not only to get justice for the band but more importantly for Vitek's widow and daughter and Covan and his carers. We are launching a new limited edition t-shirt specially to help raise funds for the case and we'll be grateful if you want to buy one. In the meantime, as ever, your good wishes and support are appreciated!"
