It has been confirmed through LAMBGOAT that FORWARD REGRESSION RECORDS and an extreme metal band on the labels roster COLLAPSE (New Glasgow, NS, CANADA) are suing grind core legends TERRORIZER (featuring PETE SANDOVAL, DAVID VINCENT of MORBID ANGEL and KATINA CULTURE of RESISTANT CULTURE) over alleged plagiarism of a particular song and album cover art. COLLAPSE and FORWARD REGRESSION RECORDS are suing on the issue of the cover art of TERRORIZER's latest release "Hordes Of Zombies" unleashed 2/24/2012 on SEASON OF MIST and plagiarism of the song “Subterfuge” and alleged similarities to the COLLAPSE tune “Mechanisms of Oppression".

FROM FORWARD REGRESSION RECORDS:
“It is our opinion that in the song Terrorizer ‘Subterfuge’ one of the main guitar riffs starting at appx. 0:28 Seconds until 0:45 Seconds and again later in the song are lifted directly from the song Collapse – Mechanisms of Oppression at appx 1:48 in the song. Our song was released in 2008 and re-recorded and released again in August 2011.
As well, the cover artwork for the album resembles our album Collapse – Sustainability. With the Moon in background, with destroyed buildings, and destroyed automobile in the foreground. This will be used in our lawsuit to prove in our opinion that they have blatantly copied our material. If this were a publicity stunt, it is Season of Mist and Terrorizer not Collapse and Forward Regression who are creating the controversy. By copying our album art and lifting riffs directly off our album.”
The merit of the lawsuit will be up to the Supreme Civil Court to decide, that's where we are taking it. We'll let them hear the songs and then let them decide at the hearings if our song has been plagiarized or not."
