Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED have unleashed new 20th anniversary merchandise to raise funds (for legal fees) to acquire the bands catalog from former label EARACHE RECORDS.
DECAPITATED unleashed "BLOOD MANTRA", 9/26/2014 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.
FROM DECAPITATED:
We have released a brand new ’20 Years of Madness’ t-shirt to help raise legal funds to get our catalogue back from Earache Records - check the video for the full story below
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!
