HAVOK shall unleash their anticipated new release via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS, MORE INFO T.B.A.
HAVOK unleashed "UNNATURAL SELECTION", 6/25/2013 via CANDLELIGHT RECORDS.
FROM HAVOK:
PRESS RELEASE:
"It is with deep regret we are forced to inform fans of metal that we will not be on the upcoming Megadeth tour with Amon Amarth, Suicidal Tendencies, and Metal Church. We will also not be going to Mexico in August and early September as was planned.
We were really looking forward to these shows, but unfortunately, Mr. Mustaine has chosen to remove us from the lineup. The reasons for our absence are directly related to a contract negotiation insisted upon by Mustaine Management - a negotiation that has gone awry. We are authorized to say that we were offered an unacceptable management contract from Mustaine Management, which we declined.
While working with our lawyer to negotiate the terms of the contract, Mustaine Management threatened to kick us off of the Megadeth tour, Mustaine Management repeatedly failed to respond to phone calls and emails, and eventually told us (through their lawyer) that Mustaine Management is no longer working with Havok. We are only releasing this information to give fans an honest account of the reasons we are no longer on the tour.
We cannot disclose more details at this time (at our attorney’s directive), but nonetheless, would like to thank Mustaine Management for the past opportunities that they brought to the table while working with us. We would also like to apologize to the fans that will not be able to see us this fall - we will sorely miss all of you. New tour dates will be announced soon and we look forward to getting back on the road to headbang with the best fans in the world."
-David Sanchez / HAVOK

Thank you. If I told y'all what really happened you'd hate Havoks guts. Let's leave them just looking bitter, ok? https://t.co/fcHPaZlyob— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
What is there to debate fuckard? They had 5 months to sign an industry standard contract and don't pay their bills? https://t.co/ebmP4zM86e— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
Cat got your tongue tough guy? It's different now you know they stiffed Justis for thousands of dollars, huh?! https://t.co/ToV7nA0J8O— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
Justis did more for them than anyone in ten years. https://t.co/7luh6G3mk1— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
You're so right. This is going to backfire on HavoK like they never expected. https://t.co/ep0XhloyVs— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
They had an industry standard contract: the same I have. 5 months later still wouldn't sign it until they're dropped https://t.co/YYwqROWOoI— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
Shameful on both their sides. I took such good care of HavoK and they do this. Extremely disappointed. https://t.co/qTmh4qNMhT— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-I was the 3rd side. They didn't pay Justis what he's owed or sign the ind. standard contract. I took care of em. Sad https://t.co/DsumsMNLXD— Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) August 17, 2016
