Metal bands MØL and SVALBARDUK have cut ties with HOLY ROAR RECORDS after CEO ALEX FITZPATRICK was accused of rape by someone on INSTAGRAM. .
FROM MØL:
We in MØL will no longer be working or be affiliated with Holy Roar Records and Alex Fitzpatrick.
Let it be clear that this is a professional decision.
We believe firmly in the principles of the justice system. But the environment, the fact that all staff have quit, and with an album coming up, we have decided that the only option we are left with is to leave the label.
Finally we would ask of you to respect our statement, and not put words in our mouths, or read something into it, that simply isn’t there.
Any form of sexual assault is unacceptable.
No matter what.
We will not be commenting on the situation any further.
