Decapitated haastaa entisen levy-yhtiönsä oikeuteen maksamattomista rojalteista

Puolalainen death metal -bändi Decapitated on  julkaissut kuusi albumia, joista ensimmäiset neljä ovat ilmestyneet Earache Recordsin kautta. Bändi on nostanut syytteen levy-yhtiötä vastaan, sillä se ei ole maksanut tekijänoikeuskorvauksia sen jälkeen, kun heidän sopimus päättyi kymmenen vuotta sitten.

Decapitated on selittänyt päätöstään seuraavasti:

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!
