Mushroomhead - Jeffrey Hatrix is at it again. This time he is suing former bandmate, Steve “Skinny” Felton over unpaid royalties. It seems that Skinny has been pulling royalties shenanigans for sometime, adding himself multiple times on the copyright registrations to get higher and higher royalties percentages, and now the lawsuit is inferring that he is the ONLY one receiving Mechanical Royalties at all, for at least a large chunk of the MRH catalog. Nothing was paid a $1200 stipend per week while performing, and little else, the suit goes on to claim, and now he is seeking his fair cut.

New Music/Video
Dead Icarus - Unconquerable https://youtu.be/LYJcdZaYWsM DAMN!! THIS is what I want. Yes please. Vocal mix is less than desirable though. Still no release details for the record.
Blackbraid - Warriors (Abbath cover0 https://youtu.be/iBUinuMfU88 some great bass work for black metal.
Kanonenfieber - Der Maulwurf https://youtu.be/7f8N0UQAZF0 the mole. A new face for Black Metal… not doing great things for the nazi association, but really REALLY dynamic. All about wwI German troupes… I dig how the video never properly shows the vocalist’s face.
High Parasite - Wasn’t Human https://youtu.be/d_2gFuY_R-k Erin Stanthorpe of My Dying Bride new project. New record Forever We Burn out Sept 27. Good and gothy!
