MetalSucks Responds to Leak

2009-10-06 by Prophet178 | 50 Comments
MetalSucks have issued a formal apology to Deathwish Inc and Converge for the accusations that their staff writer Shaun Hand had leaked the bands upcoming album Axe to Fall.

In the apology, the website says,
Quote:
We would like to formally apologize on behalf of everyone at MetalSucks for the leak. We take full responsibility.

It might be small solace, but the album was absolutely NOT leaked intentionally.


Deathwish has yet to respond.

I guess Converge can be happy in knowing that their die hard fans who downloaded are still gonna buy it, god knows I am.

Still though, wonder what the bounty on Shaun's head is up too?

I'm thinking one of the guys may have sent it to a close friend or something, and got sent out through there.

It certainly sounds right.
Hopefully now they put something extra with the physical copy. That would be ideal for those of us that pre-ordered it all ready.

Realistically, the album only leaked like two and a half weeks early, which sucks for them, but in perspective is not THAT huge of a deal. I'm pretty sure most of the people who would be super-interested in checking out the material early would have had it pre-ordered by now anyway (I've had it pre-ordered for a long time now).

The fact that it leaked isn't a huge deal. The fact that they know who was responsible puts things into a different perspective, though.

i just dont get why they are so annoyed? it was going to be him or a guy buying it and uploading it onto a torrent, i would be VERY suprised if it effected sales atall.

It's the control issue, they didn't get a say in their brand new material getting put out for everyone to hear.

They're in a band and the important decisions aren't even being made by them

I think it's more the betrayal if trust more than anything. I don't think Converge really give a damn anymore anyway. It was just one tweet msg blown up to be big news on sites like this.
