Bleeding Through take Trustkill grievances public
Orange County metalcore act Bleeding Through had some harsh words for label Trustkill Records in a guest blog posting at MTV's Headbangers Blog. In the lengthy diatribe they rail against a planned reissue of 2006's The Truth. From the blog:
Now we have a new album finished that we are very proud of and he wants to squeeze our fans and our band by throwing out an unapproved "special" edition in a fast and overt attempt to pay some bills.
Trustkill no longer employs his sales guy, his art director or his publicist. "Trustkill" is now Josh and one employee in his basement, as far as we can tell.
We have kept silent about the fact that we made our new album with a loan from our singer's dad, a loan from our management and less than 25% of our recording fund from Trustkill. They breached our contract (not for the first time) on March 31st, 2008 when we hit the studio without proper funding and have failed to cure the breach.
The band goes on to question the previously announced August released date of the new record, titled Declaration. The record was recorded with producer Devin Townsend (Darkest Hour) and the band will support the project (whenever it comes out) with a tour alongside Bullet for My Valentine.
