Victory act Bury Your Dead has found itself caught up in a bizarre scandal involving the now-infamous Ozzfest stop in Devore, California, where Iron Maiden was pelted with eggs, lighters, ice and bottle caps at the start of what was to be the band's final Ozzfest performance. The incident capped off what appears to be months of fighting between the Osbourne camps and Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson.

Osbourne matriarch, Sharon told one source:

It … offended me every night how he took out the English flag in America. There are American boys going to war alongside the English boys every day. How dare he forget the American troops on their home turf? He has had no respect for the American audience he has been playing for, stating in an interview, 'When you do the 'hits' tour here [in the U.S.], the audience is smug, and there's a sense of self-satisfaction, like, 'We got what we wanted…I'm looking at an audience that is self-satisfied and happy and fat, and getting what it wants and isn't prepared to get off its ass..'

Due to some unnamed sources implicating the band in the egging, Bury Your Dead has recieved death threats and has been verbally attacked by irate Iron Maiden fans. The band itself denies any involvement in the incident saying that they were approached to participate but refused to do so, with bassist Rich Casey telling MTV that:

Everyone I was sitting with declined the offer to be a part of it. I don't know [what] set off this entire thing of our band's name being dragged into this, but I assure you we were not involved.

Casey claims to have video footage shot during the incident which proves the band wasn't involved. The video footage was being shot on the request of actor Will Smith, who has been following the tour with wife Jada Pinkett Smith and her band, Wicked Wisdom.

The band joined Ozzfest this year in support of their Victory debut, Cover Your Tracks as well as their recent live DualDisc release Alive.
