This is a statement from the band Elite who has signed with Agonia Records. You were ripped off by the owner ?
" Ok, this label has been the reason for a lot of complaining. I used to
be in one of the first bands that released anything on his
label(Elite), and I also used to be a personal friend of Filip. I still
know people in bands on this label, and unfortunately for them, I hope
that people do follow up on this. It doesnt matter where you buy Agonia
stuff, you still support Agonia if you do. Agonia treats the bands
without respect and does usually not pay what they owe the bands.
Merchandise isnt the same, altough, Dawn of Azazel still havent got
their copies of the vinyl release they did on that label.
My point is, noone should buy any Agonia Releases anymore, if anyone
does, they support Mr Jesion's exploitation of anyone he can exploit.
If youre in a band or label or distro that has been ripped off by this
bastard, leave me a PM, and Ill get back to you. This has to be brought
to an end. I have a big apology to send to Noktu of Drakkar and the
guys in Wounded Love, cause I am quite sure he ripped them off, and he
mislead me back then to help him manage his business.
Elite's case is that he still owes us most of the royalties for the
Kampen Album, and we have been convinced that he did a little
restocking of that release without notifying us.
Edit: I do hope bands, labels and distro's will post their experiences
with Agonia/Filip here. I do encourage anyone to cut and paste from
this to any other forums, or even to mails to Agonia. I encourage any
label that might be interested in any of Agonia's current bands, to
approach the bands with an offer, after all, any offer is probably
better than what they will get out of the deal with Agonia and I know
there are some bands just looking to leave, even tho they are still
bound by a contract. Unless his contracts changed a lot since he signed
Celestia, they would not be of any use in court for anything but
amusement."
