PLEASE SPREAD THIS INFO AND BE AWARE PHILIPPINES RIP-OFF!
We => DEAD CENTER PRODS (Ukraina) / WINGS OF DESTRUCTION (Russia) prods has released CD album of PATHOGEN (Philippines) "blasphemous communion". We agreed with the band this deal, released this stuff, spent lot of money for promotion (even more than 100 CDs [original!] were sent to radios and zines worldwide for reviews and rotation!), ads etc...
Then we know that same album was released on US' OLD CEMETERY Records...
We wrote to musicians in aim to know how that happens, they wrote like they are newcomers in metal scene and don't knew that there should be some agreements about release... I though the deal is clear and musicians just didn't knew some aspects (we just didn't any paper contracts unfortunately). BUT! Same day I received this e-mail (please read below message and you'll get the pont how Philippines again into rip-off shit!) -

Hails, Duncan here. I'm the wife beating asshole who provided the designs, artwork, and layout for the OCR version and, apparently, the cover of the DCP release of Blasphemous Communion. Let me just start off by saying how fucking pissed off I am that both you and OCR were fucked over by Willie and company. It was a shitty move on his part, he knew exactly what the fuck he was doing.
I was working with both Willie and Old Cemetery Recs throughout the entire design phase of the CD. For the record, and this was clearly understood by that fuckface Willie, every single design I created for Pathogen was intended exclusively for the Old Cemetery CD version, nothing else. The cover he provided you for your release is among those designs... and as far as I'm concerned, the gook fucker ripped me off, too (he also had T-shirts printed of the image, and of course fucked me over for the one single shirt I asked for as payment).
Obviously, once Chris (OCR headmaster) and myself saw your flyers promoting the CD, we immediately contacted Willie to ask him what the fuck was going on. He told us that he had approved the DCP version "a long time ago," but cancelled it after inaction on your part (which is a complete fucking lie, and the cover art proves that). He went on to say that your was nothing more than a bootleg and "inferior." Besides that, the fucker had the nerve to try and play dumb, as if he had no idea of either release happening at all.
I'm not trying to stir any further shit, but it looks like we've all been fucking had. If you need anything against those rip-off Filipino bastards just say the word. Hopefully Iron Bonehead hasn't invested too much in them yet.
Stay Ugly,
Duncan
As you see, musicians told OCR that our (DCP/WoD) release is just bootleg (which final artwork of CD and flyers were agreed by these cocksockers before one-two days of stuff goes to factory!!!!).... and they said to us that OCR recs is "just" release, so they ripped-off THREE labels! Also sometimes ago I knew they ripped-off in SAME way other two labels which released their music in Tape format...
So, Philipinnes are again into rip-off shit... FUCK THEM!!!
