The Haunted
...fühlen sich von Earache beschissen!

THE HAUNTED haben mit ihrem neuen Album „One Kill Wonder“ ihren Vertrag mit Earache Records erfüllt und es sieht nicht so aus, als sollten sie dort einen neuen Deal unterschreiben. Frontmann Marco Aro hatte dazu folgendes zu sagen: „Earache are lying to us all the time. According to them, we have sold only ONE thousand copies of the last album in the States even though we’ve done headlining tours over there. You know, Earache doesn’t keep any records that would reveal how many albums have been pressed and so on, so we have no idea how many albums we have actually sold. When we signed to Earache, we actually [inherited] AT THE GATES‘ old contract [as per the leaving member’s clause in the agreement. So when we got some royalties from our first album, all that money went to pay back the debts that AT THE GATES had with the label.“ Mit der neuen DVD „Caught On Tape“ ist Herr Aro auch nicht so zufrieden, weil Earache anscheinend schlampige Arbeit geleistet hat. „Well, it’s ok, there’s two shows and everything. But it could have been better, too. We were supposed to get really good digital video camera from our record company when we went to tour US with CANNIBAL CORPSE and DIMMU BORGIR. We were supposed to shoot some material for the DVD… Well, we got that camera when there was two shows left in the tour. And then, when we asked if we could shoot some material from the summer festivals with that camera, we were told that this was not OK and we had to return the camera to the record company. By the way, our first idea was to release the live DVD and live album in one package at a special price. But that was not OK with Earache…“
