Converge have launched a volley towards website www.metalsucks.net, claiming that a writer for the site was the source of the recent internet leak of their upcoming album, “Axe To Fall“. The bands original tweet on the matter, which can be found here, reads as follows:
“BTW: Special thanks to SHAUN HAND at Metal Sucks for leaking our album… #musicmonday #converge #axetofall PLEASE RETWEET #fb”
Summarily a number of other musicians and individuals have since reposted the tweet, while Metal Sucks themselves have replied via Twitter saying:
“We are HORRIFIED and are investigating right now. If Shaun is really responsible, he will be dealt with swiftly.”
The promotional copies of album were said to carry a watermarking technology which allowed the leaked copy to be traced back to the one assigned to Hand. No word yet if legal action will be taken, or if the public airing of the matter will be the end of the situation. “Axe To Fall” will land in stores on October 20th through Epitaph.
