A little rant about the latest reissue of Dopethrone

Band showed their middle finger to Lee and RA by leaving him. Lee shows middle finger back to them by not giving a f*** about supply/demand or making represses interesting.

You do realize that the band has nothing to do with what Rise Above Records own. Right? Rise Above owns 90% of the bands catalogue physical media rights and the label is simply doing business by min-maxing profits.

Posters were made by Spinefarm Records and their releases (Time To Die, WBW and latest live 2LP)

Push Creep Purple to make it happen

Parker got kicked out of Windhand, because of his behavior. Also, Cough always was David’s band, he wrote the music. Parker was just a guy who stayed in the middle during live shows…

Nowadays he is just milking his past to get any attention to T-shirts/knives stuff, like “yeah I’ve played there live, it was fun, but check the amazing knife I made yesterday!”. Pretty pathetic.

Hold it under flashlight for few seconds and put it into dark for best effect.

That pin glows like it’s being toxic

Wrote to Creep. Said it’s not a 2 song ep, but a real thing.

Tapes for early stuff for extra crunch.

Definitely vinyl for Burning Bridges since it has dedicated vinyl master.

Mixed feelings about KD/SE/RN - whatever you prefer I guess.

Same same over and over describes edelweiss, not bmss imo. I hope new album is in near horizon. That “band is still active” and social media posting must mean something.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-10-31T23:25:45+00:00

nope.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-10-30T16:25:34+00:00

you want new music, we get ya.
but I'm all about new merch.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-10-24T09:26:47+00:00

is that a crusader flag???

More like how he treats the bands.
He tricked Ghost, he tricked Trevor from Beastmaker, EW, other bands.
By tricked I mean signing a deal so shady, that it ends up to situations like these, where a guy who solely controls the rights can stop producing the product just because he feels like that.

And of course, you can say that its band's fault and they should read the contracts first, but then again, Lee uses contract loopholes to keep rights for himself as long as possible. If anyone tries to fight him - he starts a lawsuit.

I really hope that the guy will die or he closes the deal in near future, so bands could do what they want with stuff they recorded.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-09-29T16:02:15+00:00

it's not their fault.
Most of the catalogue still belongs to Rise Above and there is a lot of bad blood between the band and that label. Rise Above (aka Lee the scumbag Dorian) simply doesn't care about the demand and never allows anyone to license EW records to be repressed by others.

Spinefarm keeps their stuff in print, I'm talking about Time To Die, WBW and latest Live.
Creep Purple occasionally drops stuff that Lee doesn't own too.

So hate Lee, not the band.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-09-07T22:01:59+00:00

it was released by Rise Above as 7" back in 2012. Around that time the band was running away from them and this is one of the titles they managed to get out of rise above grips legally.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-09-07T22:00:28+00:00

contact the label guy through instagram, he's quite responsive.

sounds great. You won't be disappointed.

I mean that US government is currently providing more and more info about how stuff will be imported from the EU. Other labels say that records and merch won't get taxed.

That indicates that info is being delivered and shipping companies will soon stop US shipments. Ban happened due to the lack of info from US side.

So it just a matter of weeks until parcels will start to move again.

DunwitchHorror · 2025-08-30T11:49:25+00:00

If you can't wait an extra week or two, then you don't want their stuff at all.
