We have only one
"unit" here this time, the one to be considered more or less a rip-off.
Below is the email letter I've received from Agathodemon, the man behind
Evil Horde Records, Brazil.
"This is a note to inform you that EHR is
not goind to release GOAT PENIS "Trotz Verbot - Nitch Tot" CD anymore.
We'd like to explain some points and make people know the real reasons
for that before you start hearing rumours about that. Evil Horde Records
is a serious and honest label and after we have decided not to work with
them anymore, a person that doesn't even plays in the band started some
rumours about that and telling lies about Evil Horde Rec. The real reason
that made us stop working with them is the total unprofessional position
of the band. Here are some details, please publish
them if you have a zine, mag or newsletter.
That's the second time this band fuck us.
Thanks for your time and support.
Infernal greetings,
Evil Horde Records.
Concerning GOAT PENIS CD, definitely Evil
Horde Rec won't work with them anymore because this is the second time
we announce their release and they fuck us. The first time we would release
their debut CD, but during the recordings the band had some discussion
and decided to break the band. I had to pay the studio since it was reserved
for two weeks and a half (US$2000) even if they used just part of this
time. Plus we lost money making and spreading flyers (one together with
MURDER RAPE EH001 (10000 copies) and another just for their CD - 6000 copies).
At late 99 they suggested that we did release their first two demo tapes
as a CD. We accepted the idea but we had no idea that the quality of them
was so bad. The songs have been recorded in a rehearsal room with a common
record player. The quality is really bad because you can even hear some
people talking in the room and we cannot erase it because it wasn't
recorded in separated channels. Seeing that terribly bad quality, I suggested
that they did enter studio to re-record these songs (we would pay
for that), the answer I got was NO because
besides having lost the lyrics, the band definitely stopped playing. So,
we decided not to release anything because it was the second time they
stopped the band and we do a serious work with the label and they do that
shit when we announce the release they stop with the band. This is our
final decision not to work with them anymore. I really wish they were doing
a serious work and they came back to the scene, I have made much for that
as a friend, but professionaly Evil Horde Rec is not interested in releasing
such bad quality release and most of all because the band do not have the
intention to make a continuous work.
In Darkness,
Agathodemon".
