Xasthur vs. Southern Lord
Saturday, July 1, 2006 9:09:56 PM
Here follows Malefic's May 19th email, which I suppose effectively ended Xasthur's work with Southern Lord/Sunn, to label boss Greg Anderson:From: Xasthur

Subject: SHALOM (Southern Fraud)
First of all,
EXHIBIT A):
This "Darkness Hath No Boundaries" comp CD is false
1). Southern Lord no longer has Xasthur to offer (or exploit)
2). It's not an exclusive track
3). Perhaps the most important, this track was NOT approved by the band when it was 'remastered' horribly!
4). Once again, done behind bands back in order to continue trying to make a buck off of, just about as low as Moribund
SOUTHERNLORD - DARKNESS HATH NO BOUNDARIES/Label Compilation CD
Burning hot on the heels of what has been possibly the best "era" of our existence...A label sampler featuring only the best Southern Lord has to offer! Tracks from: sunn 0))), Boris (exclusive and unreleased!), Oren Ambarchi, Craft, Haemoth, Thrones, Earthride, Twilight, Saint Vitus, Earth, Hidden Hand,Lair of the Minotaur, Xasthur (exclusive and unreleased!), and Orcustus. Features exclusive Savage Pencil artwork similar to the above t-shirt. And most importantly this fucking thing is FREE with purchase. Buy any Southern Lord or Lord distributed item and this will ship along with your order. Supplies are limited so act now!
*Note: This is also for sale individually for $4.
EXHIBIT B):

1). Vocalist offered nothing
2). again, done behind band's back
3). again, SL trying to cash in off a band that had already parted ways with them.
4). Once again, this label has absolutely NO respect for their artists.
EXHIBIT C):
Band (Xasthur) given 10 cd's and 5 LP's of Black One after this fraudulent label uses bands contributions (to "jam" with) to help sell over 20,000 copies.
Black metal is not a charity to help make some Christian's marriage wonderful (Greg Anderson)
Spread this like a fucking plague
NOTE: I refuse to be involved with any Instant Messenger programs or anything similar to it.
