From the SDG Board regarding the release of the Control Denied album...
I think this "battle" over who thinks they can first release something - that obviously Chuck didn't intend on anyone outside of the band to hear...is foolish, and definitely something he wouldn't have wanted to happen. I thought the whole idea was to get it done in the light of his wishes. I can safely say after knowing him since our teenage years that this delay, and this squabble over the release is far from something he thought to forsee as steps to fulfilling those wishes.
The name of the band is becoming more and more ironic for all of us involved.
I wait with all of you, and unfortunately I know about as much as all of you.
Maybe there needs to be a movement to write Karmageddon (Hammerheart) encouraging them to hold off on the threats to release anything until it's finished, thus taking the pressure off Chuck's mom to try and beat that threat, stopping any pre-release through the record company or that website.
We should all be thinking about doing the right thing, and that's allowing the rest of the band to finish it and release it in due fashion...in the completed form that would honor Chuck's wishes and represent his vision of the final product.
