Fuck me, gotta love this. Prepare your seats, gentlemen.
So some of you might remember that in October 2012 I was asked by my admin to review the local Evile gig, where a certain band were opening that, in my review, I chastised for blatant plagiarism. The individual responsible was a bit of a cunt anyway; he was notoriously horrible to bands he played with and fans at his shows, he stole my music in 2008/9 (and subsequently got called out for it) and for some reason, he'd singled me out for some sort of bizarre feud where he'd copy everything I fucking did. I took over Full Thrash Assault, he suddenly announced that he was doing a festival. Broke up with my ex, he jumped on that like a free meal. I announced engagement, he followed suit. I announced I was going to be a father, sure enough, he followed soon after. So after being outed as a thief - and disappearing for the past three or four years - he's resurfaced using his old band's name to do, I shit you not, a recording-only charity album with guest artists.
Hmmmmmm.... sounds a lot like that there Nefasturris thing I've been working on for the past two years. Only a week or two after tracks were publicly aired for the first time as well. Jesus fucking christ, I don't get what his fucking problem is - had he decided to make an honest return to music and try to do things legit (i.e. not steal other bands/unsgined bands' riffs) then I'd have thought nothing of it. But making your 'return' by doing the exact sort of thing that got you in fucking trouble in the first place? REALLY? I haven't even spoken to the cunt since 2012 for fucks sake. He actually thinks that nobody has noticed, yet about four people instantly messaged me upon seeing his new 'band' page. It's fucking mindblowing.
So yeah. That had me laughing all day. I'm really bloody angry about it - obviously - but also slightly concerned about this weird sort of obsession he seems to have. On the other hand, the sheer audacity of this is so fucking maddening that I almost can't help but be impressed with him. Needless to say, a song on the album has suddenly had a lot more vitriol put into it!
We're getting the CDs pressed next month, hopefully. Money is an issue, since the pressing costs are almost 1000% of the album's sodding recording budget.
