Press release: Thunderslave album to be CANCELLED and DELETED.
Dear friends, partners and media.
26th of June, 2020 was the release date of the debut full-length album of Thunderslave from Monterrey, Mexico, under the title "Unchain the Night". Everything was set, CD copies were paid, manufactured and delivered, the promotion campaign started and everything was ready for the release of the album. Two days ago, on 9th of June, we were informed by a band member that he was involved in "something" while drunk and with a few friends they broke "something". It is a common thing we assume to have a fight sometimes or break "something"; it is part of the rock 'n' roll and heavy music history, after all. But there are always LINES for what's accepted and what not. Not grey lines, but bold and serious lines, that once crossed, each party needs to make a decision based on its ethics. No Remorse Records always supports the bands and our artists, which in many cases have a long cooperation with the label, mutual respect and friendship.
It was just this morning, on 11th of June, where we were informed and found out what actually happened, involving Thunderslave. A company of young people entered the Santa María Pantheon, in the municipality of Apodaca, destroying tombstones, mausoleums and crosses, which they demolished. From the moment that there is already a video of the cemetery vandalism (that we just saw today) it makes no sense for the label to wait on police reports and other related news, since violence and vandalism are among the things against our ethics. We always support free will but we also have the right to set those LINES according to our ethics and label's professionalism. We also don't want to use such acts as "advertisement", so we have no other option than CANCELLING and DELETING this release and END our cooperation with Thunderslave and the members involved.
Thunderslave are free to join any other label and release their album. To all those who have pre-ordered the (upcoming) Thunderslave album "Unchain the Night", the price for that item will be refunded. Our apologies.
To all media that have already received copies since the promotion campaign have started, we recommend you to destroy those copies and we want to make clear that No Remorse Records won't have any further cooperation and/or relation with Thunderslave. Thanks for the understanding.
With respect, No Remorse Records

Krass!
Gut von der Plattenfirma, wie bescheuert von den Donnersklaven!

Ich bin natürlich bei dir, was den Verkauf von solchen Bands angeht. Dennoch ist es noch eine andere Hausnummer, wenn man selbst etwas mit zweifelhaftem Background releast als es „nur“ zu verkaufen. Das ist es wohl, was NRR mit der persönlichen Grenze meinen.
Sehe ich genau so, da eine Band auch das Label repräsentiert. Und von daher kann ich das nachvollziehen, auch wenn jetzt 500 fertige CDs vernichtet werden. Aber konsequent.

Das hat mich heute schon amüsiert, dass es sowas noch gibt. Ganz tief in die Metal-Klischeekiste gegriffen. Dummerweise springe ich auf Klischees dauernd an, und mein Interesse ist geweckt 
Schön bescheuert ist es natürlich trotzdem. NRR sollen machen was sie für sinnvoll erachten, und ich sehe ihre Entscheidung tatsächlich mehr als einen geschäftlichen Move denn als moralisches Urteil. So á la: "Woran soll man sich bei einer Band aus unserem Stall sicher sein? Richtig, dass sie dir nicht die Hütte zerlegen (im nicht-musikalischen Sinn)."

Geht sprachlich übrigens ziemlich ab in den Medien: "ein Akt der Entweihung und Barbarei"

Die Kirche ist dort halt auch ziemlich krass (lies: autoritär, einflussreich, harte Gesellschaftspolitik betreibend) und die Jungs und ihre Familien vermutlich gesellschaftlich erledigt, wenn nicht schlimmeres. Von einem "friedlichen, pluralistischen Nebeneinander" kann dort auch ganz ohne solche Deppenaktionen nicht die Rede sein, und jetzt ist das halt wie bestellt - der degenerierte HM-Jugend vs Gemeinschaft der Anständigen-Film läuft grade sicher wie in der guten alten Zeit.

Behalten, warten, in ein paar Jahren evtl. damit dumm und dämlich verdienen.

Sollte Ozzy noch einmal touren, wäre das doch die perfekte Vorband. Good ol' days...
