Avenged Sevenfold han sido demandados por su discográfica Warner Bro. Records, por incumplimiento de contrato y daños compensatorios.
Avenged Sevenfold
El grupo editó cuatro discos con Warner, pero a finales del año pasado el grupo anunció a la compañía que no quería contar más con sus servicios, citando que según la ley laboral de California, el límite de duración contractual es de siete años, y la formación lleva diez en Warner.
La compañía discográfica, por su parte, ha declarado que no se aplica la norma de los siete años, pues el grupo está aún obligado a un CD/DVD en vivo. Originalmente, la banda firmó para 5 discos, y aparentemente las negociaciones para el sexto álbum no cuajaron.
Habrá que ver en que acaba este litigio entre Warner y Avenged Sevenfold.
Este es el comunicado que la banda ha colgado en su página web oficial:
“We recently exercised our rights under California law and notified Warner Bros. Records we would no longer record for them. Few of the executives who have been integral to our continued success are still at the label, and we love and are grateful to them for their hard work. However, since we signed with the label, Warner Bros. has had 3 different regimes, multiple heads of marketing, and none of the senior management or A&R executives who were at the company and responsible for signing us are still there.
Whatever the activity, it takes a full team to compete, and we no longer know most of our teammates. In the coming days, you may read about the lawsuit our label filed against us for exercising our legal rights, rights the State of California granted specifically to protect artists. You may see mistaken facts or worse.
One such error we want to make sure you know about: Avenged Sevenfold has never renegotiated its original recording agreement with Warner Bros. Records. Billboard has now corrected its story to reflect the real facts.
Most importantly, we want our fans to know this: we are in the middle of writing a record we cannot wait for you to hear. We expect to go into the studio very soon, and look forward to releasing our new album later this year.
Until then, we wish all of you a happy, healthy 2016.”
