Uh-oh... It seems that we have another incident like the previous one ( dungeonsynth.proboards.com/thread/803/middle-ages-unveiled ), this time though it gets even worse as the ape responsible managed to even make a deal with DDR and create a 500$ hole in DDR's pocket for the cassettes made but thankfully not released just in time..

Here's in short two images with the main facts up till now :






There's not much to comment really besides the constant disappointment about how fucked up people are... Unfortunately idiots/bad apples always were around from the start.. :/

Unfortunately there's always someone who'd like to make this kind of jokes. Interestingly, a couple of guys behind the Wolfpack black/death metal zine made a similar provocation, but much more obvious: they 'recorded' a demo which was a mix of "The Return..." and "Under the Sign of Black Mark". As far as I remember, the young label guy was over the moon with the material, and even shared it quite a lot, even with people wearing Bathory t-shirts, and it took like a month to discover the joke. But that was an obvious joke, they even wrote an article on that themselves. Another rip-off story I know was, unfortunately, much more serious.

it seems he's the same guy of Octobeast and Synthosaurus....and who knows how many other comfy and dungeon projects....

Very lame. I was bummed to see the news. I was just listening to the album a few days ago.

I find this all really weird and shocking. I know I've seen people joke about how: "dungeon synth all sounds the same" but that someone could nearly get away with this and burn a $500 hole in a label's pocket scares me a little. What if no one noticed till the cassettes were being sold?
