Black Metal 2014

Subject: ATTN: Record label out of copyright/license

Greetings,

It was brought to our attention recently that a Ronald Ramirez, aka Going Underground Records (or Wands Records) @ 18221 G St, Bakersfield, CA 93301 has been manufacturing and distributing unauthorized copies of an album from our band catalog, which they do not own the rights to, as well as their license to this material being expired for over two years.

Below is the catalog information: Band: Sutekh Hexen Album: Luciform Label: Wands

We are moving forward with the necessary steps in order to resolve this situation and need to find out which vinyl pressing/manufacturers are handling the production. We respectfully request immediate termination of further production of this record as of immediately, as the label will be sent a proper cease and desist in the coming months if this is not handled.

One of our sources suggested to get in touch with Bill Smith Custom Records or Erika Records, and we are trying to determine how many pressings have been issued, what the color-breakdown per pressing has been, and how he has been able to channel what is essentially an unauthorized bootleg into the market.

Please respond at your earliest convenience.

Thank you, Andrew, Joshua, Ryan and Kevin

2014 Begins with more amateur hour actions from Kevin and his new recruits. Sorry boys but I haven't repressed this record and had no plans to make anymore. Believe your small fan base has had it's fill of this one...be it"Partially Un-official" Or "Official".

That being said there are three pressings, all in somewhat small numbers

There was never any "contract" signed between Scott, Kevin or Myself...When we released the first two records they only had 3 tapes out that were limited...not really the type of band that requires a contract.

Sutekh Hexen is a joke, Kevin is a fake and this black noise shit can fuck off.

Lastly please remember the Song writer and true owner of Luciform was paid for the final pressing. Best.

Presents.

Since I have been labeled as a thief and a bootlegger by Kevin, I will now share information that he has kept secret. This was sent to Kevin via email from Scott on 9/25/12,Hope you internet trolls hate it. Scott Sutekh Hexen 9/25/12 Hey Man, I've been thinking about it and I really feel that SH has run it's course and needs to be gracefully and respectfully put to rest. I am not presenting this with any confrontation, but I do believe that the catalog has been made widely available to the masses and with the exception of the Liles sessions, I'd really prefer that nothing else is done with the material that I wrote for the band. I am all for the back catalog being made available for free download somewhere, but it has no place being sold in any other platform than that which already exists. I understand that the BTT songs need to remain on itunes in order to keep sales going for Brent, but when that goes OPP, I'd like for the digital sales to be laid to rest too. I am all for people having the tracks for free, but there doesn't need to be any capital created for a band that no longer exists in it's true form. I love you and Andy very much, both as human beings and musicians, but it's not SH anymore and with all due respect for the blessings that were bestowed upon us from the beginning until the fallout, it would be natural for the name to be no longer used for the project. I want to reiterate that I don't mean any of this confrontational, but respectfully. It was a great time that we shared in together and I am glad that you were able to take the vision on the road, but nothing lasts forever and we must all move on and allow the legacy to speak for itself. SH doesn't exist without you and I and whereas I do appreciate the videos I have watched of you and Andy playing, it's just not up to par with what we created together, there's no riffs or dynamics that made SH what it was, there's no hate, no metal, no focus upon channeling the bringer of light, no ritual to follow or honor given to the sanctity of the divine blessings. I know that can be misconstrued as an insult, which it isn't meant to be, I just mean it now sounds like Fermentae +1, which it is, but it's not in any way SH and shouldn't be represented as such. So, hopefully you can honor this request and we can properly lay the baby to bed, she has earned her sleep. I hope that this all came out right and that nothing came across as being anything but straight from the heart. I know that I struggle with words and that my shit can get jumbled up and lose direction really fast, so hopefully that didn't happen. We had a great run, man,we really fucking did and now it's time to pay our respects to the currents that enabled us to have been used as vessels for the grand ritual. Thank you in advance, Scott

Viral-optic

A former member of Sutekh Hexen mailed me earlier to let me know the current member of Sutekh Hexen is cry-babying around the internet about our new pressing of the Luciform album. Let it be known that this small pressing that was authorized by Sutekh Hexen and Sutekh Hexen will be given the standard 15% as normal. The mastering and pressing is the same as the last two pressings and the band was very happy with those at the time as were many of you. If you choose to support this puppet show of Sutekh that was once a great idea that's fine.But let it be told that Kevin didn't write the music,nor the lyrics, nor was he part of any of the true rituals that were behind the idea of SH. Kevin is nothing but an actor , a cowardly snake that is good with photoshop. Trying very hard to be some type of low level rock star playing songs that someone else wrote for him. Since this has been dragged into the public light as some type of "Boycott" on Wands you,the buying public, can do what you feel is best for you. I'll finish by saying that copies will be sent to the person that is behind LUCIFORM, the same person that wrote Behind the Throne and was received NOTHING..the same person that wrote all the tracks on the LARVAE CS and received NOTHING...the Euro Lp ...the Reel...the Andrew Liles LP/CD/CS etc etc. Sutekh was an amazing thing at one point,but it's ruined now. Believe it or don't, I don't care. WANDS
