    Quoted AGAIN: "For the record it was the guitarist who cried about albums being ripped on the internet, I was (and still am) pro downloading."

    "I like it but dont understand the Vocalist... he had an account on oink and moaned when the II album's scene leek appeared but downloaded other people's albums? hmm he then went on a rampage through mp3 blog sites demanding them take down the album from the sites. I think he needs to realise he's in a doom metal band and not many people are going to pay for the album as there's better ones to buy" Sheesh don't remind me, I was posting on Lucidmedia at the time, he actually came onto lambgoat and whined & threw a gigantic wobbler, funniest thing since Gabe 357 got offended over us not liking crimson syndicate.
