Mrs. Schuldiner Responds To Hammerheart Release

Chuck Schuldiner's mother has written a plea to boycott any unofficial and unauthorized Death / Chuck material.

Dear fans, This is Chuck's mom. The latest threat of Guido (Heynen/Hammerheart Records) is that he will release a demo of Chuck's music on CD if the Schuldiner family does not do what he wants. The courts here in the US will decide the rights to that album and neither GH/HHR nor the Schuldiner family has the right to release any part of it until it is decided by a judge and jury here in the US. He is taking advantage of and damaging Chuck's reputation and memory, and is hurting this family and the release of Chuck's album enormously in the process. It is sacrilege. I am asking that none of you buy this CD and that you respect Chuck's memory by waiting for the full album. Just as the people who sell shirts and merchandise are making money off Chuck's memory, if you do not buy it, then it will fail. If GH/HHR does go against Chuck's attorney's advice and releases that music, then the album will not be released. What would be the point? Jane Schuldiner

A Perfect Circle Discuss Their Unique Situation

Chris Harris of the Hartford Advocate caught up with A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel about the group's seeming instability with Troy Van Leeuwen and Paz Lenchantin defecting, while Maynard Keenan devotes most of his time to Tool. "We all knew going into this band that it was one of those unique situations," he explained. "I mean, believe me -- I'd prefer being in a band that's does a tour, comes off the road, does an album, goes on tour again. But that's not the way it was set up, and everyone in the band knew that."
