Black lists

This is the list of labels and distros who ripped us off or just appeared to be very unreliable.
Be careful in collaboration with them!
If you think that your presence in the list is a mistake happened due to some other reasons
(e.g. communication problems or incorrect work of postal services),
please contact us and let's fix those unfinished deals.

Black Widow records (Italy)

Black Widow
Via del campo, 6 r
16124 Genova
italy

Fall 2004 I've sent 12 CDs (various) that they asked.
2 months later I've received the pack with 4 Black Widow's CDs and 8 my CDs (all of them were far from mint state, 1 of them even came cracked) and a sheet of paper with something like "there were no doom, gothic or black among the CDs you've sent, so we couldn't sell them". Of course, a lot of opinions can be there, but mostly Forgive-Me-Not is assumed gothic, Scald and Cumdeo are assumed doom, etc.
Not rip-off, but very unpleasant episode it was...

 

Dawn Of Sadness (Italy)

DAWN OF SADNESS
Cp 317
07100 Sassari
ITALY

We traded once in 2005. He sent his CDs only after receiving my pack (as he re-used my cardboard box) and he sent 2CDs less without any explanation (18 instead of 20) and he ignored all my e-mails and ICQ messages. I just don't understand why such mistake can make the partner ignore me.

 

Eat Metal Records (Greece)

EAT METAL RECORDS
c/o JIM VAGIANNIS
AKADIMIAS 84
10678 - ATHENS
GREECE

In March 2006 I've sent him 50 CDs. I haven't received anything in 2 months. Several times I mailed him but nothing in response. In 2007 I've asked another greek partner to ask him about this. He contacted me and told me that he was sure that me either got the pack or was going to get it. He promised to send the pack again but again neither I got any stuff from him nor I got any response. Only in spring 2008 Eat Metal agreed to give those CDs to my greek partner who sent them to me. Very strange episode it was, afaik Eat Metal is known as good partner in Europe...

 

Extremist Records (USA)

EXTREMIST RECORDS
601 Wrens Path
Akron, Ohio
44319 USA

In October 2004 I've sent him 22CDs. Neither CDs nor response from him from that time.
Rip-off.

 

Funeral Records (aka Peri Management) (Italy)

GILBERTO PERI
VIA STEVENSON 24
00162 ROMA
ITALY

We made 1st trade in the spring of 2005 without any problems, but when we decided to trade 13 more CDs, his pack hasn't come (it could be lost). I'd told him about this and he promised to send it again, but nothing yet come.

 

Grom Records (Serbia)

Milan Rakic
Vuka Karadzica 12
25263 Prigrevica
SERBIA

In April 2007 I've sent him 8 CDs. Neither responce nor CDs from that time.
I know that this bastard is drug-dependent, so don't have any deals with him.
Rip-off.

 

Oak Knoll Productions (USA)

Oak Knoll Productions
c/o Jeremy R. Bennett
72 Handy Street
Attleboro, MA 02703 USA

In the end of 2005 we had a big trade and among received CDs there were 9 unusable CDs and 6 CD-Rs. Several times they asked me about a new trade but each time when I reminded them that they have to replace unusable CDs and to compensate the CDs that appeared CD-Rs (strange that some people can't see the difference between pressed CD and cyanine CD-R with the label made with inkjet printer) they prefer not to respond at all.

 

Perish In Light (Germany)

Thomas Langefeld
Raderstr. 50
42499 Huckeswagen
Germany

In summer 2005 we had traded 13 CDs. In the pack he sent some items (afair, 2 booklets and 2 CDs completely) were missing. After telling him about this fact, he hadn't replied, but did send another pack with missing CDs but instead of missing booklets he sent the same CDs and inlays also without booklets. Not a rip-off, but probably either his english or his attentiveness is too bad.

 

Ravenheart Records (Czech)

Hlisnikovsky Zdenek
Radova 1440
739 34 SENOV
Czech Republic

In 2004 we've traded 10 CDs. He sent 10x of his pro CD-R release and when I told him that CD-Rs cost 2x less than pressed CDs even if CD-Rs are pro-done he refused to compensate this and to understand the difference between pressed CD and pro-done CD-R.

 

Somber Music (Brazil)

CLąUDIO MAZOTI
PO Box 2089
06194-970 Osasco / SP
BRAZIL

In August 2006 I've sent them 38 CDs.
I'd written him several times, but neither CDs nor responce I've got.
Rip-off.

 

The LSP Company (former Shiver Records) (Belgium)

THE LSP COMPANY BVBA
ANTWERPSESTEENWEG 106
2350 VOSSELAAR
BELGIUM

In summer 2006 I sent them 90 CDs but nothing came from them. I mailed them several times but only in summer 2007 I'd got an answer with the promises to make the situation clear ASAP. And again neither CDs nor more answers.
Rip-off.

 

The Miskatonic Foundation (UK)

THE MISKATONIC FOUNDATION
PO BOX 599
HUDDERSFIELD
HD5 0XD
U.K.

In autumn 2004 we've sent them a pack with 20CDs. In responce we were told that their pack came back. After this Rich told us that his partner ripped his off and he is out of money and out of CDs. But as we know, the label works now but we haven't got either tradestuff or any explanation.

 

Underground Resistance Distribution (Serbia)

Micic Milorad
Brace Rabrenovic # 1
32250 Ivanjica
SERBIA

In summer 2006 I've sent him 35 CDs and nothing I've got in exchange.
100% rip-off, many labels were ripped off by this bastard.

 

Vicious Recordings (aka Selbstmord Services) (Sweden)

vicious recordings
box 237
301 06 halmstad
sweden

In February 2005 I've sent them 17 CDs. After several months when I mailed them they responded that they sent the pack and were sure that I'd got it but if not they are going to send it again. Nothing came.
100% rip-off, many labels were ripped off by this label that is nevertheless real label with real releases.

Another reports collection:

PULSAR LIGHT Records (ITALY)
Still owes us over 70 cds that we've shipped a year ago! Various e-mails didn't do it! We know they riped off various past associates in the last few years. Be on the look out if you deal with that "label"!

IMPALED Productions (ESTONIA)
We've shipped them 15 cds in trade for their first release without ever getting anything in returno close to a year ago! Numerous e-mail then 1 reply "sorry, our apologies, we ship right away" and then no more replies to any of our e-mailso and obviously no package never showed up!

FATHER PRODUCTIONS (LATVIA)
We have shipped them 7 cds and we never got anything back except one e-mail, like 4 months ago , saying "sorry for the delay, sending soon" and since theno nada! We have sent our stuff out on June 6th 2004! 7 cds is not the end of the world but still, it sucks being riped off like that!

EMBRACE MY FUNERAL (MEXICO)
We've shipped our package before the end of September 2004 and in december we've e-mailed the guy in charge asking what was going on with our package - no reply whatsoever in January, we e-mailed again and got a link to his website for an answer. So we are not expecting anything from this so-called "label" obviously.. we got ripped off again!

E.E. RECORDS (GERMANY)
That dumbass riped us off about 15 cds.. Wehave traded with this so-called serious label early 2005 and we are still waiting for its package or a reply to our many e-mails in November. Well, life goes on. But please be careful if you deal with that dick! And he's stupid enough to add us to his mass e-mails asking for new trades etc. We have no time to deal with ass holes, life's too short!

EXORCISE MUSIC (PORTUGAL)
Just 5 cds still, it sucks getting ripped off like that ! No reply to our e-mails and allo is this scene going to hell with all of those fake labels, idiots corrupting the scene!? Well, they will all end up in here!

Reported by Amputated Vein Records

Hey, Amputated Vein Records here. We want to let you know.
If you run a label or distro, or you have a mailorder, do not trade
with fucking GAY "Mario Cuber" from Costa Rica-Central America.
Probabry he will offer you "ALASTOR SANGUINARY EMBRYO" CDs in trade.
But he won't send you anything. We sent our 10 cds to this GAY
in Nov 2004, but we haven't got anything from this GAY until now.
So be careful !

Here is the address of GAY named "Mario Cuber"
from Costa Rica-Central America.
He needs only big cock. If you are GAY,
leave for costa rica soon. He is waiting for you.

MARIO CUBERO
APDO 93-4030
ALAJUELA
COSTA RICA
- CENTRAL AMERICA -

And be carefull also the following gays.

We sent too many emails to Mario Cubero over a half year, but no
answer from him.
On August 30th, we got email from him, so after we sent "Rip off
alart" to you and other labels. He hadn't sent his cds. He said
recently he sent his cds with registered.

We hope we could receive it.

If we didn't send Rip off alart, then he might be going to rip us
off, we are not sure though.

Anyway, when we got his cds, then we are gonna send email to you
again about he was not a rip offer, and apologize to him for using
offensive word.

Just for your information, we haven't got trade stuff from the
following bands and labels / distros.
We decided we don't say "Rip offer" or something like that word.
We don't know definitely they are rip offer, but the only thing
that we can say to you is "be careful".

Undying Music (Indonesia)
Asian Hordes Distro. (Philippines)
Pyrolagnia Rec. (Russia)
Goreblaster Distro. / Gored (TX,US)
Wasteform (NY,US)
Carnality (GA,US)

 

Reported by Propaganda:

PROPAGANDA is here. We'd want to take some your time but it deserves
your attention. Rip-off of philippines' level has appeared in Europe.
Remember this wormy name:
micic milorad from Serbia. Be cautious with this bastard hiding under
different names (miki, Moloch, Knjaz Nazgul) and e-mail
nosferatu@EUnet.yu. He tried to deceive us on 29 cd's offering the
trade and interview for S.M.A.G.P. 666' zine (though the real editor
of this zine told us that he has nothing to do with him). Under the
name of "underground resistance distribution" he offers for trade and
sale so-called top releases. At-first he wanted to get LUCIFUGUM "The
Supreme Art of Genocide" CD's, but after our answer "no problem, but
you should send your part of trade first" he refused from the trade,
motivating that he already has 30 copies. Moreover (!), he has told
that he hears about this trade for the first time and that last time
we talked to other person (though from editor of S.M.A.G.P. 666' zine
we know that this rat runs "distro" by himself only). A standard cheap
trick for those who use different names from one e-mail address.

Also we have got the message from Griffin Music. The label informed
us that they also had the same experience of communication with this
gipsy rat. This time this bastard had only two names: Konstantin and
Moloch. Again he offered so called "headline" bands for trade, and
again has refused from the trade after the requirement to send his
part first.

And again this rat has left its dirty traces.
Southern Warfare Prod. (Chile) was deceived by this ass-hole.

One more fact: the message which has been received recently from
Venedae band (Poland):
"This scum owe me 10 CDs for trade since June... He has got my stuff
for trade as first (1 T-Shirt, 5 Tapes and 7 CDs) and wrote he send
out 10 CDs for trade, but this package was stolen etc. Maybe you'll be
interested in that fact... Kill him!"

So you're warned. Be cautious when going to deal with someone from
Serbia, this case is not the single though the most "bright". We have
not appeared deceived only because were attentive.

With Diabolical Obsession and scorn of life,
PROPAGANDA

DEATHTHRASHER MAGAZINE has nothing to do with this scum, whose only goal was to obtained free stuff from people in the Metal world. His "technique"included the offering of the front cover of the Magazine, tour dates in Lima -Peru, and songs in a Compilation he said he was working on. This scum also included T- shirts and the claim of a supposed Manager, that never existed, but who was always rushing bands to send their material as soon as possible, with the excuse of a deadline. THIS ASSHOLE NEVERHAD ANYTHING, WAS NEVER PART OF ANY MAGAZINE, NEVER HAD A MANAGER,NEITHER A RECORD LABEL NOR A WEBSITE. HE IS JUST A SIMPLE BASTARD WHO LIKESTO GET STUFF FOR FREE AND THEN SELLS IT IN A PLACE CALLED "GALERIAS BRASIL" IN LIMA - PERU.Now that his scam has been uncover he is using the name of OCCULTISM MAGAZINE, OCULTISMO MAGAZINE or LORD OCULTUS for the same purposes explained lines above. There is no proof of the existence of such Magazine, in fact if any of you guys ask him for a copy or whatever,he won't send you anything because that publication does not exist.He is not using his real name CHRISTIAN FELIPE PAUCAR TOLEDO anymore because he knows that everybody is aware of his"practices".

"Some years ago they released a "Tribute To MERCYFUL FATE" Cd and asked me for drawing a coverartwork for it. I did and the Cd was released with it, but those guys never paid me for the drawing. Recently I came to their website http://www.stilldead.com/ and asked again for my money and they offered me to send Cds of their company instead of the money. We agreed and told them to send the Cds as soon as possible but we never received anything! I wrote tons of mails to them to ask about possibillities to get this problem solved, but they never answered again. As I know from some friendly Bands,
most of the participating Bands on this "Tribute"-sampler also never received anything, not even a copy of proof of the Cd." [Mike/DRAGON DESIGN]

Hellz! This is Aleksandr again with same problem as was sometime ago. Here's yet one bastard working amongst us!

Here's passed about 7 months as they "sending" advert payment (16 CD's). First time they wrote that pack was lost somewhere in the post, abd they "sent" yet one pack, but second pack, as they said - "was returned", and they will ship it again (for a 3-d time), so since their latest message passed more than month... I sent them some count of e-mails while this period and have no answers, in fact they have get all my messages ('coz on myspace shows last date when "owner" was on profile...). Also I've heard about their "work" of one German label and yet couple... Spread please this info!

Warlord Distro (from Indonesia) is a COMPLETE Rip off!
They also go by the name 'Andreas Distro' and i believe they use images of sexy metal-head girls to trick guys into buying there stuff.
I was first messaged on myspace and she was 'flirting' with me in a way with smiley faces, *kisses*, '<333' (as in hearts) and she kept saying MUCH LOVE TO YOU BABY and stuff like that...... i was kinda grossed out. Like who does that? Haha.
but then i looked at her pictures and distro list and found a couple very RARE shirts that i was interested in buying.. so she told me to send her $75 in a registered letter to a PO box. in Indonesia... at first i didnt feel safe doing it. but i eventually sent it, and its been almost 2 years now and she hasnt replied to my messages or emails. i should have went with my GUT feeling.... it also cost $25 to send that registered letter, because she told me to put the money in the back of a CD case.. so it was a heavy letter.. so overall i was ripped off for a estimate of total $100 US dollars.

Warlord distro
I got ripped off big time by warlord distro from indonesia i sent them $275 dollars for rare hoodies and shirts at wholesale price for my death metal distro Warsaw Distribution. Its been about a over a month and nothing. They have deleted there myspace and dont have there website up anymore. The last time they responded to a message they said they sent it out and that was three weeks ago. i didnt think i was getting ripped off until I came across this site and found warlord distro in the black list. After that i pretty muched knew i was scammed.
