Nuclear Blast Records has issued the following statement regardingOakland California based extreme metal band, ALL SHALL PERISH, and the labels current lawsuit with BitTorrent network:
“Nuclear Blast and SKP Enforcement UG, who are experienced in tracking illegal downloads and the file sharing of music, recently decided to cooperate with World Digital Rights to fight against file sharing piracy in the USA. In the United States, the providers are obligated by law to hand out the IP addresses of the computers from which the downloads / file shares were generated. By collecting this information these companies are also acting in the interest of our artists, which is essential to the future of both our bands and the label.
To be able to recoup the investments both parties have made, is crucial in order to produce new music and to survive in this business. Nuclear Blast, SKP Enforcement, and World Digital Rights want people to be aware that the peer-to-peer file sharing is illegal and hurts the bands and record companies they love.
That said, Nuclear Blast also respects bands such as ALL SHALL PERISH that do not wish to pursue file sharers. ALL SHALL PERISH was not consulted about this course of action and did not wish to participate in it whatsoever. When they learned about it, they immediately asked us to cease all legal action against their fans, file traders or otherwise, as soon as they learned this action had been taken in their name. Therefore Nuclear Blast and World Digital Rights decided recently to stop legal actions against the file sharing with songs from the band ALL SHALL PERISH.
In all other cases, the parties involved pursue those violating copyright laws to avoid the financial loss they incur and to protect the value of their copyrights.
Nuclear Blast counts on the loyal fans which have been supporting the label and our bands for over 20 years now. Every sale helps support metal and the people that work hard to bring metal to the masses. For those that continue to buy music legally, that is something every loyal fan can be proud of.”
Oakland, California based extreme metal band, ALL SHALL PERISH, has scanned 8,422 copies of their new album This Is Where It Ends in its first week of sales in the United States according to Nielson Soundscan. The record came in at #50 on the US Billboard Top 200 Chart, making it their highest first week sales ever and their highest charting release to date! In contrast, 2008’s Awaken The Dreamerssold just under 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 126.
Commented the band:
“With the news of our first week numbers, coupled with the fact we are on the biggest tour of our career, ALL SHALL PERISH couldn’t be happier! We have been a band for almost 10 years and it feels incredible to see all of our hard work paying off. Thank you to all the fans throughout our career that have supported us. See you on the road!”

All Shall Perish’s new guitarist and Berklee College of Music graduate, Francesco Artusato, has partnered up with Guitar World Magazine to present an in-depth instructional video lesson series breaking down how to play some of the most intricate parts from his all instrumental solo endeavor entitled Chaos and The Primordial. The disc is an all out technical shred fest features 10 truly diverse tracks that takes the listener on an all encompassing musical journey and the depth and diversity in which Artusato does so is astonishing. Click on the link below to watch the second lesson now and stay tuned for additional episodes over the coming weeks. http://www.guitarworld.com/article/artusato_video_lesson
Artusato states: “I just got back from the ‘Summer Slaughter’ tour, which was amazing. What a great collection of great and talented bands. I want to thank all All Shall Perish fans for being so amazing and supportive, you rule! Now it’s time to go to Europe for the ‘Hell On Earth’ tour.
“My second lesson on Guitar World has also just been posted, so go check it out. Its two examples from the song “Typhoeus” and I explain the intro solo and the chorus section. This is probably one of my favorite songs from my new solo album, Chaos and The Primordial, mainly because of its contrasting nature and the intricacy of some of the parts. It’s also very heavy.
“You can also listen to the song, “Chaos and The Primordial,” in its entirety on my MySpace page now. www.myspace.com/francescoartusatomusic It’s a very technical and intense song that has a progressive vibe with some very open and lyrical parts mixed with very powerful moments of intensity and complexity. There is also going to be a lesson on Guitar World about this song very soon.
“Thanks again to Guitar World for hosting these lessons, and stay tuned for additional episodes over the coming weeks.”
