Regarding the controversy/Police shutting down the concert on July 11, 2009 in Orangeville, Ont
Setting the record straight:

Some “concerned citizens” did call the police to have the concert shut down during the July 11, 2009 Orangeville, Ontario concert.

Yes, the barbed wire barricades that were brought and placed at the front of the stage were real. A warning was broadcast over the loudspeaker after the first song to warn people and prevent injury. Barbed wire (including its use and display) is not illegal in Ontario.

Yes, we had several firearms acquisition forms on hand at our merch booth and gave them out to anybody who asked for one. We believe the populace should have the option of owning firearms. The forms in no way guarantee a license will be granted. A series of tests and a background check must also be performed first. Handing out information that can lead to a citizen owning a legal firearm is not illegal in Ontario.

Noise levels should not have been an issue either. Orangeville's own noise bylaw #12-96 in section 4 part C exempts bands/musicians that fall under: “...or for any public celebration or other gathering for which written permission has been obtained from the town of Orangeville.” Which it was. There was no legal reason for the concert to be shut down.

Yes, we play a form of extreme metal that average people don't really 'get'. Trust us when we say this, average/popular music is just as grating to our ears as our music would be those who dislike it. That being said, no metalheads called the cops on the other bands of differing styles that were also playing. If you want your style of music played, you must also be prepared to tolerate some that you don't.

None of our equipment/props/forms were confiscated by the police. They are with us and we will continue to use them in future shows. Nor have we been banned from the city of Orangeville.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the fans/bands/venue that gave us their support in this matter. We apologize to the fans that the complaints of a few, ruined something for the rest. We shall return.

Fraud Alert Update: Monty Giddings / Montgomery Giddings / 666 inc. has ripped alot of people within the metal scene, including ourselves, Death Metal All Stars, at least 2 record labels, his ex-wife(s), his friends. His last wife is thankfully divorced from him now and has nothing to do with this idiot. His latest scheme was falsely repsresenting himself as a manager of a large band in an attempt to obtain a cash deposit, which thankfully failed. Now he tries to ask bands for $1,500 to "book" venues and "put up" flyers in Japan, this is no doubt another one of his scams. The Japanese police and a collection agency are searching for him and he's now attempting to go into hiding....again. Don't believe any of his famous lies, including: "I'm a millionaire!" and "Don't worry, I'll reimburse you." This picture should help identify this con artist. If you have any more questions or comments, please contact us.


Monty Giddings : Not a lottery winner, just a born loser.

Contract proof HERE
We made the mistake of lending this fraudster who claimed to be our friend a lot of money in order that his broke ass could make a tour happen because other people had "ripped him off". We have fulfilled our end of the deal and completed the tour and have many witnesses to confirm that fact.

This notice will stay up until the matter has been resolved.

"All of us in V.o.t.N. are glad to be working with Open Grave, it’ll give us an opportunity to get our music into the hands of a lot more people. Plus James is a pretty cool guy, we both got into death metal at around the same time and we’re into a lot of the same bands. So,it's a bonus to be working with someone sharing the same musical interests."-Wolvesblood
