(Metal Hammer) Avenged Sevenfold's M Shadows says the release of their highly anticipated This Is Bat Country DVD is out of their hands amid legal wranglings with their label Warner Bros.
The vocalist says their estranged record company own the rights to the footage - but he doesn't think it was "good enough" to come out anyway. Shadows tells Loudwire: "The reality is the DVD just never got there. I know some fans don't want to hear this, but for us when we're looking at something and deciding on whether to put it out or not, it's gotta go through some sort of process or, 'Is this good enough to come out?'"
He adds: "We're still trying to make tweaks to it, but then there's also the Warner Bros thing. We're not with Warner Bros anymore and they own the rights to that footage.
"So, I don't know what's going to happen with that DVD. The real answer is just that it wasn't up to par with what we wanted to be releasing." Read more here.
