Apocalyptica comments on illegal use of song by Czech Republican Party

APOCALYPTICA have issued the following message:

"This is on an official statement by the band about the illegal use of our song 'Path' in a TV and internet commercial in the Czech Republic.

Apocalyptica always supports minorities, stands up for human rights, respects every human being, no matter their colour, ethnic background or religion, worldwide.

Apocalyptica also supports the idea of a united Europe and the European Union.

We hope it is a clear statement that we would never allow the Czech Republican party 'Národní Strana' to use any of our music. The fact is, we were never asked if they could use our material.

Beside the fact that we are mortified by the illegal use, 'Národní Strana' has contravened the law with the owners of the rights for the song 'Path' in Czech Republic, who are Universal Music Publishing and Universal Music.

Both companies will start legal proceedings against the party now.

Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Perttu Kivilaakso and Mikko Siren."
