I feel like Ben has to know that posing for this picture is going to wind a load of people (including me!) up.

Nothing to "worry" about, I'd expect that Ben would make contacts for himself.
Or maybe a landing crew for upcoming/possible operation overload?

The way his tweet is written, it's either big news or high quality trolling...

I see no problem.
Maybe they met just like so and/or talked about Diamond Black issues as DB were discussing stuff in their weekly news
including the release of their first full album next year ... https://www.youtube.com/@DiamondBlack/videos ... ...

Good luck at that, btw ... ... sounds cool ... ...

Why on earth would this wind you or anyone up and perhaps more to the point, why would it wind you or anyone up in a thread about new songs

I think they meant wind up, in the sense "don't let this get your hopes up" ^_^

Also that "cover" is really very strange. Completely fabricated vocal line...

It's dire. The ass-end of awful.

I feel like someone fed the live recording to one of those music generating AIs, wouldn't that explain the garbled lyrics and the art looks like ai too

Even if every other star in the universe were aligned, no chance Von would have anything to do with Cleopatra Records

Feels like it might be a gen-AI effort, the vocals especially remind me of the output from playing around with Suno

Can well be. Those lyrics are beyond any understanding of the original, a self-pitying complainer wrapped in sort of death metal roar ... ...

somewhat typical for the worst type of negative social media blah nowadays and more than double as long as the original of course ...

... Oh, the poor chaps ... sadly they are failed by all the healing in this song ... ...

Exaclty!
I doubt that AE, claiming he not g()th and has nothing to do with this, yet playing at g()th festival, while this label is ultra-g()th, it's a huge, enormous NO.

Trolling like it's 1997.

"This is from our new album, Butt F-ck Parlour Time on Cleopatra Records. I DON'T THINK SO!! But some of you do. You wish it was true."

I always get Switchblade Symphony mixed up with Strawberry Switchblade
