Usually our referrer logs just lead us to fetish sites and people wanting to know how to make crack cocaine. But sometimes, they lead to drama! For instance, this message board post entitled “Opinion needed–Did Queensryche rip off Pure Hatred?”

I just found out about this a couple hours ago:

We need your opinion.

Pure Hatred, an independent unsigned band from Seattle, releases their CD in July 2007.

Queensryche, a signed band from Seattle known throughout the world, releases their CD in November of 2007

Take a very close look at the two pictures below, think about what you see there, and message us back.

Heavens! Well, if you don’t remember it from a few weeks ago, the Queensryche cover is above. This is the Pure Hatred cover.

Well, uh, that’s…not really close at all. Or, as another “Forums Of Filth” poster put it:

I think you both ripped of Nasum, Phobia, Toxic Holocaust and every other crust/grind/punk band who ever existed. Gas mask….city….apocalypse, ya thats never been done ever.

Also, honestly, who beefs with Queensryche?
