The UK band Malevolence<\/strong> had to remove their most recent music video due to an issue with a UK nature and conservation charity due to the band’s “unauthorized” use of some land for their newest music video.<\/p>\n Nuclear<\/strong> Blast<\/strong> Records<\/strong> took down the Malevolence<\/strong> video for their song, “Salt From The Wound,” on Tuesday (10 June) after the charity threatened to pursue legal action and refused to compromise in any way, according to a statement from Malevolence<\/strong>, apparently due to the fact that the band didn’t ask to use some of the areas showcased in their music video.<\/p>\n In a statement posted to Facebook, Malevolence<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n “Sadly, our latest video for “Salt The Wound” has been forcibly removed from the Nuclear<\/strong> Blast<\/strong> YouTube channel due to threats of legal action made by @NationalTrust.<\/em><\/p>\n Apparently pretending to play guitar for a couple of hours on a public path that thousands of tourists walk up every single day is a criminal offence worth pursuing.<\/em><\/p>\n Attempts were made by our team to find a resolution for the situation, which have been entirely refused.<\/em><\/p>\n The video is a celebration of where we come from and we’re proud of what we’ve made.<\/em><\/p>\n Fortunately\u2026 someone has anonymously uploaded a version back to YouTube.<\/em><\/p>\n You can watch it now at the link in our bio.<\/em><\/p>\n Thank you always for the support, When Metal Hammer<\/a><\/em> asked the National Trust for a response, a spokesperson said that the charity “always [has] to balance the needs of people with the needs of nature and wildlife, and our costs as a charity,” and that “any filming for commercial activity needs permission and sometimes a fee, which will go toward the landscapes and nature.”<\/p>\n And, apparently due to the spokesperson, the video had been “uploaded before an agreement could be reached.”<\/p>\n As of Sunday (15 June), the video is still not up on the Nuclear<\/strong> Blast<\/strong> YouTube channel, and the band’s upcoming album, Where Only The Trust Is Spoken<\/em> is out on Friday (20 June). <\/p>\n You can pre-order the record here<\/a>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
