(TeamRock Radio) Decapitated have revealed that they had to withdraw the limited edition t-shirts they hoped would raise money for a legal battle against former label Earache Records.

The Polish death metal outfit announced this week that they were launching legal proceedings against the UK-based label and asked fans to snap up the new merchandise to raise funds to pay for lawyers.

But the band now report that they have withdrawn the t-shirts from sale after Earache served them with a cease and desist letter, claiming they hold the rights to the images used.

In response to Decapitated announcing they were looking to sue, Earache dismissed the band's claims as "garbage" and said the matter had already been ruled for in their favor by a court. Read more here.
