This is basically a repost of what I said on Facebook.
Ray from GraveSideService has started spreading lies about me and about the label, and everything below this is PROOF that he's lying. I have receipts for EVERY SINGLE CLAIM HE MAKES.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
1) He claims they refused payment. FALSE.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
2) He claims I removed their album. FALSE.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt with this and mentioned my problems with Kunaki, thinking he meant the CD. No, he is undeniably claiming I completely removed their album INCLUDING digital which I did not do. And while I obviously can't prove every single day it was up, I can 100% prove it was up:
from release until February 2021
in September 2021
and from April 2022 to August 2022
And why exactly would I have removed it between February and September only to bring it back? Or from September to May? Also note he made this accusation in August of 2022 and we have 100% proof that it was up IN THAT MONTH.
Also note the page source proves I last edited the album (I forget why, new CD link?) in April of 2022, moving it up an EXTRA month I can prove

FINALLY, PERSONAL STUFF.
1) Correction, ONE of their songs has the most views. Unless he's
talking about YouTube, but the channel I uploaded that to is unrelated
to APP. That's a completely separate side thing I do to promote bands,
not release their albums for profit. Either way he's still wrong,
because even on YouTube, Obliteration got more views than the one about
GSS.
1.5) Also, views don't translate into sales.
2) He claims they never wanted money. I proved this wrong above.
3) "The only band here that told you we dont need payment!"...... Other bands besides GSS who have told me they don't need payment: 1. Betheos Abshalom; 2. Sanctified Ethos; 3. Exalted Saviour; 4. Victory; 5. Hated; 6. Alabanzas Tecorpusta; 7. Sanctification; 8. Iustus Ira; 9. Horror Tomb; and 10-23. EVERY SINGLE BAND that appeared on the "Raw Unblack and Harsh Noise" compilation.
4) No, he turned around and tried to make ME look bad. You can see in our commments that he randomly began accusing ME, I did not start this, unless you count my rebukes as "starting this". But let's even say I was WRONG in my rebukes. I wasn't, but let's just say that I was. That would make me "wrong" meaning, in need of correction, NOT a "liar", meaning I'd be spreading wrong info on purpose.

1) He claims I turned against them because of our disagreements. I've proved in the other comments that no, I didn't. Yes we do disagree on MANY things. He is anti-vax, I'm pro-vax. He's a covid skeptic and I support social distancing guidelines.
HE, THE "CHRISTIAN" HERE, BELIEVES IN GHOSTS, REINCARNATION, REJECTS THE INERRANCY OF SCRIPTURE (BELIEVES IT'S BEEN CORRUPTED BY HUMANS) AND MUCH MORE, MEANWHILE I DON'T. HE FOLLOWS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (NDEs, ETC) WHILE I BELIEVE IN SOLA SCRIPTURA.
... and yet through all of these disagreements, I have PROVEN that I did NOT turn my back on them. I kept them signed and kept their music up, both for business reasons, and in hopes that Ray would eventually reject these weird beliefs and come to a closer relationship with Christ. He's gone in the opposite direction instead.
.
2) In his complaints of me coming onto his page and arguing, he makes it seem like my rebukes were random and unexpected. See also his own comment, "He just berates my solid Christian views on my private page like a oddball stalker." ......... We were Facebook friends since, either before I signed them or right after I signed them. I saw his posts constantly BECAUSE we were Facebook friends. My disagreements with him were NO MORE random, unprovoked, or stalkerish than ANY OTHER disagreement between people on Facebook. Note that in all these screenshots, I use my personal account to communicate with him, NOT this page. That's because we are added on each other's so-called "private" accounts.
Here are some of the writings of someone who is being rebuked in love by a friend/acquaintance. Or as he calls it, "berated" by "a oddball stalker":
..... and so, Ray is proven to be a two-faced, new age, compulsive liar masquerading as a "good Christian" until somebody annoys him.
GraveSideService are no longer welcome on APP as long as Ray is in the band, and I caution all labels reading this (Christian AND secular) to take note.
