PRESS RELEASE: Lawsuits Over Controversial Single Dropped
As many Crucificionados know, we got into a lot of trouble over our first single, “Thunderbird.” Finally, those troubles have been resolved. Our new publicist, Lacey Greenwood, has written a press release explaining the details of the situation. Here it is:

LAWSUITS OVER CONTROVERSIAL SINGLE DROPPED
HOLLYWOOD, April 11, 2007 — When Abysmal Crucifix released their sophomore effort, Two Berries on a Twig, in 1996, none of them would have guessed the album would generate a level of controversy almost unheard of for a heavy-metal band on the fringes of the L.A. rock scene.
The controversy? The album’s third track, “Thunderbird,” which chronicles a drunken barfight from the perspective of a jealous, inebriated rocker. For legendary California winers Ernest & Julio Gallo, it was a simple matter of trademark infringement: the song and single cover both include veiled references to Thunderbird, a well-known fortified wine produced by the E & J Gallo Winery. The Ford Motor Company, on the other hand, alleged that the song contains references to drunk driving and suicide by automobile. In particular the chorus, repeated four times in just under three minutes, contains the following lines: “Free as bird, high as a kite! / Thunderbird, take me away! / Forget this life, and all of its pain!”
Songwriter and Abysmal Crucifix frontman Girth McDürchstein has always responded to these allegations by explaining that the chorus “represents that certain frame of mind you have while under the influence of alcohol, especially cheap wine. Instead of being repressed, you feel free. Instead of feeling constant dread, pain, sorrow, whatever, you completely forget yourself and do something insane like beating the hell out of someone at the club. The idea of driving around drunk never even entered my mind [while writing this song].”
Unfortunately for McDürchstein, the Ford Motor Company’s arsenal of attorneys vastly outmeasured the one-man counsel of Kelleystein Recordings, the label McDürchstein founded in 1995. California attorney Lem Zisk represented the label from its inception through 1999. Regarding the case, Zisk was quoted in 1997 as saying, “It’s completely baseless and moronic, but these people have millions of dollars and they won’t stop until they crush [my client].”
Crush them they did. Earlier this year Kelleystein Recordings announced it was shutting its doors for, among other things, its drained pool of financial resources. Ten years of litigation wasn’t the only cause of Kelleystein’s demise, but it contributed significantly. Kelleystein chief financial officer DJ Koko declined repeated requests to comment, but much of their financial situation is a matter of public record, reported in such genre-‘zines as Hardchord and Slut-Wrench.
With the dissolution of Kelleystein Recordings in January, both the Gallos and Ford finally backed off of their suits, because they no longer had anything to sue. While McDürchstein did found and preside over the record label, is it his fault that the “Thunderbird” single was marketed with a cover glaringly similar to the Thunderbird fortified wine label? As a result of a dispute with Finkner Distribution of Palmetto, Florida, Two Berries on a Twig (both the original version and reissue) and the CD maxi-single have been out of print since 2003.
Without a record label or distributor, nobody will have access to this song. Former White House Deputy Counsel and current Ford Motor Company general counsel David G. Leitch puts it rather sensibly: “What’s the point? The bizarre legal tack taken by Dennis Ross, the previous counsel, should have been dropped years ago, but of course that was before my time. I didn’t even know of the suit until the record company shut down [in January].”
Abysmal Crucifix, preparing for a record release in June and a tour of the United States this summer, are breathing a sigh of relief with this news. “I always new they were full of shit,” says McDürchstein, “and this just proves it.” It does indeed.

VIRGINIA TECH TRIBUTE SINGLE — “Gangster Lovestick”
First, I need to get something off my chest. Seung Hui Cho is a reprehensible human being, a blight on this earth who I am glad we are rid of, though I am horrified and saddened that he chose to take others’ lives in addition to his own. With that said, I’ve read numerous disappointing articles trying to assign blame to something or someone other than Cho himself. I’ll ignore the violent video game issue since his own roommate claims he never saw Cho play one, but as evidenced by Abysmal Crucifix’s double-album The Hedge, I’m no fan of blaming video games for violent outbursts. I have played and continue to play violent video games, and I’m fine.
No, I’m more concerned and disappointed with those claiming Cho’s short stories and plays—a few of which were “leaked” on the Internet—have anything to do with the cause of his massacre. Proponents of censorship have come out of the woodwork to use Cho as an example—but why? If anything, this writing could have helped people see this coming—in fact, professors and students who did read this thought there was something deeply wrong with him. Who could have guessed what would happen? How can you help somebody (as they tried to) when he won’t help himself?
Cho’s writing shouldn’t be blamed. Even if it’s a way to look into his mind and understand him, who could have guessed? When I was in high school, I used to write short stories and plays (and eventually song lyrics and formal poetry, which I continue to write). Maybe they pointed to a horrific, demented psyche. I don’t think so; I’ve never had a felony conviction that stuck. So I dug through all my old shit and found an old play to share with you, because I think it’s important to show that kids can express themselves without it signaling something horrible. It’s called Charlie Whores, and it’s about the complex relations between fathers and sons and husbands and wives. I wrote it when I was 15 (way back in the fall of 1989). I hope you dig it.

Below this is another press release, talking about a single Abysmal Crucifix is releasing as a tribute to those lost in the Virginia Tech tragedy. I hope it speaks to you all.

HEAVY METAL LEGENDS ANNOUNCE FIRST WORLD TOUR IN 10 YEARS
HOLLYWOOD, June 16, 2007 — For Abysmal Crucifix, the past two years have seen in-fighting, production problems, financial difficulties, embarrassment, and failure. In recent weeks, the band has regrouped and tried to put their recent problems in the past while looking ahead to the future. Slated for an October release, they are nearing completion of their latest album (Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Return’). Before the tentative release date, Abysmal Crucifix wants to return to the hearts and minds of fans and consumers—with a world tour.
Dates have been set for performances in Japan and many Scandinavian nations in July and August. More dates will be announced as they are booked. For the moment, the OFFICIAL TOUR DATES are:
| Date | City | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 7.7.07 | Turku | Ruisrock Festival |
| 7.11.07 | Helsinki | Kyrpien keskitalvi |
| 7.13.07 | Oslo | Das Auge des Gotthaus |
| 7.14.07 | Oslo | Das Auge des Gotthaus |
| 7.18.07 | Stockholm | Arenan |
| 7.20.07 | Lund | Mejeriet |
| 7.22.07 | Reykjavík | Grand Rokk |

Tickets will be available for purchase starting this Sunday (June 17, 2007).
Abysmal Crucifix’s friend/artist, Alistair Freeman (designer of each Abysmal album cover and logo) has created two promotional posters to be distributed by Abysmal Crucifix’s Japanese street teams. Unfortunately, when we contacted members of our Scandinavian street teams for aid in translation and distribution, we received few responses. Those who did reply suggested their time would be better spent “hunting gypsies.” We assume this is an odd language-barrier malapropism. Check out the Japanese promotional posters below.

PRESS RELEASE: Girth McDürchstein Presents: ‘If I Did It…’
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

1142 Wilshire Blvd.
Suite 600
Los Angeles, CA 90017
WRONGFULLY ACCUSED ROCKER TELLS HIS STORY
HOLLYWOOD & TOKYO, June 28, 2007 — I’m going to tell you a story you’ve never heard before, because no one knows this story the way I know it. It takes place on the night of November 9, 1999, and it concerns the murder of a Chilean-American prostitute and a young busboy/pimp. I want you to forget everything you think you know about that night because I know the facts better than anyone. I know the players. I’ve seen the evidence. And, of course, I’ve read all the stories: That I did it.
When Girth McDürchstein was accused, convicted, and eventually incarcerated for two murders (and one count of rape that was dropped when forensic evidence revealed the victim had already expired), he made a plea heard ‘round the world: “I didn’t do it!” In 2001, new evidence proved him right and led to his exoneration and release.
The experience inspired Abysmal Crucifix’s double-album masterpiece, Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Hedge’, but now McDürchstein has decided to tell another story—the story of a rock star driven to the brink of insanity, forced to commit murder and all manner of unseemly crimes of passion. McDürchstein tells it the way only a songwriter can: as a full-length novel.
What would have happened if Girth McDürchstein really had murdered those people in cold blood, for petty and selfish—but morally justifiable—reasons? How would he have carried it out? The story McDürchstein tells is almost too terrifying to consider! Almost.
After a long period of negotiation with American publishers who opted for glossy, sugar-coated tales of tragedy, McDürchstein grew frustrated with the corporate obsession with commercial appeal. Searching elsewhere, he found a friend in Japanese publisher Handsome House, a division of Gentosha. Handsome House proudly presents Girth McDürchstein’s debut “novel,” If I Did It…
Loaded with authentic details from McDürchstein’s true experiences, plus evidence uncovered in his brief court case, Girth McDürchstein crafts a semi-true-crime thriller of unparalleled intensity and candor. Look for If I Did It… at your local book retailer today!
Handsome House offers a free 10-page excerpt of If I Did It…. Click here to download it.

Girth here. I just gotta say upfront that the publishers of this book royally fucked up on the cover. We’re not sure how it happened, but they refuse to dishonor themselves by admitting a mistake, so even though the proper title (even inside the book) is If I Did It…, you’ll find it in bookstores as While I Do That…
Also, the publishers explicitly told us to put up a 10-page excerpt to entice you all to buy. But come on—you’re my peeps. I can’t deny you any part of me, so while I encourage you to seek it out in bookstores and buy a copy to support me, I’m supporting you right back by also providing the best part—chapter six, “The Night in Question.” All your questions—answered! Special shout-out to our intern/web guru, Jason Fields, who helped us make the PDF file.
Click here for the expanded excerpt featuring the ENTIRE CHAPTER of “The Night in Question.”
Drop some comments on the MySpace to let us know what you think.

PRESS RELEASE: Girth McDürchstein Arrested!

1142 Wilshire Blvd.

Los Angeles, CA 90017
McDÜRCHSTEIN UNFAIRLY ARRESTED AS LEADER OF “CRIMINAL SYNDICATE”
GRENOBLE, FRANCE, August 7th — Legendary rocker Girth McDürchstein has been arrested as part of a joint effort between Europol and French police officials, Reuters reports. In a largely fictitious press release, authorities in Grenoble suggest a “stormcloud of criminal activity” that “follows McDürchstein all along the tour of Scandinavia with his ‘band,’ whose music should be criminalized.” Also included in that press release is a list of charges McDürchstein faces:
Murder - 1 count
Assault with a deadly weapon - 11 counts
Financing a terrorist organization - 1 count
Attempted murder - 1 count
Accessory after the fact (to car theft ring in Oslo) - 1 count
Consorting with criminals - 1 count
Solicitation - 1 count
Breaking in entering - 1 count
Fraud - 2 counts
Following the Church of Rafelman (illegal in Sweden and Norway) - 2 counts
Loss of identity (illegal in Sweden since 1966) - 1 count
International mail fraud - 5 counts
Indecent exposure - 5 counts
Filing nuisance lawsuit - 1 count
Longtime Abysmal fans understand this is not the first time McDürchstein has been railroaded. Abysmal attorney Harcourt Abimelech Feinstein, Esq., has already filed a motion to drop all charges. It has gone largely ignored, a result of Mr. Feinstein’s not being licensed to practice outside the State of California. McDürchstein is being held in Grenoble. No bail has been set. Other Abysmal Crucifix members have been asked to remain in the country, possibly to be held as material witnesses or arrested for their own false charges.
Speaking through his attorney, Mr. McDürchstein commented, “You gotta get me outta here! I’m begging you! These Frenchies—they like to…do things, and they’ve all heard “Bay-Ooh-Tay-Tay!”
UPDATE: Europol has provided McDürchstein’s mugshots to the press.

PRESS RELEASE: Recently Exonerated Rocker Founds Children’s Charity

RECENTLY EXONERATED ROCKER FOUNDS CHILDREN’S CHARITY
LOS ANGELES, August 27, 2007 — Legendary rock star Girth McDürchstien, hot off a recent tour of Europe and Japan, has put his 2007 earnings toward founding his own charity, Girth McDürchstien’s Sweet Treasures. Based in Studio City, California, the charity will help wayward girls by giving them the practical advice and formal education society has otherwise denied them.
“It’s a really wonderful opportunity to give back after taking so much,” says McDürchstein, whose band Abysmal Crucifix is slated to release its fifth album, Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Return,’ in November.
Girth McDürchstein’s ‘Sweet Treasures’ will open facilities in the recently rebuilt Den Himmel Clinic on Ventura Boulevard, which Christian zealots bombed in 2004. “One of America’s great tragedies is that so many girls with potential are murdered by the confused and morally unjust,” laughs charity co-chairman and Slut-Wrench Magazine founder Margo Atwater (who is also the wife of Girth McDürchstein). “Our goal is to give these girls a second chance—without murder.”
Already, the charity is not without controversy. Hank Wooster, founder and pastor of the Burbank-based Cinged Harlot “mega-church,” has promised to protest this charity’s aims and implied support of anti-Christian doctrine. “The mere fact that these musician-worshipping criminals dare to perpetuate an ideology of hopefulness to the faithless and needy—they’re simply unfit to ‘educate’ young people,” Wooster said in a telephone call to publicist Lacey Greenwood.
In response, McDürchstein says, “He can suck my big fat cock.”
Girth McDürchstein’s Sweet Treasures is slated to open its doors on September 5th. For more information, visit http://www.girthmcdurchstein.com or call the Hopeful Hotline at (310) 976-HELP.

METAL ICON CANCELS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ALBUM
LOS ANGELES, October 29, 2007 — Abysmal Crucifix frontman Girth McDürchstein announced in a press conference Monday that he has canceled the November release of Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Return’, the long-awaited follow-up to 2002’s critically acclaimed double-album Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Hedge’.
Plagued with production and personnel problems from the start, McDürchstein recorded two versions of a metal album before rewriting it in late 2006 as a unique “hip-hopera,” which allowed increased emphasis on the story and lyrics over the music. Like The Hedge before it, Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Return’ told an album-length story as part of a “concept album” (a term McDürchstein coined in 2000 when he began work on The Hedge).
The Return featured a fictionalized version of McDürchstein himself returning to his hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, when he learns of the impending nuptials of his estranged high school sweetheart. From this small story, McDürchstein spun a tale of heroes and villains, warlocks and wizardry, love and pain, culminating in an epic struggle between good and evil and tranny meth-dealing fast-food employees. Would McDürchstein come out on top? The world will never know.
At the same press conference, McDürchstein announced a January release date for a live album culled from the band’s recent Splitcock Tour of Scandinavia and Japan. When asked what the band plans to do after the live album’s release, McDürchstein suggested another tour, perhaps, before returning to the studio for an album of brand new, non-epic material.
“For now, though, I’d like to just concentrate on spending time with my family,” said McDürchstein. “I’ll be staying home with my beautiful wife, Margo, and my even more beautiful daughter, Renal Rojas. It’ll be quite a time, believe me.”
Who wouldn’t?

PRESS RELEASE: First Jupiter Starshine Collective Single – Little Darlin’!!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lacey’s Relations
1142 Wilshire Blvd.
Suite 600
Los Angeles, CA 90017
“LITTLE DARLIN’” POISED TO TAKE POP CHARTS BY STORM
LOS ANGELES, January 18, 2008 — “I love my daughter, and I don’t care who knows it,” says Girth McDürchstein. He’s speaking specifically about Jupiter Starshine Collective’s latest single, “Little Darlin’,” but it could just easily apply to the entire band.
In 1992, McDürchstein founded thrash band Abysmal Crucifix. In 1994, after a disagreement with longtime bandmates Carl Davenport and Robin Kelley, he re-formed the band in Los Angeles with entirely new players—with the exception of McDürchstein himself, who remained lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and principal songwriter—and a modified sound. Abandoning the trademark “epic” songs loaded with instrumental passages, solos, and ever-changing riffs that made McDürchstein a star, the songwriter began to favor a heavy-metal spin on the three-minute pop song, churning out such gems as “Phone Sex” (1995), “Kingdom Cum” (1996), the tender ballad “Two Berries on a Twig” (1996), and politically conscious “Rolling in It” (1998).
It was a change that pleased few. Longtime fans felt McDürchstein had “sold out,” while casual fans or non-fans felt alienated by lyrics described as everything from “insipid” to “unholy portents of our mutually assured cultural destruction.” This did not stop McDürchstein, who in 2002 produced the best of both worlds: Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Hedge’, a concept double-album telling an intricate story and featuring a tantalizing hybrid of lengthy, artistically obtuse rockers and polished pop hooks.
After meeting his estranged daughter in 2007, McDürchstein chose to change the band’s focus—but also its name and identity!
“What does Jupiter Starshine Collective mean to me?” he asked rhetorically, sitting back with a wistful twinkle in his eye, thinking deeply. “Family. Love. Charity.
“Who can be a member of this collective?” he continued. “Is it just me, Margo, Carl, Nicholas, and Michael? No. Anybody who has ever felt love in their hearts for family or friend—or even enemy—they are members of the Collective. I think it’s a privilege to call yourself a member of the Collective, and it’s something you have to earn. And because a participant in Jupiter Starshine Collective does, he or she has the ability to create new and better realities, and improve conditions.”
Jupiter Starshine Collective goes above and beyond the limited scope of Abysmal Crucifix not just in spirit, but also in quality of music. Already, industry insiders consider this hastily produced single the dawn of a new musical day for Girth McDürchstein and has bandmates. Before its official release, “Little Darlin’” has already received consistent radio airplay throughout Southern California and in markets as diverse as Vancouver, Baltimore, and Paducah. It is the #3 most requested song on KMSC out of Sioux City, Iowa, and if these trends continue, it could be McDürchstein’s first charting single in nearly a decade.
Please enjoy “Little Darlin’” yourself by downloading it. Download here.
The lyrics are transcribed below:
Runnin’ through a field of apple blossom leavesINTERESTED IN TICKETS?! That’s right—on Saturday, January 19, we will be handing out a total of 120 tickets for fans to join Jupiter Starshine Collective for a tour of the Paint Shaker and to sit in on a recording session with the band. Find out what it’s like to work in a real recording studio as the group preps their anticipated album, Kinshasa Harpsichord.
On a sunny day, hair blowin’ in the breeze.
Never seen a daughter who looks so fair
Come to Daddy, girl, and let me brush your hair.
Little Darlin’, come and sit upon my knee.
You’re my baby girl, I love you, can’t you see?
Little Darlin’, let me whisper in your ear.
Keep a secret, baby, there’s no need to fear.
Saturdays, we go strollin’ through the park.
We won’t stay too long, I know you hate the dark.
Let’s go to the mall for some clothes shopping.
I’ll watch you try some outfits on if you want me.
Little Darlin’, let me stroke your lovely hair.
Lay your head upon my chest, your skin’s so fair.
Little Darlin’, don’t you cry tonight.
I’ll make sure that everything feels all right.
Come on, Little Darlin’, wait for me.
I’m gettin’ older now and can’t keep up, you see.
My baby girl no longer needs me.
All we ever do is fight and disagree.
Maybe someday she’ll come back to me.
She’ll never find a man who stacks up to me.
Little Darlin’, have you torn your party dress?
No need to cry like that, your face just looks a mess.
Let your daddy make your problems go away.
Shuh, shuh, quiet, girl, there’s nothin’ left to say.
We will allow 20 fans per day, starting Monday, January 21, and going until Friday, January 25. If you’d like tickets, act quickly by joining the Jupiter Starshine Collective Official Mailing List and Happy Fan Club or by visiting us at 777 N. Highland in Hollywood. Limit: One ticket per person!

PRESS RELEASE: Den Himmel Clinic Under Investigation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lacey’s Relations
1142 Wilshire Blvd.
Suite 600
Los Angeles, CA 90017
CHARITY DESTROYED BY HERETICS
LOS ANGELES, January 29, 2008 — In September, Girth McDürchstein established a children’s charity that he believed would benefit the teens of Los Angeles. In these uncertain times, Girth McDürchstein’s Sweet Treasures was formed to spread positive virtues, morality, and awareness like so many communicable diseases; instead, the founders and sponsors of the Den Himmel Clinic forced McDürchstein to preach their own godless gospel.
“My hands were tied,” McDürchstein recalls. “We needed a good location to set up shop, but we had a very small operating budget, and much of it was applied toward building a neon sign.”
Rather than teach the virtues of abstinence, Den Himmel founders Gregory Herrmann and Eloise Jeremiah insisted that McDürchstein praise the power of premarital relations. It’s no surprise that a clinic founded on curing STDs and performing abortions would want to turn teen sex into a positive.
Herrmann refutes McDürchstein’s allegations, made public in a press conference yesterday. “That guys such an [expletive deleted],” he says. “We actually had to insist that he leave the door to the storeroom open, because when he took girls in there and had it closed—I don’t want to say I know exactly what was going on, but we always heard soft moans and the hum of a vibrator.”
“Girls are very emotional and passionate,” McDürchstein responds with a shrug. “And I’m sure that hum was just the water heater.”
Televangelist Hank Wooster praises McDürchstein’s honesty. “He’s shown himself, time and again, to be a good and charitable person, trying to do the right thing in a tough world. I applaud his courage and honesty in the face of Big Free Clinic.”
But Herrmann has the final word. “This is [expletive deleted],” he says, responding to a federal warrant to search the clinic and investigate wrongdoing and unlawful promotion of underage sex.
”[Expletive deleted], indeed,” McDürchstein chuckles.
