DOPE / STATIC-X / MISFITS GUITARIST ACEY SLADE RESPONDS AS MEPHISTO ODYSSEY’S MIKAEL JOHNSTON ALLEGES INTERFERENCE IN “CRASH” ANNIVERSARY RELEASE
LOS ANGELES, CA – A public dispute has emerged surrounding the anniversary release of “Crash,” featuring late vocalist Wayne Static, as Acey Slade ( Acey Slade ), known for his work with Dope, the Murderdolls, and Misfits, responds to allegations made by Mikael Johnston of Mephisto Odyssey.
At the center of the controversy are Johnston’s claims that Edsel Dope may have attempted to influence Warner Bros. Records and Rhino Entertainment regarding the release of the project.
Slade addressed the situation with a brief public comment:
“Releasing material at the same time is always a bad idea. You should know that...”
Johnston responded with a detailed statement outlining his account of the project’s development, including early discussions involving members associated with Static-X, later changes in participation, and what he describes as concerns raised during the label process.
Johnston claims the project ultimately faced potential disruption before moving forward after extended production efforts involving archival material and previously unreleased footage of Wayne Static.
The situation has since sparked discussion among fans of Static-X regarding archival releases and the handling of Wayne Static’s musical legacy.
At press time, Edsel Dope and representatives for Static-X have not issued a public response to Johnston’s statements.
