BW&BK; has received the following Indianapolis Metal Fest press release:

NEW YORK, N.Y. - "Just days before this high-voltage metal event takes off, one of the sponsors backs out of the deal. Indie label Chavis Records (home to SONIC X and QUIET RIOT), who has offered a hand in sponsoring the event since April, has failed to mandatory fees and has left presenting sponsor Blind Prophecy Records to pick up their bill. Now that Chavis has been knocked off the event, the stage at Birdie's Live will no longer be called the Chavis Records Stage, but will rather take on Blind Prophecy's name instead."
