Earlier this month, famously chill person Morrissey took to his website to claim that Capitol Records was purposely sabotaging the release of his upcoming record Bonfire of Teenagers. And now, he's doubling down on that assertion and tossing in some new right-wing talking points for good measure.
In a post on his website titled "Bonfire of Teenagers, RIP," Morrissey wrote, "Capitol Records (Los Angeles) proudly promotes Sam Smith's 'satanism'; yet they consider the honest truth of Morrissey's factual 'Bonfire of Teenagers' to be their biggest threat and they will not release it despite their contractual obligation and promise to do so."
Morrissey is referring to Sam Smith and Kim Petras's "Unholy" performance at this year's Grammys, which featured some Satanism-lite imagery — it should be noted that pop stars looking for a little bad-kid street cred have been invoking sacrilegious and devilish aesthetics since literally forever.
For someone who's been trying to backpedal on the perception that they're a right-wing alarmist, the guy sure loves agreeing with Fox News correspondents and their '80s throwback satanic panic.
Moz's original statement at the beginning of the month claimed that "Morrissey is 'too diverse' for Universal Music Group," if you were wondering how seriously you should take this guy. He'd previously blamed the album's release hold-up on "Cancel Vultures," also claiming that Miley Cyrus's request to be removed from the album has added to Capitol's desire not to release it.
