are as passionate as we are about this next chapter for Hollywood Undead” Says Charlie Scene “Our
idea of what this band could be has never seemed so possible. Excited to get started.” Ash Avildsen,
founder and CEO of Sumerian Records adds “Hollywood Undead is a band who are unapologetically
themselves. They are authentic, diehard for their art and never back down from taking a chance for what
