UK metal band Dearly Beheaded released a demo in 1993 called We The Unwilling. The band won a MTV contest for the best unsigned metal band and consequently got signed to major label East West. The major then proceeded to drop the band before even releasing an album - hello Carcass! - because of the cover art which depicted a severed head. What did they expect? The band landed in the arms of Music For Nations instead.
City of God also featured members of Blaze and Xentrix.
