Irish folk metal act Cruachan and their record label Trollzorn have faced legal action over the group's latest release Blood for the Blood God (2014) from the German death metal act Debauchery, who have claimed the copyright over the term 'Blood God'. Here follows the band's statement on the issue, which was posted to Facebook:
I have never heard of this Debauchery group either but they sound like they need to rename themselves Douchebagery.

When Katy Perry can´t get copyright over the blue shark, how the hell can Debauchery get copyright of the two Words Blood God . Sorry...it´s seriously a pretty ridiculous copyright claim.

Yeah, I'd say that would be an appropriate name switch based on what I've read here.

How the hell can someone even copyright something like Blood God anyway? Those aren't exactly made up words! This is one of the most petty things I've ever heard. I guess this Thomas Gurrath guy was just looking to make a quick buck and damn the trouble he causes for anyone else.

Update, apparently Thomas Gurrath had a change of heart after Cruachan went public with what was happening:
