Metal band Corelia comes out four years after fundraiser, without an album

San Diego prog-metal band Corelia raised over $33,000 from fans via an Indiegogo fundraiser in 2015 to record their debut album, then disappeared a year later. The album still hasn't surfaced. On April 11, the page Corelias posted an update presumed to be from a former member of the act, saying the album was never released due to inter-band fighting. It turned out the page was a product of an Internet troll, but it had however prompted the real Corelia to issue a statement, a first one in 4 years - "Sadly, a member of our band abruptly ceased all communication over a year ago, despite our attempts to continue communicating... We've only ever wanted to complete this album that we spent so much time recording and show the world our art. But, unfortunately, that has been a very rocky road". In yet another twist, the person behind the fake Corelia page identified themselves as Tim Ossenfort, a metal producer from Los Angeles. The instigator added - "This was all for the joke, not my music, but if you wanna check out some legit prog metal by someone who has never stolen 35k from their fans, please go check out my band's newest song!".
