It seems the world just won’t leave Kurt Cobain to rest in peace, with an apparent “unreleased Nirvana song” surfacing online last week which has left Nirvana band members and Courtney Love steaming.

The song entitled ‘Flacid Bone’ appeared on YouTube, the anonymous person posting the track claiming they’d hacked Courtney Love’s computer, the YouTube user Nirvana Ananyma writing the following: “I hacked this off Courtney. I would like to remain anonymous. She said this came from the early 90’s recording sessions. Supposedly Kurt hated it, and canned it. I mean no disrespect to Kurt, but this is coming out eventually. He hated several of his songs anyway!” as TMZ writes.

TMZ alleges that Courtney Love is furious about this and has flatly denied that the track is Nirvana’s and that she was never hacked. As she is a part owner of Cobain’s music rights, she alongside her lawyers are working to track down the impostor and have the song removed from the internet.

‘Flacid Bone’ is still online at the moment, we’ve given it a couple of spins and are siding with Love, the track sounds like one of the copious post-Nirvana grunge outfits ripping-off the band’s sound, many commenters on the vid believing it’s far more remiscent of a Seether output rather than Kurt & Co.

In other more important Cobain news, late last year it was announced that Frances Bean Cobain was to be executive co-producer on the forthcoming official HBO documentary of her late and great father, Montage Of Heck, and to get fans even more amped for its public air date, May 4, the director has leaked some pretty exciting facts of the film.

Brett Morgan, the leading man in charge of the highly anticipated documentary had already detailed that there would be never heard before Nirvana tunes premiered in the film, one of which we know is a Beatles cover, as well as 12-minute unheard Cobain epic, as Loudwire (via Stereogum) point out.

Taking to his Twitter account, Morgan posted the (rather questionable choice of words) of the previously unreleased material:

We’re still unsure whether the track will appear on any form of official soundtrack that will accompany the documentary, or whether it will remain just on the film.
