Banned |
Blabbermouth reports: Polish death metal veterans
VADER have posted the following message on their official web site:
"VADER is on the list of 228 metal bands
banned in Islamic Malaysia. The National Fatwa Council issued the religious
decree against the 'black metal cult,' citing practices in which members
stamp on the holy Koran, drink alcohol and freely engage in sex. Council
chair Shukor Husin said the cult's practices, based on U.S. rock band METALLICA
which has used symbols including an inverted cross, went against the teachings
of Islam and could propel a Muslim out of the religion. However he said,
merely listening to heavy metal songs was not a crime."[see full story
