Mayhem Vs Poland

09/06/06
. (SMN) MAYHEM vocalist Attila Csihar has issued the following statement regarding the group's ban from performing in Poland: A fascist-religious government in Europe hides behind its democratic façade! Some time ago, MAYHEM was set to play in Poland. And we were very excited to deliver a great show to our Polish fans! The Polish government didn't warn us of any requirements, rules or guidelines in advance. So, thinking that all the details were taken care of, we set out with all our equipment and our entire stage set. One day before the show however we were informed that the Polish government had banned us from playing the country! And without any official statement or explanation!

When we looked into the situation, we saw that many Polish newspapers claimed that this action was merely based in politics as it was close to the next Polish elections. It seems that politics and religion are very strongly interlocked in the country. Could this be a new form of religious dictatorship and inquisition?
