(Blabbermouth) Alistair Baptista of Gulf Daily News reports that police arrested the guitarist of Bahrain-based extreme metal band The Mushroom Massacre at a rock concert in Bahrain Thursday (April 30), bringing it to an abrupt halt and angering scores of fans.

Organizers halted the "Rage to the Extreme" show at the Palace hotel, Adliya, immediately after the arrest. Sources said the Sri Lankan was apparently arrested because he was wearing a T-shirt bearing a caricature of a "devilish" figure and the slogan "God's Busy...Can I Help You?"

They said the guitarist was taken to a police station where he had his shirt and body piercings photographed. "Someone just came on stage and said the show was over, after that there were two breaks for prayer," said concert-goer Yasir Shehzad. - more on this story
