Baaaad boys of rock 'n' roll

Never mind Cradle of Filth and their “Jesus Is A Cunt” t-shirts, if it’s real, honest to Beelzebub offensiveness you’re after look no further than Norwegian death metallers Gorgoroth who’ve been charged with blasphemous obscenity following a particularly boisterous gig in Poland.

Reads the report at www.terror.org.pl/~teppah: “The show featured two naked women with hoods on their head and one naked man, all of them ‘crucified’ and covered in sheep blood, a number of sheep heads on spikes and sheep entrails thrown all over the stage, as well as approximately 80 liters of fresh sheep blood. During the performance, one of the models fainted from the lack of oxygen.
“The TV crew, who had filmed various metal performances before, claimed they’d never seen anything as horrific: ‘We were not repulsed, we were terrified!’”
If that’s not full-on enough for you, a visit to www.smnews.com reveals that Fecal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Mastia Scum, Putrid Pile and Necrotic Disgorgement are just a handful of the bands playing at the upcoming Illinois MetalFest. And they say there’s no family entertainment anymore.
Staying with matters rock and/or roll for a moment, and we’re delighted to see that transgender punks Pepperspray have bagged the support when Cher’s farewell tour trundles into San Francisco. Find out more at www.pepperspraytheband.com
Enjoyed the Sadaam-ified version of Outkast’s ‘Hey Ya!’ that we told you about last week? If so, you’ll go seriously bonkers for the gangsta rap re-working of the Star Wars trilogy which is lurking with serious intent at www.atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/atom_1403
