ebay to ban sale of black metal artists
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/bla...wsitemID=58406
whilst i'm not a fan of this 'music' where will the censorship end? ban all cd sales because the lyrical content could be offensive to someone? Or are they just doing it because it makes them so little money compared to the rest of the things on sale on the site? |

I agree that they might come under the Hateful or Discriminatory policy considering the suggestive content in the lyrics, racism and violent images conjured, but, surely gangster rap basically comes under exactly the same policy?

That is utterly ridiculous. I like metal, but not black metal; however, to ban it is preposterous. I suppose once again these bands are being blamed for influencing impressionable youth... it was Marilyn Manson five minutes before that, and Elvis at one point!

I really do think there will be a UK law against this before too long. And if you so much as think about penning a lyric which could be considered Christian (only Christian, other religions are ok), you will be shot on the spot. 21st century Britain, innit lovely. Not that I like Black Metal or Christian Worship Songs though. |

i guess some of these such as ZYKLON B could be white power/anti-jew etc so its fair enough that ebay are banning them

Black metal is very heavy metal, such as Dimmu Borgir and Burzum... it does tend to be mostly from Scandinavia. There's been loads of scandals in Norway with church burning, band members committing murder etc.
Personally I find the genre ridiculous, but I suppose there will always be loonies who take such things seriously! |
