NEW SLAYER ALBUM BANNED IN INDIA BY CHRISTIAN GROUP


By Nyay Bhushan, New Delhi

Mumbai-based EMI Virgin India Ltd said Friday (Oct. 6) it will recall all copies of the new Slayer album "Christ Illusion" following protests by a Christian group, Mumbai-based Catholic Secular Forum (CSF).

Early this week, Joseph Dias, general secretary of CSF, issued a statement taking "strong exception" to the album's cover artwork, which he said depicts "Christ with a missing eye and amputated arms." He added, "we also condemn the track, 'Skeleton Christ' as the lyrics are an insult to Christianity." The CSF also sent a memorandum to Mumbai's police commissioner, adding that the album "will affect the sensibilities of the Muslims on the track 'Jihad' and secular Indians who have respect for all faiths."

Kaveri Khullar, marketing manager, EMI India said in an interview, "We met with the CSF and were apologetic while assuring them that all copies of the album would be pulled out. We have no plans of re-issuing it in any way."

The "Christ Illusion" album had been on the shelves for only a week. Khullar did not confirm the number of units released only stating, "There weren't too many that we launched anyway."

The CSF had earlier protested against the Indian release of "The Da Vinci Code" which led the Censor Board to instruct the India distributor, Mumbai-based Sony Pictures Releasing India, to include a notice to accompany the film to explain that it was a work of fiction.

that doesn't make a lick of sense

the cd kinda sucks anyways

haha they banned it cuz it sucked

GOOD!! The new Slayer is nothing great anyways.Kerry King is a fucking poser who should be shot.He can go and listen to the CRAP bands that Slayer have been touring with since late 90s.Old school Slayer rules,but Kerry cant write for shit anymore.What a trendy asshole!!! And one more thing,does he have enough fucking tatoos???


PRAISE OF DEATH
LIFE'S A DREAM
WE"RE ONLY LIVING TO DIE!!!

I agree the new album isn't groundbreaking, but its Slayer. Slayer gets a pass cause they are fuckin legends and all of the shitty metal that you like wouldn't exist without Slayer. Get on your knees and bow to the metal gods.

I thought that both Kerry and Jeff wrote the whole RIB album.Maybe Jeff wrote all the lyrics.. idk

i think thier songwriting credits were pretty even. kerry king did alot of session work also.

Im just to lazy to look for my RIB CD right now.Thanks man

what pisses me off is that kerry king did a song with sum 41. Kerry king is such a poser. This is possibly why i lost faith in metal

he also did one with the beastie boys, which is the most metal thing one can do

I wonder what trendy band Slayer will tour with next...

wumpscut and suicide commando is waaay better than slayer

Please die.

Kevord said:

no can do, next suggestion

Stop comparing industrial bands to Slayer. Then die.

i'm not comparing them to slayer. And i won't die as long as you still live

You said they were wayyy better than Slayer which is a stupid comparison since they play too different types of music. I'll kill myself as long as you'll go first.

psyche. Actually kreator is better than slayer. Especially pleasure to kill. That album beats reign in blood

sphincter said:

Although Kreator is an amazing band Reign in Blood is the greatest metal album ever plain and simple.

More proof that Christianity is Slayer-phobic and anti-metalist.

80s Kreator rules and I love COS.But 80s Slayer is way more evil and brutal.I prefer Tom over Mille as a singer.Without Tom,Slayer wouldnt exist.Same goes for Kreator.If they didnt have Mille,they would have broken up a long time ago.While we're on the subject of Thrash Metal,what the fuck ever happened to Demoliton Hammer? Their first 2 albums are fucking SICK!!!

bush. christians are an EXTREME minority in india.bush likes ozzy tho.,poser christian,and poser satanist.Ha.

Normal morons tacitly defend Christianity by refusing to condemn

Allah That said:



Enough about religion, please.Metal music is supposed to evil and dark.And I could really care less about what some fucking towelhead thinks about Slayer.The Middle East should have been anihilated back in the early 90s in my opinion.What a fucking waste of time,money and lives fighting those damn sand niggers.I usually dont like talking about politics, but thats a war we're never gonna win.Very similiar to the Vietnam war.

vomitthesoul said:

Now they're all here. Christians, Muslims and Jews. You gonna Holocaust them?

Anti-Racism said:

FUCK YA!!!! Wipe them all out and get rid of this problem thats called overpopulation.The world is gonna end anyways by the year 2012.Why not start killing people now? Go and read your history books and see what Gengis Kan did.He was the most brutal warmonger ever!!!

vomitthesoul said:

And also Turkish if Im not mistaken

Im anxiously awaiting a response from ant-racism.Does he even know who Gengis Khan was? I really doubt it.



LETS HAVE A WAR!!!!!!

blame it on the middle class.

Allah That said:


HA HA!! Blame it on the politicians

give guns to the queers.

It can start in New Jersey!

He was pretty cool. His empire didn't do so well, but the man himself ROCKED.

archaeon said:

realy sucked! minus the first song

vomitthesoul said:

venom

OCR said:


How the hell is Venom trendy? I like half of the songs on Christ Illusion. The rest is lame. Its still far better than GHUA or DIM.

Slayers best is way behind them.

Troll said:



You can say the same for most of the old school bands.Dont matter though,they still rip live and blow away all of the Nuschool bands

Nuschool bands are trends.

what no slayer allowed while we talk to the Indian customer service representatives?
