"Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth staged a special concert that made Janet Jackson's breast-baring look like nursery school antics and left Catholic Poland outraged. A police investigation has begun after a show that included dozens of sheep heads on stakes, a literal blood bath and a naked, crucified woman, newspaper VG reports.
Black metal band Gorgoroth, made up of members King, Kvitrafn, Gaahl and Infernus, gave Polish TV far more than they bargained for.
Gorgoroth's concert in Krakow was recorded by state TV station TVP and the resulting scandal was at the center of attention of Polish media. The band is now being investigated for causing religious offence, which can be punished by 2 years in prison. The police is also considering of cruelty to animals.
"On stage there was blood everywhere. About 10 decapitated sheep heads and naked people, alive, on large crosses. Everyone was painted with 100 liters of sheep blood. Also there were satanist symbols everywhere. One of the hanging female models fainted and ambulance had to be called" - TVP director Andrjei Jeziorek told VG. Jeziorek said that the TV staff were terrified and reported the show to police.
"That kind of thing should not happen on state TV and especially not in Krakow, which is Pope's city," - Jeziorek said. Jeziorek wanted to halt the concert but feared a riot from enthusiastic, bloodied fans who paid for tickets. The band were recording a concert DVDand had promised fans a very special show and had rigged the stage behind the curtains to keep the content secret.
Recent troubles with Satanist groups and sects have made the issue especially sensitive in Poland."
P.S. Почему в России на государственном телевидении не транслируют концерты не то что блэк-, но и вообще какую бы то ни было тяжелую музыку, предпочитая вместо них показывать второсортную попсу?
