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.

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

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.

kerry was never even the main songwriter, that jeffs job. considering he is the superior player in that band.
kerry just stands there and looks tuff and acts like hes the worlds biggest jackass.

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

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
[Oct 9,2006 2:54pm - archaeon ""]
he also did one with the beastie boys, which is the most metal thing one can do
[Oct 9,2006 3:21pm - vomitthesoul ""]
I wonder what trendy band Slayer will tour with next...

Stop comparing industrial bands to Slayer. Then die.
[Oct 9,2006 4:52pm - sphincter ""]
i'm not comparing them to slayer. And i won't die as long as you still live
[Oct 9,2006 4:56pm - Kevord ""]
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

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.
[Oct 9,2006 5:45pm - vomitthesoul ""]
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!!!

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.

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.
