LAMB OF GOD Responds to Malaysia Concert Ban

Posted in All Metal, News, Shows with tags on September 13, 2013 by Randy

As widely reported, LAMB OF GOD’s concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia scheduled for September 28th has been cancelled by the government, who refused to issue a permit for the show even though the concert had been on sale and had sold over 1,500 tickets.

LAMB OF GOD’s guitarist Mark Morton has issued the following statement regarding the decision by the Malaysian government. Shows scheduled in New Zealand, Australia, and Thailand will still be performed by the group:

“It is very evident (and a bit frustrating) that the groups, parties and powers that have taken the most offense to our music and lyrics, have themselves only made a passing glance at the content and meanings of those songs. We would invite anyone offended by our music to engage in a discussion regarding the true motivations behind our work, especially before publicly slandering us based on assumptions and shallow misinterpretation.

We sincerely apologize to our amazing fans in Malaysia for the cancellation. Many thanks to all who have spoken out in support of us through this.”

Phoenix Arizona rockers EYES SET TO KILL have just released their new music video for the first single “Infected” from the forthcoming album MASKS.  The song is a battering guitar driven groove that gives way to a soaring refrain from front woman Alexia Rodriguez. It’s an unforgettable and unshakable introduction to the next phase of EYES SET TO KILL. The video captures the story and emotion of the song perfectly. Our friends at Revolver Magazine have the exclusive premiere.
