Australia's Metal Obsession has issued the following report:
In a currently developing story, a Sydney based religious group on Facebook has seemingly successfully protested against the running of a black metal mini-festival at Sydney venue Newtown RSL. It is understood that the venue as pulled out from the event, and the promoter, Séance Records, has currently postponed the event until another date/venue can be found.
The protesting Facebook group has the following statement as their description, on a profile that has limited public content available to non-members:
“This coming Saturday, November 27th, a satanic “Black Mass” celebration is to occur at Newtown RSL – it is simply disgraceful. The advertising which features the insignia of the Church of Satan and an inverted crucifix is encouraging people to come and partake in an “unholy spell to be cast upon the city of Sydney” featuring the “ultimate of soul possessing occult revelations…unbridled blasphemy… [and] a union of all things unholy”.
