MySpace Safety & Security sent the following message on September 4th to Cleveland thrash metal band DESTRUCTOR regarding a DORO PESCH concert flyer that was posted on their MySpace page:

"We had to remove an image (or images) from your account because they violated our Terms of Use. Our site is for people as young as 13, so we can't have certain kinds of pics (nude/sexually explicit, violence). Find out more about content we don’t allow here . If you continue to violate our Terms, we may be forced to remove your account. If you find an image which you feel is in violation of our Terms, please feel free to use the 'report image' link below the image. Thanks for your understanding."

The flyer in question was designed by Orlando, Florida artist Alex Yarborough (www.alexyarborough.com), who has done past flyer and album cover designs for METAL CHURCH, ROB ROCK, CAIN'S OFFERING, DISASTERPEACE, BREAKER, WRETCH and CAGE to name a few. It incorporates artist Geoffrey Gillespie's (Doro, Warlock, Eternal Flight, ELP) original Doro Fear No Evil cover design. The art is being used to promote Doro's headlining appearance and local support in each city of her North American tour. Destructor will be opening for Doro on September 10 in Cleveland, Ohio at Peabody's. The band will be joining Doro on stage for a special rendition of 'All We Are'.

Destructor guitarist Dave Overkill and Doro Pesch were recently interviewed together live on WJCU's Metal On Metal radio show on Friday, September 4. Doro was in Philadelphia for the first night of her tour. MySpace went into Destructor's site shortly after the interview aired and removed the flyer.

"Of all the provocative and suggestive pictures you see on MySpace and the internet in this day and age, it's hard to believe a Doro album cover would cause this much controversy", says Destructor vocalist/guitarist Dave Overkill. "We were shocked to receive the message."

Overkill goes on to add: "Doro is one of the nicest and sweetest people anyone can meet in this business. She has dedicated her entire life to her music and fans. We have performed with her several times at summer festivals in Germany and club shows here in the States over the years and have a lot of respect for her both as an artist and person. How anyone can possibly find anything Doro related even the less bit offensive is beyond me. I think this censorship action may be an inspiration for a new Destructor song!".

Destructor plan on posting an edited version of the flyer back up on their site soon.
