The upcoming release of UK death metal giants Akercockes latest album Antichrist has caused uproar amongst Northern Irelands religious community, and is set to be the subject of a major religious debate live on BBC1 Northern Ireland.
The overtly satanic content contained within Antichrist has come under attack by religious forces, leading to the band's vocalist Jason Mendonca facing a head- to-head live TV debate that will air on BBC1s Nolan Live show. The debate will be broadcast live via satellite link at 10.45pm on BBC Northern Ireland following Akercockes gig on May 16th at Nottinghams Rock City. This meeting of minds is sure to stir waves of controversy ahead of their show in Belfast on May 18th and Dublin on May 19th, and with the Antichrist misson statement in full force, Akercocke are sure to voice their closely held satanic beliefs.
To find out more about Antichrist and to listen exclusively to the track Summon The Antichrist that has ignited this controversy, head over to the band's MySpace page.
Antichrist will be released in the UK on Earache Records on Monday May 28th (UK) and on July 17th in the USA.
