that was so bad im fucking crying.
Man, that was hilarious. Good post. Funny part about this whole thing is the more controversy to go around their new release, the more sales they're gonna get. Except in the US, since the pressing plant refuses to press it.
How ridiculous.
Cheers. But really, they're not pressing it? That's fucking ludicrous, considering the amount of far worse artwork and lyrics that have been mass marketed.
Akercocke 'Antichrist' album banned by US Plant
Added Tuesday, May 15
Added By: EvilG
The forthcoming album from Akercocke, abruptly titled Antichrist, has run into more controversy. The provocative nature of the record has already led to problems in Ireland, where the band will take part in a live discussion on the Nolan Live show on BBC1 Northern Ireland next Wednesday at 10.45pm with members of the Irish Catholic clergy.
Now the album has run into problems in the US, where the pressing plant handling the production of the album, Disc USA, has refused to handle the record due its anti-Christian perspective.
Commenting on the decision, Akercocke frontman Jason Mendonca stated:
I rather perturbed that in this day and age, the 21st Century, people are so uptight. Whatever happened to freedom of speech and freedom of expression in the alleged democracy of the USA? Censorship is always ugly no matter how you view it. It smacks of fascism to me.
What other works of art are barred to the good people of America? The attitude of the printers is typical of the brainwashed. Judging something (literally) by its cover. Anyone who took the time to look into our history would recognise that we have always stated we are anything but anti-christian. It's divisive attitudes such as this that bring about conflict. Conflict through ignorance.
Akercockes Antichrist is currently set for May 28 release in UK/Europe, with an American release due on July 17.
