about 4 years ago 3 guys(i know one of them and guy was a real idiot) killed a girl and they said they sacrificed her to satan for going to aslium rather than jail...
Then people started to hunt every one in black and some went to jail for being in a criminal organization... i was even taken to station many times...
Metal albums,t-shirts,zines some books(including rpgs how funny) were forbiden to be carried...
newspapers' head line "the most Satanic bands(hammerfall was on the list
)" "Avoid your children listen to metal" "How to understand if your kid is interested in Satanism" "They Sacrifice cats" and man many more foolish things....
2 years later some girls commited suicide(aged 15-17)... And another runaway and found in a cave near antalya with some friends while listening to Sadistic Spell(my ex band)...
The guys are charged for kidnap...
and i had to convice my self not related with them... becouse of the album...
Funny isn't it???
know things calmed down...but We lost many young listeners and most still can't go out while wearing black...
i think you guys are lucky becouse your culture accepted metal...
