Hey, remember when bands like Machine Head, Skeletonwitch and Exodus all got banned from playing the House of Blues in Orlando because Disney has deemed them too violent or questionable to be on its grounds? Welcome Warbringer to the club! The band is supposed to play the venue with Meshuggah on Apr. 13, but according to a Facebook post from the group, that isn't happening.
So a special announcement from the folks at Disney Inc,
Warbringer has been banned from the show with Meshuggah on April 13th at the House of Blues Anaheim.
The show will proceed but we won't be on it. Our band name/image/lyrical content are somehow objectionable to proper Disney image and family values. We are not told of specifically why.
We will still appear the following day at the San Diego House of Blues as Disney has nothing to do with that one.
As the person who wrote all our lyrics, I'm not sure how anything I've written is worse than:
-the goose-stepping Nazi hyenas from Scar's song in the lion king
-the racist crows in Dumbo
-Bambi in general ("Mom! Nooo!)Remember everyone, censorship blows. Hope to see you guys' support at the Whisky April 30th.
-Kevill
Let's keep in mind that Dethklok has played the House of Blues, a band based off an incredibly violent cartoon. Oh well! I wonder how long it's going to be until metal touring routes completely avoid the venue?
