Spotify announces plans to remove heavy metal music
If this is correct then it's bye bye Spotify. I will not pay to use a service that has removed my favourite music.
“It’s clear that advertisers are not comfortable maintaining affiliation with companies that provide its customers with music that has a direct link to violence in youth and promotes things such as school shootings”
Thanks Blake, Just seen replies on Facebook saying the site that posted the article, ASSOCIATEDMEDIACOVERAGE.COM is a fake news site.
There's a hell of a lot of non-metal music that I'd be a lot more worried about. Go back 60-odd years and people were panicking about Elvis.
Just another warning not to believe everything that gets on Facebook (not that I go there).
HEAVY METAL IS KILLING THE YOUTH OF TODAY
Observe these heavy metal lyrics, from Dream Theater's The Glass Prison:
"The glass prison which once held me is now gone
A long lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness
Fell down on my knees and prayed
'Thy will be done'
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open"
Now observe the message that they give with these lyrics spelled backwards:
"HAIL SATAN 666
KILL PUPPIES
QUIT SCHOOL
COMMIT YOUR LIFE TO DRUG INTAKE
WATCH PG MOVIES WITHOUT THE EXPLICIT WRITTEN PERMISSION OF BOTH PARENTS OR GUARDIANS"
Hey everyone! Staff here. Don’t worry, Heavy Metal is here to stay. The article that rumoured this is fake and satirical.
