Malaysian Fatwa Council bans “black metal”
by Jim on Jan.24, 2006, under METAL News
Islamic officials in Malaysia ruled Monday that “black metal” music was unacceptable for Muslims, saying it can cause listeners to rebel against religion.
Black metal is akin to hard rock music, but often uses occult imagery and lyrics. It emerged in Europe in the early 1980s and has made inroads in Southeast Asia in recent years, though its popularity has remained limited to underground rock fans.
Well as long as death metal is still ok…
