A pig's head was thrown during a concert by the black metal band Martyrdom .
The performance took place last Friday, the 19th, at The White Swan Live in Houston, Texas.
This was not well received and people from the vegan community spoke out, which led the band to write an apology ( via Lambgoat ): “Hi everyone. We just want to start by saying we are very sorry to anyone we offended with our actions and antics on stage. We are a black metal band and, as part of that, we try to add some image and shock value to our set.”
“Unfortunately, our actions became excessive and out of control, offending many and even harming some. We want to apologize to any vegans, Muslims, or other minority groups we may have offended, and to anyone who has been harmed by our actions. Most importantly, we want to apologize to The White Swan and Harry , the sound guy, specifically. Thank you so much, White Swan, for giving us the opportunity to play there.”
