Death Metal
19-year-old Italian heavy metal singer Cristina Balzano has been arrested for stabbing the guitarist in her band Soul Cry after he fluffed a guitar riff.
Balzano allegedly stabbed the 16-year-old guitarist for playing the wrong notes during a rehearsal session after accusing him of "sounding evil".
Balzano has now been charged by Genovese police for attempted murder.
The incident is not the first altercation to affect the heavy metal scene.
Founder of Norwegian black metal outfit Burzum, Varg Vikernes is currently in jail in for the murder of Øystein Aarseth, guitarist for rival metal band Mayhem. Although his motive was unclear, the murder is though to have been "a power struggle between rival leaders of the Satanic circle".
British rockers Iron Maiden were famously pelted with eggs by Sharon Osbourne and her cohorts during a gig in the US after lead singer Bruce Dickinson "disrespected Ozzy".
Let us now send our good vibes so that the victim gets well soon.
Stay heavy! Support metal, not rumors.
Have a nice day.
1) The previous case mentioned Satanic Circles. Yea metal and rock tend to mention the Devil and Death a lot but they should do some damn research. Satanism come from the word Satan which means betrayer, maybe the same way the devil got it, but as a faith they take it because most of the early ones converted from Christianity. It is seriously unfair that a heavy metal incident should be linked to a faith that the jury obviously know know nothing about. Satanics don't worship the devil, its a faith derived from the very prime occultist rule, freedom of the individual, and each person having the same freedoms and rights. These articles are written by people who know very little about what they are talking about.
Weather he sounded evil or not is immaterial, she should be locked up and the key thrown away.
THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPENS
EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW.
VERY SAD !!!!
Dont Diss what you dont know or experience
is it becouse the way goths dress and the way some emos cut thereself
if your a chav i bet you know someone whos been stabbed....for whatever reasons.
p.s. the lead singer needs a long time in jail.
... & other than being married to one of the most influencial musicians of our time what is Heavy Metal about Sharon Osbourne? Nothing. Although owed a lot of thanks for keeping Ozzy alive!
Eggs at Iron Maiden? Yeah, that's just the same as people being stabbed.
TheScientist - why don't you check out one of the hundreds of "non-evil" Death Metal bands! Aggression doesn't mean evil. House? Aren't you supposed to be zoned on E somewhere loving everybody? No? Well then don't generalise.
