Talking here about the violence in generally, and violence on stage, caused by a band or a band member, which occasionally and unfortunately also hits our Metal World….
We, at Metal Shock Finland, want to state that we highly detest these kind of isolated actions. It definitely is NOT the way Metal Family and its ideology is meant to be. And in saying this, we want to post yet another sad video about a futile violent incident on stage, completely without sense and reason… of how Dani Filth punched the face of a Russian fan on their recent tour in Russia. An absolute no-go!
WHITE EMPRESS, the new band founded by former Cradle Of Filth guitarist Paul Allender, have signed an exclusive booking deal with Agentur EAM Event And Artist Management.
Comments Frank Vedder, Owner of EAM:
It is a great honor for our company to get a band like White Empress with the fantastic voice from Mary Zimmer – Musician/Vocalist in our Roster.
Comments Paul Allender:
