To put it
straight ahead we like the new Life of Agony , and we like well
designed skull graphics . But in this case LOA really missed
it :
Scene
from the
Video "Love to let you down" ( by Epic Records )
In
the Life of Agony video "Love to let you down" in
the very last scene, is a young man from behind (Keith Caputo
itself? ) and on its T-Shirt a dead head . Unfortunately this
is not any dead head, but unambiguously the sign of the "SS-Totenkopf
Verband" ( http://www.adl.org/hate_symbols/neo-nazi_skull.asp)
an elite unit of the Nazis that among other things had to guard
the concentration camps . We certainly do not believe you did
this on purpose , we do not believe there is a secret message
therewith or a planned scandal promo for germany! And nevertheless
this symbol has not to be used in a LOA video. In germany, carrying
the SS-Totenschädel in the public, is set under punishment
( like the Swastika / Crooked Cross ) ! Sony Germany reacted
immediately, but couldnt access on the Webspace of LOA. Unfortuneately
the first Mail to Epic / Sony international ( ! Month ago !!!
) didnt get answered.
We
from Coreclub want you to remove this part of the Video !! And
please make a statement on this so people know what this is
about. You have a lot of Fans in Germany dont let them think
its okay to were this sign !!
Thanx in advance
