Gates of Metal festival crew i vanskeligheder

Efter Mayhem's optræden den 5. august til Gates of Metal festivallen i Sverige, ser det ud til at festival crew'et er kommet i vanskeligheder. Det viser sig nemlig at Mayhem, som så mange andre
gange før har optrådt med grisehoveder samt andre dyr lemmer på scenen.

Hanna Werthén (administrative officer at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries) har fortalt den svenske avis Östran/Nyheterna:
"It's illegal to handle animal parts in this manner. You may use animal by-products for educational purposes or in an artistic context, but in that case you need a permit from us first. We have not received an application from the festival promoters in Hultsfred. Therefore we will take action. Exactly what will happen I can't say at the moment, but it may very well lead to prosecution."
