Trent Reznor has commented on the reports that the band's music has been used to prepare detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay for interrogation.

"It's difficult for me to imagine anything more profoundly insulting, demeaning and enraging than discovering music you've put your heart and soul into creating has been used for purposes of torture," he said in a statement.

"If there are any legal options that can be realistically taken they will be aggressively pursued, with any potential monetary gains donated to human rights charities.
Thank GOD this country has appeared to side with reason and we can put the Bush administration's reign of power, greed, lawlessness and madness behind us."

According to The Scotsman, a number of bands and artists whose recordings have been used in controversial interrogation techniques by U.S. forces are backing a new campaign to end the practice.

The playlist of songs, designed to traumatize and destabilize prisoners psychologically, includes such acts as AC/DC, AEROSMITH and METALLICA.

The Stop The Music Torture drive is the brainchild of Reprieve, the human rights charity that provides legal representations for inmates at Guantanamo Bay.

The campaign aims to exert pressure from the international community to bring to an end the techniques used by U.S. forces in Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Though I may not condone torture in most cases, I would actually be thrilled if Life at Zero songs were used as such. They were torture to play, that's fo' sho'.

Someone find the mailing address for the Guantanamo Bay torture facilities. I'm sending them a Betrayed By All cd.

someone give trent a bolt thrower album and a bowl of candy, that is if the candy was made in the USA. you wouldn't want him writing an album about how abused the candy makers of the world are.

If Einstuerzende Neubauten = Mayhem/Death
and Foetus = Immortal/Morbid Angel

Nine Inch Nails = Dimmu Borgir/Six Feet Under

aren't you giving them too much credit?



toggletoggle post by Josh_Martin at Dec 16,2008 2:14pm
They are popular and they suck. I thought it was a perfect analogy.

should've used cradle of filth instead.

I honestly can't tell the difference between Dummy Burger and Cradle of Gay.

Dimmu Borgir at least had a few good albums, notably Stormblast and Enthrone Darkness Triumphant.

This may be just me but I thought the new Dimmu Borgir album was pretty good

so did i. i hate that they have become a gayer Dethklok, but the album was good.

there really isn't much of a difference, aside from Dimmu having a good vocalist, and CoF having one of the worst vocalists that ever lived. even Shagrath from Dimmu has lost his vocal appeal, you can tell that he barely sings above a raspy whisper and just cranks the volume. his vocals on Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and Godless Savage Garden were insane. i love the way they sound. he even sounds good on Spiritual Black Dimensions, but it was the beginning of the downfall.

and Six Feet Under, aside from "Haunted" they are atrocious.

I am a huge fan of Dimmu Borgir's drummer! He is just fucking nasty on those drums



toggletoggle post by Yeti at Dec 16,2008 3:24pm
they've always had killer drums. Tjodalv, Barker, Tony Laureano, and then Hellhammer. even Shagrath wasn't bad when he drummed on "For All Tid".

I wish I could drum like all those guys, they are on a whole different level of drumming

i like the PEM album. I also like how Dimmu seem to choose three gnarly words for their albums now.

It's almost as bad as three word band names.
