(antiMusic) While Disney shrugged off nude photos of a young female star from their teenybopper hit "High School Musical" they have gone into full censorship mode when it comes to heavy metal and hard rock concert on Disney properties. How this effects their metalcore darlings Atreyu we don't know but for other heavy bands, you are no longer welcome at venues on Disney lots. The Mickey Mouse execs have launched a war against metal, causing the cancellations of various metal shows at the House of Blues venues at their Disneyland and Disneyworld properties. According to the LA times, five metal concerts have either been moved off those properties or cancelled outright by Live Nation who run the House of Blues venues. Of course, that corporation offered up a lame excuse. John Vlautin, vice president of communications for Live Nation said in a statement last week "House of Blues offers a range of entertainment to match the audience at our venues. It was determined that the mix of entertainment at our two Disney locations should be different from our other venues."
Nevertheless, we here at antiMusic will do our part and we will no longer carry any articles related to anything Disney including Hollywood Records until they stop their censorship. We encourage you to join us in this boycott and refrain from all things Disney. Shouldn't be too hard.
Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Throwdown, Sanctity, Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Red Chord And The Absence, Obituary, Alabama Thunderpussy, Full Blown Chaos And Hemlock have all suffered under the new Disney fascism. Which in the long run might be good for them since the Anaheim House of Blues is probably the worst venue in the nation to go to if you actually want to "see" a show since it looks like they hired Goofy to draw up the blueprints (yes, it really is that bad).
