IMDA cancels Watain concert in Singapore due to death metal band’s ‘Satanist views’
Swedish metal band Watain, known for its Satanist references in its music, has had its concert in Singapore cancelled due to “security concerns” raised by the Ministry of Home Affairs .
An IMDA spokesperson noted that MHA had expressed “serious concerns” about the concert, given the band’s history of “denigrating religions and promoting violence, which has potential to cause enmity and disrupt Singapore’s social harmony”. “MHA has therefore asked IMDA to consider cancelling the concert for reasons of public order, and IMDA has agreed.”
