CCM questions why black metal group allowed to perform on Easter


PETALING JAYA: The Council of Churches of Malaysia (CCM) wants to know why the authorities have allowed Singapore-based black metal group Devouror to perform in Malaysia on Easter Sunday (April 21).

Its general secretary Rev Dr Hermen Shastri said the band, which was formed in 2018, prided itself in carrying lyrical themes that were allegedly anti-Christian and pro-satanic.
