"Metal musicians are tired of metal being associated with racism. That can't happen and we're fucking tired of it. Us, the metal community, we're going to show you that we don't stand for that shit. Fuck racism!" exclaims Necrot's Luca Indrio in what looks to be a new video series called Metal vs. Racism.
High on Fire's Matt Pike, Cavalera Conspiracy's Igorr Cavalera, Gatecreeper's Eric Wagner and more are also featured in the video, flipping the bird to racism.
Welcome to Metal vs Racism! Metal musicians want to raise awareness towards the problem of racism in the metal world. Today more than ever is important to take a clear position and help the black and brown community being heard and feel safe.
