The city of Fullerton, California has demanded that the SLAYER artwork be removed immediately from the 17 SLAYER bus benches scattered throughout the city. The bus benches, which “went up” over this past weekend, are promoting SLAYER‘s new album, “Christ Illusion“.
This past Monday (July 31), the city officials called the company that the band’s record label (American) hired to put the ads in place, demanding that they remove the SLAYER ad/artwork, reportedly because they did not like the name of the band, which they feel refers to a murderer. They are also apparently offended by the antichrist and skull logo on the bench artwork.
As previously reported, SLAYER will film a war-themed video for the song “Eyes of the Insane” with director Tony Petrossian (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR).
No further details are available at this time.
