Myspace Pulls Dark Funeral Video

2009-10-07 by K. Prince | 48 Comments
Social networking website Myspace has taken Dark Funeral's latest video off of their website.

From the band's Myspace blog: "so, it took about 3 days, and from what I have been told, 30.000 views, for MySpace to pull our new majestic video for “My Funeral”. That’s fucking lame to say the least! Even though I respect My Space and their rules, I’m totally against censorship. The way I see it, and as long as it’s not illegal (and there sure wasn’t anything illegal in the video), if you find something on the internet you don’t like, just don’t fucking watch it! How hard can it be? Let everyone else who enjoy it do so without your interfering. Either way, whoever flagged it should know that you just did us a great, great favor, thank you! Now people will hunt the uncensored version and I’m absolutely sure that you’re pathetic action will increase the plays with thousands and thousands of views. So once again, thank you, but fuck you!"

Dark Funeral will release Angelus Exuro pro Eternus on November 18th.

Free press for the vid, I guess. Fuck censorship, and the 20 seconds of disclaimer on the video on youtube

freedom of expression has its limits so i guess that video needs to be taken off. W/e.

I thought the video and the song were actually pretty good, but the albums that I have by this band aren't. Maybe this album won't be so bad.

"freedom of expression has its limits so i guess that video needs to be taken off. W/e.?" I cant even respond to that in a mature and responsible way. Rammstein FTW.

Also, there's a difference between violating the presumed terms of service (which Dark Funeral is probably too stupid to read) and violating their freedom of expression.

They were allowed to make the video and at the very least publish it in some capacity. It's not MySpace's problem that they refuse to host it. They're a private company. It's their website. They aren't required to host anything. Deleting it isn't censorship, and, given the fact that this band is terrible, it's probably the right decision.

That makes sense. Pretty funny actually that a long standing "evil" black metal band is banging heads with myspace.

hey now....porn. porn.

and as for my earlier comment, you can't respond because you know that there are some forms of expression that should not be
allowed. buncha fuckin whiny liberals. fairly certain taking a video off doesn't put your constitutional rights in jeopardy. yay.

^ Now, I know you're an idiot because you brought political parties into this when it wasn't even a political matter. Aren't republicans the ones that gripe about their constitutional rights being trampled all the time, though?

Behemoth's vid got taken down from youtube like 10 minutes after it was released, so this isn't that big of a surprise. It's myspace's website so they can do what ever the hell they want... Dark Funeral just need to host the vid on their own site if they want people to view it X_x

"I wish Thomas Jefferson and Christopher Hitchens could accompany me to MySpace headquarters and tear a new asshole in every person that supports bullshit like this."

SO THIS. Nicely phrased.

As for this nonsense:
"and as for my earlier comment, you can't respond because you know that there are some forms of expression that should not be allowed."

Please tell me what forms of expression you don't think you are mature enough to handle, and require MySpace to decide FOR YOU what you can and cannot watch. Censorship is always bullshit, pure and simple no matter what (even if it's a shitty black metal band's video on Myspace).

lmao. The same people who are bemoaning censorship about some crappy band getting their crappier video pulled would also be the loudest to cry if they were being slandered or libeled. To truly appreciate freedom of speech, it's also important to consider WHY particular forms of speech are limited, not crying vaguely that they simply ARE limited.

Making music videos and having a Myspace account in general is so KVLT.

That being said, Okarina of Time IS the greatest video game of all-time. Honorable mentions would definitely be Pokemon Blue/Red, 007 Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and, if I may be so bold as to mention a modern game, Fallout 3 (which just absolutely rapes face).
