LEGAL DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to any of Suicide Silence’s music, videos or artwork, all rights belong to the band Suicide Silence and respective labels Century Media and Epitaph Records

In my opinion, censoring Heavy Metal Music Videos is so pointless. I understand that the likes of Pop Music and stuff which is aimed toward a younger audience must be censored, whatever little censoring they need.

With a band name like “Suicide Silene” and the song called “Bludgeoned to Death”, and the video itself is pretty outlandish and weird, I don’t think any censoring needs to be done on the lyrics

But c’mon, Heavy Metal subgenres like Death Metal, Deathcore and stuff, isn’t exactly gonna be watched by kids, is it? Most of the music is heavy and the videos themselves are sometiems weird and outlandish. I love Heavy Metal, don’t get me wrong, but some people see it as “evil” or “bad”. Its usually people of a higher understanding and stuff who listen to it and watch the videos, so why the censoring?

And don’t start about this “you don’t know shit about shit” and “you don’t know good music or the meaning behind metal” because I do. I listen to all types of metal, all the old stuff and new, so get fucked, I have an idea of what I’m talking about. I happen to be talking about one band and one song here

And I’m Irish, so sorry if my accent is stupid or if I talk to fast or whatever, I’ll add subtitles afterwards, I’m not bothered at the moment
