Terror Charts - Boycott Metallica!

Music is probably the most powerful weapon in the world: To enforce human rights but also to exercise torture. As the campaign "zero decibel" reports, a wide branch of music is used in the so called "war on terror." Prisoners are exposed to constantly repeated music - 24 h a day at high volume. Though this treatment doesn't cause visible marks, it has a devastating effect on the psyche. Some of the victims are traumatised until the end of their life.On the website of "zero decibel" a list of artist abused for torture is displayed. An article in the German newspaper taz summarised this "chart" like this:

AC/DC, "Hells Bells"

­ AC/DC, "Shoot to Thrill"

­ Bee Gees, "Stayin Alive"

­ Springsteen, "Born in the USA"

­ Christina Aguilera, "Dirrty"

­ David Gray, "Babylon"

­ Deicide, "Fuck Your God"

­ Don McLean, "American Pie"

­ Dope, "Take Your Best Shot"

­ Eminem, "Kim"

­ Eminem, "Slim Shady"

­ Eminem, "White America"

­ Matchbox Twenty, "Gold"

­ Metallica, "Enter Sandman"

­ Neil Diamond, "America"

­ NIN, "March of the Pigs"

­ NIN, "Mr. Self-Destruct"

­ Prince, "Raspberry Beret"

­ Sesamstraße, "Titelmelodie"

­ Queen, "We are the Champions"

Zero decibel is a attempt of artist to object against the abuse of their music. Though I don't think that "Hazelnut Tree" or "Dear Moonshine" was used in any interrogation, I joined the campaign, as I think, using music to torture people is the most pervers abuse of music ever and it reveals the double standards of the US in the "war on terror." In the case of a questioning using torture, you can ask, who terrorises who? So Who's the terrorist? The torturer or the tortured one?As the article discovers, Metallica didn't joined the campaign, though their song "Enter Sandman" stands on the list. They are proud to contribute to the "war on terror." So they are proud that their song is used to torture people. Boycott this fucking band.
