Sepultura concert in Lebanon canceled, band accused of "devil worship"

Brazilian trach-metal band Sepultura have been barred from performing in Beirut next week - officials called the Brazilian metal band "devil worshippers" intent on "insulting Christianity", al Bawaba reports. Apart from that, authorities said the band had previously played in Israel and filmed a video clip showing their support of Israel (their well known music video 'Territory' from 1993), giving grounds for their decision knowing that Lebanese laws put any person who previously had traveled to Israel or have Israeli Visa on his passport in danger of being arrested.
