The North Texas metal giants are facing backlash over years-old allegations of racist antics.
Nearing a century after the start of World War II, Germany is still working to atone for its past embrace of Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler and his vile campaign to exterminate Jews. So perhaps it’s no surprise that two major music festivals there have chosen to distance themselves from a certain North Texas metal band infamous for its offensive, antisemitic antics.
Metal lovers may remember that back in 2016, frontman Phil Anselmo bellowed “WHIIITE POWERRR” after performing a Nazi “Sieg Heil” salute onstage. Afterward, he attempted to blame the racist gesture on having imbibed too much white wine and claimed that he’d meant it as a joke, according to. But vocalist-guitarist Robb Flynn of Machine Head later poked holes in that excuse, alleging that there wasn’t any such beverage backstage.
