SALEM: 'Controversial' Video Posted Online

January 10, 2005

Israeli death metallers SALEM have made their "Ha'ayara Bo'eret" video, taken from their second release "Kaddish" (1994),available for free download from their official web site.

The cover song "Ha'ayara Bo'eret" (The Town is on Fire) was written in 1928 and has since been identified with the holocaust. The Israeli Parliament originally banned the broadcast of the video, claiming a metal cover of such sensitive material was inappropriate. After discussions at the Parliament, the band proved that this song was more than just a gimmick (most bandmembers' grandparents were Holocaust survivors),the ban was removed and the video was broadcasted on national television. This video is also available on SALEM's latest DVD, "Live Demise".
