So once again the media strikes against Heavy Music and mislabels HATEBREED as a "white power" band. After finding out that they were listed as one of the “100 to 150 white power bands are in the United States”, the band exploded with anger via their Twitter account after being mislabeled by Lonnie Nasatir, director of the Anti-Defamation League's Upper Midwest Region. The band immediately threatened legal action against CNN.
The first tweet came at about 11:30 AM yesterday stating: “@CNN remove our name from your website or you’ll be hearing from our attorneys. Next time do some actual research.”
Other "white power" bands listed are: Aggravated Assault, Angry Aryans, Attack, Jew Slaughter, White Terror, Final Solution, Force Fed Hate, Fueled by Hate and many others.
The reason for this article stems from the attack on the Sikh temple by Wade Page, who killed six people during his shooting rampage. Page has been associated with two white power bands, End Apathy and Definite Hate.
But we all know that Hatebreed as a whole are not against any race or promote hate speech.
“Our music brings people of all races together all over the world. @CNN @cnnopinion & @chicagoADL need to get their facts straight,” tweeted the band. Many of their fans agreed with this sentiment.
After the band and their fans contacted CNN numerous times and pointed out their big mistake, HATEBREED have been removed from the list.
