GORGOROTH ”BLACK MASS KRAKOW” (2004)

"Black Mass Krakow" is a live concert that was recorded in 2004 and released on DVD in 2008. It's the band's controversial concert that was filmed in a TV studio in Kraków, Poland. 

The concert featured sheep heads on stakes, "crucified" nude models, Satanic symbols and eighty liters of sheep's blood. The band was criticized for violating Polish anti-blasphemy laws as well as Polish animal rights laws. A police investigation took place with allegations of a religious offense (which is prosecutable under Polish law) and cruelty to animals. Though these charges were considered, the band was not charged as it was ruled that they were unaware of the fact that what they were doing was illegal, although the concert organizer was eventually fined 10,000zł (about 3000 USD) in 2007, as he knew about it and neither informed the band that it was against the law nor intervened. The whole controversy led to the band being dropped from the roster of the Nuclear Blast Tour and the footage of the concert being confiscated by the police, but later released.
