Swedish black metal band MARDUK <\/strong>has announced that they have parted ways with their bassist Joel Lindholm<\/strong> after a video surfaced showing him performing a Nazi salute on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the band’s Facebook post<\/a>, Lindholm’s departure was due to “intolerable stage antics” during Marduk’s performance at Incineration Fest<\/strong>. The band’s former bass player<\/a>, Magnus Andersson<\/strong> (aka Devo<\/strong>), has agreed to step in on a temporary basis to fill the void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video in question shows Marduk performing at Incineration Fest in Camden, UK. Around the 45-minute mark, Lindholm can be seen performing what appears to be a Nazi salute<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the video below and judge for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement the band gave is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Following a variety of intolerable stage antics by a very drunk Joel at Incineration Fest last week, he has vacated his position in the band. Our old friend and bass player Devo has agreed to step in on a temporary basis, so this is unlikely to affect any of upcoming shows.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
