\nLegendary Norwegian black metal act MAYHEM have explained why they trashed a hotel room in the Netherlands on Sunday night, leading to the arrest of some of the band and crew. Hotel staff reported over \u00a34000 worth of damage including smashed TVs, broken plant pots, damaged walls, mirrors and sinks. Police held some of the black metal touring team until costs had been covered.<\/p>\n
Now Mayhem frontman Attila Csihar has explained the band were furious after being conned by their booking agent then finding the hotel was not up to their standards.<\/p>\n
He says: \u201cI wasn\u2019t involved so I wasn\u2019t arrested. But what happened is that the 18-year-old promoted disappeared with our \u00a32500 advance a couple of days before the first show of the tour.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the problem with the internet \u2013 anyone can act like a booking agent. He continually lied, saying everything was booked. But we found out at the end we had no flights and nothing had been organised except promotion at the local clubs and sales of hundreds of tickets in advance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided to play the tour to be loyal to the fans and promoters, who were freaking out too, of course. So we booked our own flights, local transport and backline the day before the tour started.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we were cool \u2013 but you can imagine the stress we were under. You can imagine it wasn\u2019t the best tour of our lives, but we managed to play good shows and make the best out of it, even though we had to swallow a lot of crap.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the night after the last show the guys got drunk and exploded. It was a really bad hotel \u2013 we didn\u2019t even have toilets in the room. And actually, it wasn\u2019t only Mayhem involved because some of the local crew did it too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree it was stupid, of course. But what could I do? I hope everyone learned a lesson, and it makes a bit more sense.\u201d Legendary Norwegian black metal act MAYHEM have explained why they trashed a hotel room in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11117\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
