Canadian black metal band trolls the Westboro Baptist Church

by Tyler Munro

Mississauga, Ontario isn’t exactly a hotbed of misanthropic metal, but it did give us Panzerfaust, a black metal band who are quickly becoming cult heroes for their “fuck you” to the endlessly useless Westboro Baptist Church.

While on the road with Abigail Williams they realized where they were in Kansas and quickly detoured to find the controversial church, which aside from housing human garbage and a family of mouth breathing bigots has made a name for itself for its controversial protests at artist and military funerals.

The band was quick to react: They did what any good samaritan would and pissed all over the place.

On Facebook, the band had this to say about it:

The band was driving to Denver when a friend called and told them they were within “pissing proximity” of the church. They acted fast.

 

Thanks to Brave Words for the hat tip.

Country star Brad Paisley took a different approach earlier this when he learned his show would be picketed by the Church’s oxygen deprived supporters, posing for selfies in front of their infamously stupid signs while promising to play loud enough for church protesters to hear.

Westboro Baptist Selfie!! Or west-Burro(ass) selfie. Hopefully they can hear the show out here. We'll play loud. pic.twitter.com/OrMhJjD8NE
