Currently unfolding is the story of Paris’ lockdown. With various attacks occurring throughout the capital of France the most significant was that Bataclan. 

Performing tonight at The Bataclan, the Eagles Of Death Metal were at the venue when there were heard shouts of Allahu Akhbar as there was an explosion. Currently there are fifteen people counted as dead, with the police having just stormed the venue it appears that the casualties may well be a lot more. 

From the band we can say that they are accounted for and trying to account for all crew members, scheduled to perform a day afterward Deftones who are also currently in Paris are safe. 

Regardless of whether this news is tailored to Metal audience, we hope that everyone is safe in this truly terrifying time tonight. Paris we all pray for you and will give anything you need. Our sincerest condolences go out to everyone affected tonight.
