'In a statement on their website, the Classic Grand said they were parting ways with the Darkness Guides Us event, and that they would "never give a platform to any kind of hatred."

In today's The National we revealed that at least four of the bands playing at the festival were involved with the Neo-Nazi metal scene.

One of the group booked even has a song called “Gas Chamber” and lyrics which include the phrase “Sieg Heil!” and refers to “torching the Jewish creation”. [...]

It's not clear what will happen to the festival. They had already booked a separate venue for headliners Taake and Satanic Warmaster, both of whom have had events cancelled in the past because of their brushes with fascism.

Satanic Warmaster have been in conflict with anti-fascists in Glasgow before, because of their links to National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM). [...]

Last year the Ukrainian band Kroda were booked to play. The group are holocaust deniers with links to a Russian outfit called M8l8th. The 88 is Neo-Nazi shorthand for “Heil Hitler”. [...]

Responding to the initial criticism, the event organiser Dimitris Artofsin told The National: “I don’t know if you are aware, but I’m not a white power supporter, hell I’m not even white myself. [...]

He added: “The publicity has certainly helped me, it’s like free advertising."'
