Magdalene Rose, a Christian metal singer, has been facing boycotts from churches over her heavy music and looks. The attacks on her have resulted in shows getting cancelled amid her tour with fellow Christian artists Seventh Day Slumber, Jason Dunn (Hawk Nelson), and Nate Parrish (Kutless).
Rose said the following:
“I don’t make many posts like this because I try my best to focus on the good things that are happening in my life, but it’s gotten to the point where I need to say something. When Blaise and I got on the bus last night after flying home from our anniversary trip, we found out that several churches have called and either asked for me to not to be on their shows, or they’ve completely canceled the show strictly based on the way I look and the music I play. The show on May 17th in Granbury, TX has canceled the entire show, and I can only hope the Y2K Reloaded Tour doesn’t get canceled because of me.”
She later added:
“I thought we were passed this guys but recently it feels like there’s been more calls coming in from promoters because their churches want me off the shows, or they just completely cancel the shows because of the way I dress or the way my music sounds. Not one has offered to speak with me or tried to understand why I create music the way I do.
Sorry for the long post, but someone has to say something. For the churches that are willing to try something that they may not be used to, thank you for taking a chance on us and for doing whatever it takes to show people that God has not forgotten them.”
Seventh Day Slumber also commented:
“This breaks our hearts. Not only is Magdalene Rose someone Lori and I have known since she was a little girl, but she is also our daughter-in-law. I’ve dealt with this for many years, but it’s different when it’s your kids.”
