VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 25, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After a storm of outrage last week, including negative comments from the Canadian Heritage Minister, Canadian punk band “Living with Lions” is recalling their new album. The album stoked controversy due to its obscene anti-Bible artwork and depiction of Jesus Christ.
The album was produced through Black Box Inc., with a $13,248 grant from the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings (FACTOR), a project funded by the Canadian government.
A recall statement on the Black Box website read: “In light of the recent controversy regarding the artwork for Living With Lions’ album, ‘Holy S**t,’ the band and label have voluntarily agreed to return the loan of $13,248.00 in its entirety, which was offered in support of this record. The product will be withdrawn from the domestic market immediately, and we requested our international partners to withdraw product internationally as well.”
