The Church targeting Christian Black metallers Inchained?

Kentucky Christian Black metallers Inchained may be a target of fundamental Christian groups as they have received multiple "anonymous" emails from groups who are none too pleased with Inchained's music, message and image.

Inchained guitarist and vocalist, Will "Reverend Redsun" Shackleford, says "I have experienced trouble with these so-called Christian fundamentalists in the past. We do live in heart of the Bible-belt. They obviously have something to say but are too pussified to say it to my face, as usual."

One email stated that:
"Inchained's an abomination to the Christian Church and something must be done about it. You must dismantle your group immediately or await the rath(SIC) of god.
....
This music is of Satan and we will not allow our children to be poisoned by this noise"

Another email suggested that Inchained may be a target of some "mysterious" "unnamed" violent fundamentalist Christian group.

The emails are no surprise to the band as they have been extremely critical of the Catholic and Christian church establishments.

Shackelford stated "These ass-clowns have no conception of real Christianity. Most of these people attack first and think second, usually after a trip to the hospital. What really cracks me up is their traditions are based in paganism. The face of Christ that adorns every Bible on earth is actually the face of Zoroaster, an ancient Persian wise man who founded Zoroastrianism. And their likeness of GOD is actually the face of Zeus. So they are mostly misguided sheep. They feel the need to attack us but they continue to harbor child molesters in their so-called holy temples. Let them attack.
