EAGLES OF DEATH METAL Discuss Paris Terrorist Attack In Forthcoming Video Interview; Preview Available

VICE.com has checked in with the following update along with a short video clip:

“While reporting on last week’s horrific terror attacks in Paris, we realized with shock that the band playing at the Bataclan, the venue where 89 rock fans had their lives taken, was the Eagles Of Death Metal. You never expect the people you know to be caught up in such things, but the Eagles are a band we’ve interviewed many times before and Jesse Hughes, the lead singer, hosted a video series on VICE’s music channel, Noisey.

While Jesse and the band thankfully survived, some of the people closest to them did not. They include the band’s merchandise manager, Nick Alexander, as well as three colleagues from their record label, Thomas Ayad, Marie Mosser, and Manu Perez.

This week VICE founder Shane Smith sat down with Jesse and bandmate Joshua Homme to talk about those they lost, what happened that night, and to try to figure out what it is that they—and we—can do next. The interview will premiere next week on VICE.com.

Our love goes out to all those affected by the recent terrorism and violence in Paris, Beirut, Nigeria, Mali, Syria, Iraq, and far too many other places to mention.”

A brief clip from the forthcoming interview can be viewed below.

A documentary about the Eagles Of Death Metal has been pulled from the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam, reports BBC.com.

Screenings have been cancelled of The Redemption Of The Devil, which follows band frontman Jesse Hughes in the build up to the release of their new album.

Gunmen killed 89 people at the band’s gig at the Bataclan concert hall in last Friday’s Paris attacks. The band escaped, but members of their crew and record company were killed.

The documentary, made by director Alex Hoffman, follows the band’s charismatic, hard-living frontman as he hits 40, becomes ordained as a Catholic minister and ponders a future in politics. The BBC understands it was pulled because the timing felt inappropriate.

Earlier this week the band issued their first statement about the attack and said they were “bonded in grief with the victims, the fans… and all those affected by terrorism”. They said they were “horrified and still trying to come to terms with what happened in France” and all shows were on hold until further notice.
