As expected, also the YouTube account of Anton Lundin-Pettersson has been discovered by the mainstream media and as a result another band is being named in various newspapers besides Rammstein: Suicide Commando (including in Belgium where Het Laatste Nieuws added the band in its reports). In the past 3 days the Trollhättan attacker liked 2 videos of the Belgian dark electro act: “Feeding My Inner Hate” album and “Hate Me”. In the aftermath of what happened these songs are somewhat prophetical.

Says Sven Ummland, a local Trollhättan resident and Side-Line reader: “So far none of the newspaper reports are directly linking the bands he listened to to the attacks, as far as inspiration goes, but it’s just a matter of time before political correctness will settle in…” Let’s hope that won’t be the case.

Other bands that might expect to be linked (since in his playlist on YouTube) are In Strict Confidence, God Module, KMFDM, Bauhaus, Acylum, Marilyn Manson, to name just a few.

In the vicious attack yesterday, 2 people were stabbed to death by the masked Anton Lundin-Pettersson: a teacher and a young boy. The incident happened in a 90% migrant school and was clearly inspired by racism. Two other people were injured.

Two people were killed by a masked attacker, said to be 21-year old Anton Lundin-Pettersson, a Trollhättan based Rammstein fan, who entered a school in Trolflhättan armed with what looks like a sword. The incident happened in a 90% migrant school and it’s being considered that the attack was politically inspired. One of the dead victims is an adult male teacher. The second person died while undergoing surgery. Two other people were injured.

Some reports say that he was listening to Rob Zombie’s “Dragula” whilst carrying out the attack. That wouldn’t be surprising because it was also the last video which he posted yesterday at 8:44pm on his Facebook page.

The attacker himself was shot by the police and later succumbed to his wounds at the hospital. Below is a picture taken from the masked attacker earlier that day (actually moments before he would start the attack) in the uniform he wore.

And here’s a screenshot of his Facebook page. It isn’t difficult to understand that the imagery of Rammstein will be used against the band by some in the mainstream media.

The city of Trollhättan is located 75 km north of Sweden’s second-largest city, Gothenburg.

We’ll update this story when more details get out.
