Rock and metal community reacts to Orlando shooting

Over the weekend, the worst mass shooting in modern US history took place in Orlando, FL when a gunman killed 49 people at a night club. This act of terror brings back the terrifying incident that took place in Paris this past November, when terrorists stormed Le Bataclan during an Eagles of Death Metal show. Given such a momentous occasion and sad event that this was, of course, this has created a wave of reactions among artists in the rock and metal community.

Can’t even fathom what the people of Orlando are going through right now. No more posts today. Going to see what I can do to help.
