During Friday night's performance at White Swan Live, witnesses and patrons took to social media to share their shock and disbelief as the severed pig head made its way through the crowd.

The subsequent apology, aimed at addressing potential offenses to vegans and Muslims in the audience, has ignited a firestorm of criticism.

Fans, rather than applauding the band for acknowledging the potentially offensive nature of the act, are lambasting Martyrdom for what they perceive as a lack of resilience expected from a black metal band.

The comments section of the band's post is now flooded with dissenting opinions, accusing Martyrdom of compromising the intensity and dark aesthetic synonymous with the black metal genre.

Metalheads on X social platform have rallied to express their disappointment and frustration, intensifying the backlash.
