Suicide preacher Korda returns to the Netherlands after all

Groningen - Musician and suicide preacher Chris Korda from Boston will perform at Amsterdam's Paradiso on Wednesday, November 13, 2002. A press conference is also planned. Korda will also show his infamous video clip, in which he mixed images of the WTC attack of September 11 with hard pornography and sports flashes.

Following an interview in this newspaper, the Lowlands festival cancelled Korda's planned performance in July. Lowlands director Erik van Eerdenbrug called Korda 'a sick pervert'.

Korda calls himself a 'reverend' of the Church of Euthanasia. On the church's website, Korda preaches suicide, abortion, sodomy and cannibalism. The single that Korda wanted to release on 11 September this year, a house number in which he sings about sexual arousal while watching images of the terrorist attack, has been delayed. The Berlin pressing plant refused to press the record. Now they have moved to a pressing plant in England. Korda hopes the single will be released this month.
