A rock venue based in Dublin's Jewish Quarter has been forced to cancel a Nazi rock concert. American black metal band 'Grand Belial's Key' has been booked to play in the Portobello area of the city which was the traditional home of Dublin's Jewish community and it is the location of Ireland's Jewish Museum. However following protests from anti-racism campaigners and local residents the owner of the venue said he would not allow the concert to go ahead. Grand Belial's Key were recently banned in Germany because of their crazed anti- Semitic lyrics. The lead singer is known as 'The Black Lourde of Crucifixion' and he is also a member of Nazi heavy metal band Aryan War.
