I shit you not. Via Sky News:

A performance by “grindcore” band Napalm Death has been cancelled by the V&A [the Victoria & Albert Museum, London] after fears the deafening noise could cause the historic museum to crumble.

The metal-punk act had been due to play a one-off show on Friday after teaming up with a ceramic artist who created a sound system which was designed to disintegrate during the gig.

But the London museum called off the free event, called Bustleholm, after a safety check highlighted a risk that the gallery itself could deteriorate.

WOW! Napalm Death playing through a disintegrating soundsystem in a potentially collapsing museum?! Dethklok eat your heart out!

Just one word for you, though, V&A Museum: BOOOO!

Here’s a taste of what this concert could have sounded like, minus the imploding PA and collapsing historical buildings.
