- In 1995 [[Shihad]] and HLAH were unfortunately booked to play a Polish Death Metal Festival. A small minority of the 10,000 crowd loved HLAH while the majority roared their disapproval as Booga gave the crowd an absolute bollocking (in English, of course). Shihad played to a totally silent crowd - no clapping or booing. The bands then made a beeline for the exit and a beeline for the border. Manager [[Gerald Dwyer]] described the other bands as "brutal, extreme, totally nasty death and black metal bands."
