In a move so tone-deaf it could be heard in Morse code, Italian metal band Sadist has announced two upcoming shows in St. Petersburg and Moscow this November — instantly torching what little credibility they had left outside of Putin’s propaganda playlist.
Led by the perpetually confused Trevor Nadir — who once described Sadist as “apolitical,” yet somehow thought playing in a war-criminal state was neutral — the band has fully embraced their new role as background noise for genocide denial.

Social media backlash was immediate and nuclear. Fans (or former fans) flooded Sadist’s pages with outrage, only to watch their comments vanish faster than Trevor’s moral compass. “We were just trying to reach new audiences,” the band stammered, apparently referring to the FSB.
Meanwhile, music promoters across Europe have begun quietly scratching Sadist off festival lineups like a bad rash, with one anonymous organizer calling the band’s decision “career suicide with a double encore.”
Let’s be clear:
This isn’t “just a gig.” This is artistic complicity.
If you play for a regime bombing cities, you don’t get to say you’re “just about the music.”
Sadist isn’t being cancelled. They’re cancelling themselves.
Good riddance.
