Lorraine confused with the Islamic state, a rock band changes … – France Soir

The Islamic State group has a new victim. Less serious than the previous ones, certainly: a rock band of Lorraine, the “Isis Child”, had to change its name because it was likened to that of the terrorist group on the Internet

The leader. Group, Freddy Mazzucco, songwriter, filed SACEM (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers), there 15 years, the name “Isis Child”, the child of Isis, in tribute . the Egyptian goddess

In fifteen years, the group installed in Lorraine and mainly composed of Freddy Mazzucco and his singer Nathalie Pelissier, had a certain reputation, mainly abroad: England, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Norway. Including their clips were taken on the Internet.

But in recent months they have virtually disappeared from search engines. The explanation is that typing “Isis” on the Web, essentially falls on articles and videos related with the Islamic state. This effect is termed “Islamic state in Iraq and the Levant” (EIIL), which translates into English as “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria”, or ISIS. In Arabic, the acronym of the EIIL gives “Daech.”

“There was almost a year, we realized that our clips were much less dimension” says Freddy Mazzucco L’Est Républicain . Their friends and families told them that in fact they were not on the Internet, or so well after the sites and images linked to the Islamic state.

“We do not policy. But our name is equated with that, no, we do not want. Continue to bear this name would have been suicide, “ Freddy Mazzucco added that, on reflection, decided to change the group name . It is now called “Angel’s Whisper” (the whisper of the angel), a name that expects its registration by SACEM.
