Media coverage
[edit | edit source]In 2005, it was reported that vocalist Rigel Walshe was a constable in the New Zealand Police, with questions being raised about the contrast between his job as a public servant and the violent lyrics in Dawn of Azazel CDs.[2][3] No official action was taken as his police work and singing careers were kept separate.[citation needed]
