Heavy metal band responds to 'code brown' incident after fan does 'massive' poo in moshpit before 'kicking it' into audience

A heavy metal band and music venue at the centre of quite the sh**storm have issued a fresh response after a fan's bowels opened in the middle of a moshpit, suggesting 'less-disruptive' ways to celebrate their album.

Yes, you heard that right. Members of the audience were said to have been left ‘crying and vomiting’ amid the Devilskin gig at the University of Otago's Union Hall in Dunedin, New Zealand on July 25.

Disaster well and truly struck in the trouser department when a fan pooped and the faeces hit the floor. Gig-goers told Stuff that the whole thing was a 'night-ruiner'.

Damian Radburnd told the publication how he noticed the smell before he saw it, but that he and his fiancée were uncomfortably close to the action.

"The guy who was directly in front of me proceeded to shake a log down his leg," Damian said.

The moshpit pooper is said to have then attempted to dispose of the evidence in a way that only made things worse... by trying to literally kick it away further into a crowd of heavy-metal lovers.

Damian told the publication: "We shuffled to the side a metre or three, then I realised that I needed to alert security. One guard came over, and verified with me the culprit and saw the offensive material on the floor."

"Is someone sick?" Devilskin singer Jennie Skulander asked the crowd as she stopped the gig (X)

Another gig-goer said she reckons 'the smell triggered lots of people to then vomit', which then cascaded into even more gross drama.

Devilskin noticed that the audience were reacting in strange ways while they were performing, with singer Jennie Skulander asking the panicked, vomiting crowd if everything was alright.

Following the pooey incident, Devilskin referenced the situation in a recent social media post, comically advertising a 'diaper of doom', an adult nappy for their fans to avoid this happening again.

Band suggests 'less-disruptive' way to celebrate album

In a fresh statement given to LadBible, a representative said the band welcomed the enthusiasm, but suggested ‘less-disruptive ways’ to enjoy their live performances and celebrate their music.

“Devilskin acknowledges that the incident caused a brief pause in what was otherwise a fantastic, high energy show to kick off our NZ tour," their publicist said.

“The safety and wellbeing of our audience is always our priority, our crew worked swiftly with venue staff to ensure they had a clean and safe environment to continue enjoying the show. The band appreciates the enthusiasm, but suggests less-disruptive ways of celebrating the 10th anniversary of our #1 gold-certified album.”

Meanwhile the venue, the University of Otago's Union Hall, quipped that the fecal incident was not a ‘code brown’ situation and said the audience member was shortly after escorted from the building.

In a statement to LadBible, they said: “OUSA assisted with production for this event. This was an unfortunate medical incident and should be respected as such.

“This was in no way a deliberate ‘code brown’ situation. They were willingly escorted from the venue by security once staff had assessed the best course of action.

“Staff evaluated and managed an unforeseen and sensitive situation safely and professionally.”
