Eagles of Death Metal Release Statement: 'Love Overshadows Evil'

"They tried to kill me and my wife while dancing in front of our favorite band, thankfully they failed".

While French authorities are on the hunt for the mastermind of last week's attacks, the band involved in the deadly massacre in Bataclan Theatre, have finally come out of their silence.

"Hello I was there in The Bataclan, I have the chance to be just wounded, some friends are dead, it's hard to realize that horror, especially when I remember how the first part of the show was very good and there was a so good atmosphere in the place, in a few seconds it was hell on earth!"

Duran Duran will donate all of the publishing proceeds from the sale of Eagles Of Death Metal's version of "Save a..."

The Eagles Of Death Metal concert at Paris' Bataclan theater was one of the focal points for the terrorist attacks, killing at least 89 and wounding over 200.

Fans of the band - along with concert goers who were at the event - are weighing in with their thoughts.

Mettalica issued a statement saying, "While Thomas had the official title of being our "project manager", we knew him as a member of our Metallica family, a fan, a friend ... and a warm, helpful, supportive familiar face each time we visited France".

The newly famous band had until the November 13 attack been more known for loud guitars, a heavy rhythm section and tongue-in-cheek humour.

Lorelei Fisher survived by hiding behind the Eagles of Death Metal's music equipment. "Peace, Love and Death Metal". As would be expected, all the band's shows "are on hold until further notice" The note ends, "Vive la musique, vive la liberté, vive la France, and vive EODM". The post welcomed several comments from the band's fans.

Band co-founder Jesse Hughes and other members of the group, which also goes by the acronym EODM, were in the middle of a European tour promoting the recent release of their fourth album, "Zipper Down".

An online campaign was started trying to get the band's cover of Duran Duran's Save A Prayer into the Official Singles Chart following the tragedy.
