Gothic metal rocker Cristina Balzano stabs guitarist for bad playing

[Dakota]

The singer in a teen gothic metal band and her brother allegedly stabbed the band's guitarist dozens of times because he did not play well enough.

Police in Genoa, on Italy's northwestern coast, said the 16-year-old victim remained hospitalized but his life was not in danger.

He was attacked Saturday night after the band "Soul Cry" rehearsed. He was stabbed about 50 times, mainly to his back and head.

The 18-year-old singer, Cristina Balzano, and her 16-year-old brother, the band's bass player, were arrested on charges of premeditated attempted murder.

During the rehearsal, band members accused the victim of playing poorly. The attack occurred moments later in a narrow alley.

Balzano was caught by police holding a kitchen knife with a 7-inch blade, her brother next to her and the victim in a pool of blood.

"The motive -- absurd as that is -- is apparently that the way my client played his instrument did not satisfy the two," said Giuseppe Maria Muscolo, a lawyer for the victim.

Police said they had seized a note that the 16-year-old suspect wrote to the victim days before the attack, which read: "I'm preparing a nice little funeral for you."

The victim has accused both suspects of stabbing him, police and the lawyer said.

Balzano initially said she was trying to stop the victim from committing suicide. She later refused to answer investigators' questions. Her brother has accused her of being the only attacker.

Lawyers for the suspects could not immediately be reached for comment. But the Genoa-based paper Il Secolo XIX quoted lawyers for Balzano as saying she doesn't remember anything and that they had asked for a psychological evaluation.

Her brother has already turned on her. Nice.

Soul Cry is a pretty unoriginal name. And so is stabbing your guitarist bandmate, which Varg Vikernes did a much better job of 15 years beforehand.

And here I was thinking James Brown was way too tough on his bandmates.

One more thing: another singer in this cute yet stabby Soul Cry ensemble happens to be named Karen, despite the other singer behaving more like a Karen that the actual Karen.
