I wonder if this could be solved by Church of Satan setting up and blasting Slayer or some death metal at 10db above ambient. Seems only fair.
The Satanic Temple. They're the awesome activists. The Church of Satan are a bunch of Ayn Rand-loving assholes who do a bunch of stupid woo-woo rituals and try to justify hedonism.
Thanks, I didn't realize they were different
If they actually use it in the same manner (congregation, break fast, something besides just to make noise ), why not? After all, their point is "what's for you is for me as well."
I'm picturing some angry dude in an apartment near this place just blasting death metal out a, window to drown the prayer out.
It's a start.
When I was in college there was a culture of blasting out music from the windows of the dorms.
Mostly hip hop and pop, not really my genres at the time (though I got into some niche hip hop years later)
At the time, a metal guitarist had recently died violently. They were a local band with a global reach, well local to me, about 2 hours from campus.
That day everyone knew their music, lol. Had my "metal" friends come up with speakers and any other audio gear they could muster.
In my defense, unlike other noise polluters, I observed quiet hours.
RIP Dimebag
One can only hope.
