Indeed, Che. the nsfw is for the video.

17:43 - Apothecary
The band name means "slavery" in Dutch

17:42 - Fearmeister
Slavery is nsfw now? I'm pretty sure they let us watch some documentaries about that in grade school

17:26 - Marcel Hubregtse
Slavery? :p Probably nsfw? Hahahahahahaha Most definitely nsfw :-)

17:19 - Apothecary
