The three members of Tasmanian band Intense Hammer Rage have pleaded guilty and been fined for importing a prohibited product, their latest CD, into Australia.
The three pleaded guilty to importing a prohibited product into Australia in April 2001.
Customs officers seized 207 copies of their CD Avagoyamug, believing it contained offensive lyrics that would be considered revolting and against common standards.
The CD had been produced in the US by record company Razorback records.
