Industrial band Skinny Puppy has presented an invoice the U.S. government for using its music to torment inmates at a prison camp for terrorist suspects.

“We heard through a reliable grapevine that our music was being used in Guantanamo Bay prison camps to musically stun or torture people,” founder cEvin Key told the Phoenix New Times. “We heard that our music was used on at least four occasions.”

While the Canadian group tackles transgressive themes in a harsh musical style, Key said the thought that his music was used to torture prisoners made him feel “not too good.”

“We never supported those types of scenarios,” Key said. “It’s kind of typical that we thought this would end up happening, in a weird way, because we make unsettling music, we can see it being used in a weird way. But it doesn’t sit right with us.”
