In Review – Nemini Parco
Name – Kaos
Style: RAC
Tracks: 10
As you may know, I'm a fan of the Spanish scene, so it’s a
pleasure to write down a review for a band from this country. The album
consists 10 singalong tunes, all sung in Spanish, with lyrics about European
history, national pride, freedom and good times with friends and comrades.
The singer Alex has previously been involved in another band
called Irminsul with which he had one demo “Le hora de la venganza” in
2008.
With Namini the sound is much more solid and polished, and
the band has definitely used a professional studio for the record.
Speaking from my own experience, as I saw band live
performance at their gig in Bulgaria, Nemini Parco is worth to see both on
stage or buy their album.
I'll leave here the first and the best track of the album -
"White Guetto", just to set an example for the band's creativity and
to make you all sing loudly... Ooooooooohh, White Ghetto Family... A hymn for
the Nationalist European Skinheads!!!
While our guys were having fun in Rome, our comrades from Flanders (Belgium) were preparing to make a come back with a gig on 12th of January, 2019. The place is Bruges - the medieval gem of Flanders. Some often refer to it as the Venice of the North and they are right. The city has this unique medieval charm and attracts tourists from all over the world. None ever regretted their travelling decision!
Flanders followed the tradition of organizing nationalist gigs and this year they surprised us with an interesting line-up. Among the faces, we already knew from the parties in Bulgaria during the previous years, this time the guests were able to see Kriegsberichter (GER) and Green Arrows (IT). But before we go on the details about the venue and the bands’ performance, let us take a moment to mention a few things about the organizers and the movement in Flanders.
The event was hosted by a couple of friends in a private venue in Bruges. According to what we know from different sources, this was the fiftieth gig they were organizing; without counting the acoustic ones and other small side events like the one for 11th of July, for example.
In contrary to how things are here in Bulgaria, the government and NGOs are giving their best to suppress the nationalist youth and ban all their activities. However, the guys took an enormous risk and threw an amazing party for everyone attending.
I think you will appreciate learning what one of the organizers had to share with us days before the gig takes place:
“So it all started on a regular Saturday between beers. We were talking about the past and trying to figure out when it was that Belgium had turned silent. From having the infamous skinhead bar “De Kastelein” to all different gigs from different organisations, it has been rather quiet the last years due to smaller and more intimate events, but still, people bring up that nothing ever happens. And this is how the seed was planted, and we said why couldn’t we do it?
We are all from different backgrounds, some have ties with Blood and Honour, others have their own bands or simply enjoy the music. That is why we decided to not make this gig under any banner but instead begin something new. The people here have the power, strength, willingness and motivation to create something more - something new. But for this to happen we need to gather, regroup and get into contact with each other.
The idea of this concert is to yet again try to unite the people under one banner. People are so caught up in their own battles that they are losing sight of what is important. Folk, Faith and Family. But the red thread through all of that is just Unity.
So the plan was there, the intention was there, but we also needed a name. Still Standing is taken from “I’m Still Standing” by Kill, Baby Kill. Not only is the band from Bruges, but this song represents us all. We are still standing, we are still here, they can try to beat us, ban us but we will strike back, and most of all, we will show that we are here to stay!
After a lot of discussion over the date, we decided to have the gig in January. The reason for this is that September, October and November were already packed concert wise, so we decided to do it in January.
And finally, here we are...a few days to go and then it’s D day! We have months of organising behind us, and probably a lot more grey hairs, but we are almost there. The goal is already achieved, knowing that all of you guys will show up and support us!
Let’s raise some hell in Belgium!”
So, the day has come and it was time for us to head to Bruges. We had a couple of drinks together in one of the pubs in the city, then went sightseeing and by the time we were ready, it was already time to go to the venue.
We drove to a private club. The place was spacious enough, with a bar, stage, and a green area outside for the smokers. People were coming in and by the time the first band was on the stage, the venue was full packed with people having fun and laughs. Guys from 28 Hexagone, 28 Vlaanderen, Bruges and the Netherlands were making sure to keep everyone safe and things under control. There were people from all different places; besides the locals, we saw people from France, Sweden, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and other countries.
The gig began around 7:30 PM. First on the stage were Snöfrid. They sang some of their own songs, as well as covers of Ultima Thule and other bands. Second were the Germans from Kriegsberichter. The guys played hate punk tunes and were super energetic and managed to translate some of that energy to the audience. A lot of people from the crowd seem to know the band pretty well and sang along their songs in both German and English.
Third on the stage were Green Arrows. The Italians, who are one of the most talked-about NS hardcore bands making music right now, performed amazingly, delivering one of the night’s heaviest sets. They were well prepared and made the crowd moving. According to what we saw, everyone was enjoying the opportunity to dive into their work.
Shortly after Green Arrows, on the stage, we saw Vit Legion. The guys were entertaining the crowd with their own songs as well as covers of famous English tunes. They had a couple of songs dedicated to the ladies too. Overall, great performance from the guys.
Last, but not least, we saw Whitelaw Unplugged. Benny opened up the show with a short speech noting that it was 21 years ago when the band first of many times they played in Bruges and that it was a pleasure for them to return back and play for us again. Benny, as usual, was creative and had an engaging game for the audience. He needed volunteers to use whistles and recreate the tune for the song he was singing. Many went on the stage and sang along with him. Even though the plan was to let Whitelaw play acoustic, two drummers within the audience took it upon themselves to spice up their performance.
It was quite the evening we spend in the venue in Bruges on Saturday night. The lineup was great and the organizers definitely delivered to our expectations. They provided a great night of fun, great people and friends, and limited-edition merch. We could not ask for more having in mind how hard the local authorities and the media tried to sabotage the whole thing. There were even articles and reports on the national news about us, days before and during the gig took place. However, we had a blast! Hands down for the great job! We look forward to seeing you again!
This gig was organized by our Club 28 Serbia.
As usually we started to make plan about gig in spring time. Our choice this
time was to invite Brainwash from Germany, and Code 291 from Sweden. They
accepted and we made deal easy. We arranged also two Serbian bands to play - Iz
Revolta and Kristalna Noc. Later we spoke with guys from Czech band Dont
Control to play and deal was made. Since the beginning we had good response
about this event.
When week of gig finaly came foreign comrades
started to come since wednesday,so it was good fun as expected. Friday party
was finished and at Saturday morning we had some hot news. One newspaper and tv
station were talking about evil nazis gig in Belgrade. Actually, on 20.October
was date when Belgrade was liberated from 'occupation forces' in WW2. We didnt
even know that we choose perfect day for our gig. Anyway, we didnt care about
it too much.
First band to open the gig was Kristalna Noc.
They play a lot of their old songs, but also few new ones which will be
published on their new up comming album.
Audience was ready for Swedish pride Code 291.
Their melodic RAC sound and english lyrics were great accepted by internacional
audience. At the end of their set riot police stormed into our hall and gig was
stoped. Cops checked ID documents of some guys and left hall, so we could
continue with show.
CODE 291
Next band on stage was Iz Revolta. This was
promotion of their just released debut cd. Domestic audience really enjoy this
band. They also did few cowers from Skrewdriver. It was time for Brainwash.
They are real professionals, sound was excelent. Crew in audience had a good
fun. They also sing in english so everybody enjoy their music. And they did
some Skrewdriver covers in their own style too. Top guys and one of the best
bands on scene in my oppinion.
Gig was closed by Czech guys - Dont Control.
They did just few songs because of time limit. All in all, this was succesfull
event and nice weekend.
There were around 200 people on gig. Once
again, thanks to all people which came from Germany, Sweden, Wales, France,
Greece, Russia, Bulgaria, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia. Thanks to all of
you for support.
Just a few days before their gig in Bulgaria, we are proud to publish an interview with the Finnish legends Mistreat. Interview is originaly conducted by 28 Bulgaria, published here with their kind permission.
1. Congratulations on your 30 year anniversary on stage! Can you please tell us more about the band; how the idea for it was born; who are the original members and what kind of changes in the lineup it went through the years?
Mistreat was formed 1988 by three friends (Muke, Jönne and Kaitsu). We were childhood friends and somewhere in mid 80ˋs, we started to have some interests for playing music and form a band, instead of doing nothing. We played under different names 1985-1988, started as a punk band, but very soon changed our style to oi-punk and year 1988 it was clear that our style had become to so-called RAC. I guess it was mostly because of the lyrics. People were calling us nazi punks all the time anyway, so it was obvious what happened with the band and itˋs style. Our band was called Synthetical Bastards at the time and we thought it was about the time to change that as well. It sounded too much punk for us… It was a birth of Mistreat.
Original Mistreat line up was:
Muke - vocals, guitar
Kaitsu - bass, vocals
Suikkanen - guitar
Jönne - drums
We havenˋt got much lineup changes during the years. Only second guitarist has been replaced couple times. When original second guitarist quitted 1991, he was replaced by Arska and he played with us 1991-1996, he was replaced by Miika, who played with us 1996-2007 (but had some breaks from playing 2002-2004, then he was replaced by Jose, our current guitarist as well). Our original drummer quitted 2004, he was replaced by Atte our current drummer. When our original bass guitarist quitted 1994, we started to play as a trio Me as a bassist, Jönne drums and Arska second guitar. Year1996 we met Pete (our current bassist), that´s when I jumped back to guitar.
Nowadays I’ m the only original member left, but the current line up of Mistreat had been the same pretty long time now.
Me - Muke, guitar and vocals (since 1988)
Pete - bass and backing vocals (played in Mistreat since1996)
Jose - guitar and backing vocals (played in Mistreat more or less since 2002)
Atte - drums (in Mistreat since 2004)
2. Your new album “Heartless Bastards” is one of the top ones for 2018 and all that waiting for it definitely was worth it. Still, what is the reason you did not release an album for nearly 10 years?
Thanx for your kind words, I appreciate that. Why it took 13 years since the last one? There are a couple of reasons...Normally we released our albums by ourselves but decided after the last one "Never Forgive, Never Forget", it´s no use to make CDs anymore. One moneymaker buys one copy and then makes 1000 copies out of it. We don´t wanna be part of that kind of shit. Better not to make albums at all. Actually, last five years, lots of people all around the world wanted to hear some new Mistreat stuff and when this 30th anniversary of Mistreat was coming on, we decided to make it happen. This time we just didnˋt wanna put it out by ourselves, because of the reason I just mentioned. If someone will make thousands of bootlegs out of it, we donˋt need to care about that much.
3. Mistreat is one of the few bands that still stays true to its style since its beginning. Do you think you are traditionalists or you just believe that if one thing is good enough and everybody likes it, there is no need for a change?
Yes, it´s true we havenˋt changed that much during these 30 years, we still play the same kind of music style with the same kind of lyrics, but the scene has changed pretty much. Back in the 80ˋs, every skinhead band played the same kind of oi-music, now there´s all kind metal music, Viking metal, and NSBM involved in that scene..not even members in the bands are necessarily skinheads. I wouldn´t call us as a traditionalist that way… I guess we´re just stuck in 80´s and early 90´s and can´t even do anything else than music from that era. Our music and lyrics are simple as it was back then, guess we must believe that simplicity then?. So far, people have liked it all over the world, so no need for a change. Iˋm very grateful and happy for that.
4. Finland is a country with numerous skinhouses and your skinheads still keep wearing the traditional outfit from the 80s. Do you encounter problems with the police in relation to the music you make? Have you ever had problems with the authorities during gigs?
Finland is one of the few countries in Europe where it´s pretty easy to make this kind of music and organize gigs without the authorities causing problems. It´s pretty rare that cops would even mind to show up on our gigs. Sometimes they do, but just to check that everything´s ok. They´re not arresting people for having swastika t-shirts etc...Also, we haven't faced any problems here cause of our music, at least problems caused by authorities. Of course, local Antifa clowns are trying their best to snitch to our employers, that we are nazis etc..that normal shit they do, but so far no one cares about that either.
5. Finland is probably one of the countries where you can still see monuments with swastikas. We are also aware of the fact that you have the only Messerschmitt left (not counting Germany) from the WWII. At the same time, you are the only country in the EU where people can see a monument of Lenin. How do the society and your politicians look on history, and especially on the period of the WWII? Do you have a lot of antifascists and are they some kind of a threat to these monuments? Or the nationalist movements in the country at all?
Yes, we have lots of monuments here and this Lenin monument and Lenin Museum as well heh, heh...Our politicians respect our history (at least most of them) and those monuments are part of it. Finland got its independence after Revolution in Russia 1917 and Lenin was the first one as a Bolshevik leader who declared Finland's independence. Guess that's why his monument is still somewhere in Finland. Politicians in general here are still mostly patriots as much as normal average citizens. Everyone respects our history and what this small country has had to endure for centuries. So, when it comes to monuments about winter or continuation wars. Every single one here respects those monuments and those monuments are not scrawled, smashed or vandalized in any kind of way, not even by Antifa clowns... Only monuments those clowns are scrawling are the monuments about Finland's civil war and of course monuments of the white side. Antifa is small organisation here (maybe couple hundred) and they've made a fool out themselves so many times that everyone is laughing at them. Even average people are laughing at them. We have several nationalist movements here and every and each one of them is bigger than any left-wing movement.
6. Do the Finnish people appropriately commemorate one of the greatest heroes in your history - the sniper Simo Häyhä. Do kids study about him in schools? Does the media mentions something about him or they try to avoid the topic?
Oh yes, he was one of the great soldiers fighting against red invaders, but he wasn't the only one. In Finland, there are several men like him who fought in Winter War, Continuation War and in Lapland War, who did similar actions than Simo Häyhä. The majority in Finland respects these veterans and kids are certainly learning in schools about these veterans and about these wars we had to go through. Media is also writing about these wars all the time, but mostly when it´s some sort of commemoration day like 70-years when winter war started etc...i can imagine that year 2019 it´s gonna be 80-years when winter war started, so it´s certainly gonna appear in headlines in every newspapers, tv-news, radio shows and so on...I think last time I heard about Simo Häyhä in media, was early this year when they opened a museum in honor of his memory. Even if the media is pretty much owned by Jews and most of the journalists are left wing, in Finland, it's a kind of different to write about these things. Everyone respects our war heroes, even 99% of left wingers. A reason might be that we as a country did not attack anyone, we just defended our land, it´s territories and its people against this red evil empire.
7. Molotov cocktail was invented in Finland. Can you tell us more about it? What is the story behind it and the reason for its invention?
Oh yes. Some people might say that it was invented in Spanish civil war 1936, but it´s not the same thing. It was actually invented in Finland before the Winter War and it was named after Soviet foreign minister Vjatseslav Molotov. The reason why they named this for Molotov cocktail is that Molotov had been saying that Soviet bombers are not bombing Finland by bombs, only with food aid packages..heh... (by the way, In one of our songs we are singing - Njet molotov, njet molotov, you lied more than bobrikov...). so it was like a gift back to him from Finnish people. The reason it was invented is simple. We as a small nation at the time didn't have enough ammunition/anti-tank weapons against Soviet tanks (cause they were so many), so we were forced to come up with something. The recipe was simple. A little bit of petrol, rubbing alcohol and some tar for getting some smoke as well. It worked like hell. Winter war lasted only 105 days and the Soviet Union Lost almost 2000 tanks during that time. About 500 of those were caused by molotov cocktails.
8. Some of your lyrics are directed against Russia. What do you think of the Russian people and in particular, what is your opinion about the Russian nationalists nowadays? We saw a few of them who had come to support you at the gig in Helsinki. Is it possible that the hostility between two nations can be put behind our backs in the name of a united Europe; at times when we need to be stronger than ever?
To be honest, our lyrics against Russians are not lyrics against Russians at all. Those songs we are singing are old propaganda songs from winter/continuation war (like this njet molotov, for example) and those got nothing to do with normal Russian people. We don't have anything against Russians as a people and as a matter of fact, we have Russian friends as well, so if there were some hostilities between these two nations? from my opinion it´s over now. We hate only politics they had in 30´s and 40´s and the fact, that they started the winter war without any provocation by Finns and the fact, that they stole a little part of our country, which we would like to have back. My opinion about Russian nationalists? Have to remember that there's all kind of nationalists in Russia and they´re all fighting for different purposes, but at least those I know from St. Petersburg and Moscow are exactly like we are and also fighting for pretty much the same causes that we are. So I see us as friends and not like enemies anymore.
9. Helsinki is one of the whitest northern capitals. However, several years ago, when the boom of the immigration wave happened, many Finns came out on the streets to protest against the illegals who wanted to enter your country. And as far as we remember, there was also a blockage of the border. During that same time, a new organization emerged - “Sons of Odin”. Can you tell us more about them? Who they are? Are they really nationalists or just puppets of the government? Also, what the politicians and society think of the immigrants from Asia and Africa?
I only know about these "Sons of Odin" that they were/are just concerned citizens, who just got worried about what happened around them. Rape waves, murders, etc...they wanted to protect their women, children and their childhood neighbourhood from these middle east animals. Because the government didn't do a shit (even if it was obvious what was happening), they decided to do something. Some of the members are nationalists, some of them are skinheads and some of them just "normal fathers". In my society average people like more Asians than Africans, cause Asians are normally working 100% and they stick with their own race. You can't say the same thing with Africans and even politicians know that but canˋt admit it. Maybe because they are making pretty good money out of this "immigrant crisis". Those thousands of Somalians who came to Finland already in late 80ˋs, only 4% of them are working. Tells me a lot about their mentality...What makes anyone think that these new coming animals are any better? They´ve had already proved them otherwise by raping and stealing...So, Everyone knows these people are cockroaches, parasites, rats... Politicians won't tell that loud out cause they are making money out of it. Money that comes from normal hard working peoples asses, who needs to pay for their party. So, people are angry and Organizations like "Sons of Odin" will be more, sure about that. Even if our government is working pretty hard to ban all kind of organizations, that smells even a little bit of nationalism.
10. You have a song dedicated to the American Hammerskins and the gig in Helsinki was co-organized by both organizations. As far as we know, the Finnish skinheads are in good relationships with some moto clubs as well. Are you members of any organization or political party?
Yes, in Finland we are and have always been in good relationships with some mc clubs. We visit their parties and they visit our parties as well. Don´t know why it´s like that? but it started already in 80ˋs... Guess we both are some kind of violent groups who like to drink and have fun and we respect each other that way. B&H and Hammers/Crew 38 in Finland are actually sharing the same clubhouse and they are cooperating all the time. We are good friends with both organizations, but personally, we´re not members of any of these organizations or political parties. We support them both with different activities and do the same thing with some political movements, but that's about it.
11. Most of your songs are in English and even during the gig in Helsinki you sang in English. Is there a reason for that?
When we started in 80´s, we only sang in Finnish, but the scene in Finland was pretty small at the time. Have to remember that Finland was a small country and it still is a small country. Only 5.5 million people are living here and if here´s nowadays ca.1000 skinheads here, back in the eighties we were under 100 skinheads in the whole country. We decided to make some "test songs" in English, so maybe other skinheads around the world could understand what we are singing. We understood that pretty soon that maybe it´s better to continue with English, but also won't forget to make some songs in Finnish once in a while. Mostly those Finnish songs are about winter/continuation war or just drinking and fighting songs.
12. Mistreat is a band that more than once has performed on stages across the ocean. Will you tell us more about the places you have been? Is the atmosphere different compared to the European one?
Yes we have played in most of the European countries and in northern America several times (New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Minnesota, Atlanta, etc...) and now we just came back from Brazil, so list for the countries we've played is kind of big. Easier to say countries we havenˋt been playing. Those countries in Europe we havenˋt been playing but would like to visit are at least Portugal, Ukraine and Serbia. But yes, the American audience is not that different compared to the European audience and in my eyes, they are just Europeans living in America. Of course, people in west coast are a little bit more relaxed than in east coast, up in north people are exactly like we are and in the south, they are like we plus southern mentality/hospitality and that is something unique. Gigs are exactly like anywhere else in Europe, but they might have some other activities during the day also like strong man contests, etc... Which I think is just fun.
13. Final words for your Bulgarian fans. What should we expect from you in November?
Thanx to you for showing some interests for our band. iˋm flattered and happy to still have this opportunity to keep on playing. feeling privileged to travel around the world, feeling honoured that people still keep coming to our shows. This is our first time in Bulgaria and we're really looking forward to visiting/playing in your country. Promise to give you the best of us and hopefully you won't be disappointed. Thank you already in advance.
14. Thank you for your time. We look forward to seeing you!
You support us, we support you.
See you soon brothers and sisters.
Best regards from the land of the thousands of lakes!
Muke
Lublin, Poland -
the role model city! On Saturday, October 13th, 2018, a homosexual demonstration
called “march of equality “ and counter demonstration went through the Lublin
city center. Football fans, patriotic groups and large amount of city
inhabitants showed up at castle square to show their resistance and fight for normality.
Despite the information told by the city mayor ,that in case of any danger or
threat the march will stop immediately ,none of these happened. Ordinary people
in a large number showed up to resist the sick propaganda of leftist society. After
all, 21 people were arrested, which 16 is still held in a local jail. Lublin
gave a great example how to fight for normality and is first city in Poland to
show such a great resistance and attitude against homo propaganda.
The 25th Ian Stuart Memorial took
place in Northern England on the 21st and 22nd of September. Despite the
repressive attempts and sabotage of the UK government, more than 300 people
managed to reach the place where the gig was hosted and honored the memory of
our founder.
The first evening, as usual, on the
stage we saw ballad performers, all known faces, including band members from Brutal
Attack, Blackout and Whitelaw. Besides from playing their own songs, they also
covered some of Ian Stuart’s ballads. And, of course, the new songs of Blackout
“Blood and Honour” did not remain unnoticed!
On Saturday, more and more people
kept coming while at the same time, we were receiving information that some of
our brothers and sisters where held on the border and checked by police as they
were some sort of criminals. As a result, many were not even allowed in the
country!
One of the most disturbing things
that weekend was the case with our comrades from the Netherlands. They were
restrained for over 26 hours on the border between France and the United
Kingdom. After release, they were sent back home just because they were going
to a gig hosted by Blood and Honour, an organization banned in Germany, Spain,
and Russia. What do our Dutch comrades have in common with those aforementioned
countries no one even bothered to explain.
However, let us get back to the
gig. Around 5 PM Stevie went on the stage and announced the start. He played a
few well-familiar ballads and right after his performance, we were able to see
a tribute band playing the songs of legendary English bands. Then we saw
another tribute band (comprised of band members from Embers of an Empire and March
or Die) which this time sang songs of No Remorse. Afterwards, Blackout from
Wels entered the stage and for a millionth time, they prove to be one of the
best bands from the Kingdom.
Once Blackout sang their last song,
on the stage we saw the veterans Squadron. A year after their official return,
one of the first skinhead bands demonstrated class and performed amazingly. In
fact, very soon, we are expecting to hear their first album in years!
The next band was Whitelaw; we had
them over in November last year. And once again, Benny did not cheat on his
style to speak between every song, trying to motivate the crowd. The
culmination was when the guys asked for a minute of silence and soon after it,
we heard speeches playing in honor of Ian Stuart.
Finally, it was time to see one of
the most iconic bands in our scene - Brutal Attack. This time they surprised us
with new songs from their latest album “21 Rockers”. Before the song “Tales of
Glory”, Ken turned to Benny from Whitelaw who was close by and said that he is
dedicating this song to him due to his words before the minute of silence.
The last band for the night was Legittima
Offesa. Our Italian brothers need no introduction from us. They kept the crowd
entertained with their traditional Italian RAC sound. Unfortunately, Dirlewanger
from Sweden could not play that night as their vocalist was unwell and was
advised not to perform. However, the two-day-long festival went by in a
friendly atmosphere. As a tradition, this year again we camped on the spot near
the venue.
After nearly 3 days spent with our
friends from all around Europe, the time came to say goodbye, but of course,
not for long because we will meet each other again on another event organized
by our comrades from Blood and Honour. No matter how hard the government and
authorities try to sabotage or even ban us, they will never succeed because we
have something they do not - unwavering spirit and faith in the final victory.
828!
I’m pleased to introduce our next guest, Frank of the top German band Stahlgewitter. Thanks for sharing time of your busy schedule to answer my questions. Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Greetings to you, S., and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the magazine! My name is Frank, 40 years old, father, and musician, blogger, nationalist and active for my country since 14 years of age. My bands are Stahlgewitter and Halgadom and I have got two videoprojects in addition. Der dritte Blickwinkel (the third viewpoint) and Multikulti trifft Nationalismus (Multicultural meets nationalism).
In the first one, I express my viewpoint on several themes like, nationalism, racism, white genocide, motivation and discussing the lies from the mass media relating to our big concert "Rock gegen Überfremdung" for example. The other project features a black immigrant. We discuss mass migration without anger, but with mutual respect. Leftists and the media try to boycott this project, because it destroys the stereotype that nationalists are stupid and full of hate. Whoever understands German, may check my blog. There you can find all videos and essays from me:
How does it all get started? When and where you did first meet Gigi and decided to launch a band?
When I was 14 or 15 years old, I had a one-man band called Volkstroie. A comrade asked me, if I would be interest in a new band with the singer of Saccara. I liked Saccara and the voice of Gigi, so we launched the band in 1995 and released our first CD Das eiserne Gebet 1994.
What is the origin of the band’s name? Is it associated with the novel written by German officer Ernst Junger about the First World War entitled “In Stahlgewittern”?
Yes, you are right! “Thunder of steel” meaning shrapnel, bombs and everything that kills the enemy in a war.
Tell me about your first album “Das eiserne Gebet”? You had almost no experience as a musician at that time (1996) and as far I know it was recorded with a drum machine and most of the songs began with the same intro?
I used the drum machine for my first one-man project “Volkstroie”. Because we weren't really a proper band, just Gigi and myself, we used this opportunity. It wasn’t the best, so we got real drummers for all other CDs.
The band showed a large progress with the next album “Germania” (1998), which according TO many fans, is still one of the finest albums in the German scene. What caused this fast evolution of Stahlgewitter?
Thank you for your words! Evolution should be the way of everything. Gigi and myself listened a lot of metal music, which is why our music doesn’t sound like most of the RAC bands. Why such difference between our first two releases? I don’t know but it is nice that you and our audience recognized it.
As far as I know all of your albums are “indiziert” by the German authorities. What is the reason for this? Can you explain to the non-German readers where this censorship stems from?
Only the album “Hohelied der Herkunft” isn’t forbidden. We have the support of 2 or 3 lawyers, who check our lyrics. But this is no guarantee to avoid trouble, because everything depends on the prosecution's decision. They interpret that some words could spread hate against someone or we claim that we aren’t as negative regarding world war II and this is forbidden here. It is crazy. No other country in this world, besides Austria, have such silly laws.
Tell me about the problems associated with Stahlgewitter and yourself, regarding the German secret service? How many units were deployed in the fight against the so called “right extremist”? When was the last time you were approached by them?
For long time, we suffered house searches and my guitar was confiscated by the police, but we were not condemned. They tried to browbeat us, but that's impossible. I have to say, that I have abstained from issues with the authorities for a long period of time. Because, releasing an album is so time consuming, and the last release was 2013. My last problem for “supporting a criminal group”, was when I put a banner of my online shop on the Thiazi-Forum. It was the biggest right winge Forum in Germany. Because of discussing forbidden themes in this forum, the founder were accused of “founding a criminal group”. I had to pay 900 € so the prosecution wouldn’t open a case against me. If I declined to pay, I had to travel to every process to Rostock, a city in eastern Germany. Because of my job, I can’t afford it timewise or logistically. So, I paid the 900 €. and got very big support of my comrades, as they collected the most of the money for me. Thanks for this great Volksgemeinschaft (Folkish community)!
Let’s move on to the social/political part of the interview. I know that freedom of speech is quite limited in BRD, so please disregard any question you may find inappropriate, or which can cause you legal issues in Germany.
German journalist Udo Ulfkotte (who passed away earlier this year) wrote a book pertaining to the so called “Migrant Industry” in Germany. Do you agree that such industry exists?
Yes of course! There is a hidden agenda of NGOs and other parts of this migration industry like the EU commission. But it is not really hidden for people, who can search and read. The UN call it “replacement migration”. The aim is, to fill up Europe with non-europeans, so that consumers can save the never ending growth of capital and economy. The other plan is to destroy our race with racemixing. If there is no homogeneous people, the is no origin and the concept of nation-state and so it is easier to dismantle borders altogether.
I can’t miss the question about the present situation in Germany. What was the reason for the huge illegal immigration influx? What’s the role of Merkel in all this? Do you think she has a real personal impact in this processes or she’s manipulated from external global factors?
Germany is not a sovereign nation nowadays. The so called politicians are like puppets of the big banks, economy and a network of NGOs and lobbys, who pull the strings. Merkel is also a slave of these networks like every politician before her and every politician that will follow in her footsteps. This is the main reason why we have to change the whole system!
The situation is very bad. Since 2015 we got over 2 million arabic and negroid immigrants. 80 % are young men. Every day they rape German women and children, there is an escalation of violence and they plunder our social system. But the main problem are not these immigrants. but rather the democrats, who invite them, and empower them with them more rights that the indigenous population. An example: There are some cases that immigrants burn their own home for people seeking asylum, because they want to live in another place. In these cases, the immigrants get no punishment. Then a German man set a fire in an empty house, which was to become a home for people seeking asylum. He didn’t want crime, raping and violence in his town. He got 2 years in prison for this. When an immigrant rape a German woman or a child, most of the time, he avoids prison. The argument is that immigrants don't know how to behave in Germany, because of the different culture! In fact, we have anti-german race laws. The politicians stand against the German folk. It is the biggest genocide in history!
What will be the impact of all those so called refugees for the German social and economic system in the coming years? How do you see Germany in 2050?
Our social system will collapse and if we don’t change this situation, in 2050 the German folk will be a minority in our own country. So called refugees have the right, to bring their families to Germany, too. So, 2 mio will turn in 8 or 9 million eventually. But we will fight against this genocide and we will never give up!
Please, comment on the recent events in Hamburg, during the annual meeting of G20? Why did the authorities allow this vandalism and violence from the lefties and anarchist? How many of the arrested rioters faced a court trial?
As far as I know, there was not a single condemnation! The reasons are simple. 70 % of the journalists in Germany describe themselves as left wing or extreme left wing. So the media will smother the real violence and try to trivialize the brutality. The SPD (Social Democratic Party) is the strongest party in Hamburg. There are many links between the SPD and left wing violence groups like Antifa or the Black Block. And another important matter is, that the democrats need those left wing extremists in the fight against us, meaning they aren’t persecuted. I hope, the police will recognize the real enemy and will choose the right side, when the time has come.
What is your opinion on the subcultures within the Nationalist movement in Germany? Are they helpful to gain more support from the youth, or are they limiting us from spreading our ideas outside these specific subcultural movements? Have you ever been a skinhead?
No, I was never a Skinhead. I was into the Black Metal scene for many years. I am not against subcultures, but it shouldn’t be the most important thing for us. There are too many negative ingredients such as alcohol, party and indiscipline. There are subcultures for 20 or 30 years. But our germanic, romanic or slawic culture is thousands of years old. That should be important for us. And yes, we are limiting the range of our Weltanschauung, when we set our focus only on subcultures.
As a person involved for more than 20 years in the movement, what is your view about the people involved in German Nationalist scene… how did they evolve since the 90’s?
The movement attracts more faces and during this mass foreign invasion, we reach more people who were not associated with us previously. More faces generate more conflicts inside the movement, that's a sad fact. But I am sure, that these conflicts will be laid aside, when times get harder. We have to realize, that not ego is important, only the community.
How many of them are real activists and how many are for the booze, fashion and fun?
A sad fact is, that more people flok to a concert than a demonstration. But we have to differentiate between "scene" and "movement". Scene is fashion and fun, movement is real Weltanschauung. But the majority have nothing to say, when spirit lacks.
Do you follow any local football team? What is your take on THE hooligan scene in Germany? Is it a good way to stay fit for fighting or it’s a waste of energy best preserved for fighting the System?
I am not into football. For me, it is only commercial and multicultural scrap. To fight someone, because he supports another team is senseless to me. Ok, it could be a training for fighting. But there are so much gangs, drug dealer and other scum which deserve a "third half" more, ha, ha...
What about the relations between German and Polish nationalist? For many years there was hostility between them, but in the past years it seems that the situation is improving.
Personally, I have no contact with Polish nationalists. Of course, there were problems, because of our difficult relationship during Word War two. But I think, today we have as lot more important problems. There is an ongoing genocide against all white people and we have to fight together against this. It doesn’t matter if you come from Russia, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Sweden or another white country. We are united by our destiny of the modern world with all its symptoms of decline.
You recently appeared on a YouTube channel discussing various topics with a reporter of African origin. What is the purpose of this project and why did you chose to cooperate with a black person? What is the feedback from the viewers?
We met each other at a Pegida demonstration in Cologne, February 2016. The sexual mass assaults at new year's eve against German women were the reason. He wanted to know more about the people which are pro and against Pegida. He approached us and wanted to talk. Many of us thought he wanted to provocate, because he was black and the criminal refugees were black too. So, it wasn't easy for him.
I saw him, asked him what he wanted to know, and told him my reasons why I was part of the demonstration and what we have to change. I dind’t know that he was a little bit famous in Cologne, because he is like an entertainer as he presented himself. He stages events featuring VIPs, artists and businessmen called “Connect and celebrate” that people can do networking, for example. He made a video of our conversation and put it on his Youtube -channel. He was absolutely fair and didn’t alter the content of my answers, as is the common practice with other so called journalists. I put a comment under his Facebook post with the video and told him, that he is a fair guy and I invited him to an interview for my blog, to which he subsequently agreed. It was a very long interview. After the interview, we met again in Cologne and explained to each other, what we thought of the situation, the mass migration and Germany in general. Following our meeting, he asked me, if I would make a film with him with our story. I agreed and so we made the first video. He asked me about my Weltanschauung, and I explained it to him. It was a win-win situation. Nana Domena, that’s his name, could show that he was a real connector who can speak with a white nationalist, and I had the possibility to speak freely about my Weltanschauung and that Nationalism has nothing to do with stupid violence. So, we started these project of freedom of speech. Leftists and the system tried to keep our project suppressed, as it doesn't fit with stereotypes the established media spreads about us. The feedback from the viewers was absolutely fantastic! The comments under the video shows the respect for us and our video from different stocks of people: Some foreign people, residing in Germany for a long time, and are against the invasion too, as well as normal people and comrades. I get many mails from people, who saw for the first time a Nationalist, who can explain his viewpoint without all this negative stigma. There were only a few guys from the left, who attacked Nana, that “he gave a Nazi the opportunity to make racial propaganda”. And only a handful of comrades couldn't understand, why I spoke to a black guy. I say it again: I hate no other race. Every race has the right to exist. Of course on their own continent or country. And yes, I am against race mixing and foreign invaders. But we will change nothing, when we fight the invaders. The root of all evil is the democratic/plutocratic system. I told Nana the we have to repatriate millions of so called refugees back to their countries to live in peace. We spoke of the difference of races in medicine and cultural traits, that an arabian guy can’t become a German, like I never could become a Japanese. We spoke about these themes in a respectful way without anger or hate. The special thing is, that a black guy and a white nationalist do that, and there was never a project like this. Ok, in America, David Duke discussed with a black guy via television. But in Europe, this is a novelty and many comrades support this project.
What are your other activities on the net? Tell us about your other video blog called “Der Dritte Blickwinkel".
After my project with Nana Domena, I got many questions about Nationalism, Racism and Identity. So I turned my blog into a vlog, a video blog, and made videos to explain my Weltanschauung. One video is in regard to motivation to keep on the fight, while another is about race-realism; there is also a video about the secret services which supports terrorism, and so on. In the future, I will invite a real film studio and will discuss different subjects with other nationalists.
Returning to music… tell us few words about the other band you are involved in – Halgadom? How can you describe their style and what are the most notable topics in their lyrics?
Halgadom is a form of expression for my pagan and philosophical aspect. The lyrics are about germanic mythology and have a philosophical thought. Some albums are Pagan Metal, some are Neofolk. I play the guitar, compose the songs and do the vocals of the Neofolk songs.
Your opinion on the new trend called NS Rap?
Every generation have its own music of protest. Men like us had Rock or Metal, the youth of today prefers Rap or Hip Hop. That’s not really my music but I think, that this could be a way to reach the youth, when the lyrics are in our way.
What was the reason of the very few live concerts of Stahlgewitter in the past years?
Stahlgewitter consists only of Gigi and myself and we live far away from each other. We don't rehearse together like other bands. I record the riffs at home with my computer, then send them to Gigi and he tells me, what riffs are useful. In this way, we create songs. And when you work in this way, it isn't easy to play concerts. The other matter is that I am not much into live concerts.
What can we expect from Stahgewitter in the near future? Contemplating new gigs or a new album?
When I find time, I create new riffs with my guitar. But free time is rare. So I can’t tell anything with certainty. Sorry.
Few German bands like Exzess, Hailiger Krieg and Lunikoff Verschwörung have already played in Bulgaria. Will you accept an invitation for a gig in my country?
Thank’s for your invitation! But I don’t play concerts. I create the songs with Gigi and record the albums, but I have no time for concerts. My family, job, sport, my video projects, my online shop and many mails and letters fills my day. For concerts, you have to ask Gigi. He has some session musicians for live gigs.
Thanks for your answers, Frank. Any final message to the readers of the blog?
I have to thank you for your interesting questions. We Europeans live in an very important period. We decide if Europe will remain a continent of white people, or if our great Europe will fall down into a dark abyss, without a future for the next generations. We have to stand together and we have to build fortress Europe!
