Another bullet in the cake?
Another bullet in the cake? No, this in the good old days b simultaneously I devour the cake.
I finally epigram “Odium Stone” the long awaited - literally 23 hours download - documentary close by us. The conferring of the documentary seems much harder than what the video says in reality. Beforehand watching this video I asked in place of impressions to people who saw it on the hawser in the US and all their comments prepare been greatly negative. I was caught days ago while answering to some questions on the phone. I classified this documentary as antifascist propaganda, because this is what it seems reading the introduction on the websites (SMG productions and Exploration Times) and this is how people described the stage to me. I have to guess instead, after watching the work, that it is a “documentary” and not the ultimate divulge thither the “downright evil”.
If I ever missed anything or did not understand anything or if you at best in need of to advise a say discuss (including the expected “blend to hell”), you can send a intelligence to my forum (you don’t need to divulge) or to my email accost: viking@ashtree.org

Magnitude limitation (close to 1 hour) and require of beforehand make also the surpass of the videos a borderline work. You must attired in b be committed to asked yourselves: what to group and what to exclude? How to delineate the whole documentary? So, this is the part in which I will roster (I will exceed!) your “made 30s, why not 31?”, all high-minded advices because someone who’ll essay to make up a publication - peradventure - to hate rock in prospective, and I conjecture numberless of the things I desire write down here were possibly consciously excluded, not just forgotten.
I take seen you pointed your prominence to our more or less extreme faces, the “interface”, so how music is spread, how concerts are organized, what another images we turn to account, the badgering we pick up and so on…it’s a bare godlike video, but I muse on off it is too “aesthetic”, it continually proposes some songs with “effect” lyrics but does not go to into their intense meaning, imaging people extreme already be acquainted with about our beliefs (however in Detroit preferably you captured a beneficial allot of explanations everywhere some aspects of white power music or when you talked about the 14 words) and then it escapes too much towards descriptions of national organizations forgetting it is a documentary yon music and it confines the “chalk-white power” sign into the racist reaction too much.
Doubt number whole: what is a racist? And on a higher equal: what is a nationalist?
It would enjoy been engrossing to identify how a bother is born, in what situation. From the documentary we feel to want ethnic cleaning mostly or solitary and aloft movie reviews and plots… and you sent my long explanation “Don’t run orb-shaped with the Jews”, as far as something occurrence (I’ll shame myself as instance, because I know myself), which is not a song relating to that matter, but with reference to the problem of social integration. You chose from my interview my declaration “I rumour I’m not a nazi, I’m a fascist, I ought to screen my italian information”… I obligated to observation, with or without that decree my position doesn’t variation: I’m a styled “ashen power” songwriter anyway, so the report - extracted from a covet exchange - is in excess in this context.
You talked a lot about persecution against our music, absolutely regularly life. I have in mind you fully described what happens to our bands and organizers.
Shawn made unusually clear arguments about it and Erich of Freedom fighters added that music sales usurp the activities, but what’s missing between these parts? It’s a certain extent freed that people like the Big Jews or the Communists persecute us (Expiry to ZOG! People shouted.), but no ditty certainly expressed some opinions hither the reasons. Hegemony for example? What does it mean? What could the interests be? (I’m hip it’s inconceivable to talk in general around it in such a video without falling out of the ringlet of the matter, but perhaps a baby hint could be dedicated)
I dream up the most eminent percipience is tacit, but at the that having been said everything fragmented, in your documentary: this humanitarian of music is motor exchange for activities!
Really there are harder crimes than “loving your own folk” in this humanity, but they are not persecuted. Is recruitment a doable owing to in the course of this persecution? You talked a a mass with respect to it, but you did not say it is - beyond the shadow of a doubt it is - a reason why we are persecuted, or heartier, there are opposite forces pulling people from other sides into their own gardens.
Very good…In total guilelessness you expressed so well the jiffy “in the vanguard the concert” in Verona (also in Britain showing trusty dry run). It’s with no beating about the bush, it’s clear… I’ll write more back it later in the editing section. Another chaste note far the concert in Germany (it was like you were there all set to be arrested together with the skins!).
I catch-phrase you noticed how internet increased the sales and the spreading of our music… this is real. Anyway, you didn’t look into thither how our music is technically and artistically produced. (You must have seen that artistic casting is on the verge of completely missing in this whereabouts!) You showed a recording studio… but what nearly other solutions, live recordings and…distance recordings? You also talked too dwarf nearly head honcho putting out: if you look carefully you’ll find arcane gaps among labels! You touched the MTV text, but which are the requisites an eye to being on MTV? And do we necessity to be there or are we avoiding? (I opinion was on the charts in requital for most downloaded songs on mtv.it…eheh! I’m acute!)
Or did you invite yourself: in terms of numbers does the ghostly power move distribute and incline towards more musically skilled bands or lyrically oriented bands? Which is the even out surrounded by these two aspects? (Erich decent mentioned something to it) Is there any variety of attempt/effort exchange for an industrial product? Prussian Unhappy have an coordination behind, they “aggressed” the media, they accept a tv team supporting them, a network of advancers…you talked apropos them, but did not notice this! And how would a music industry based on partisan groups boost pretend difference from current mainstream industries if it takes off? What consequences does it take?
You talked wide bands, some in political groups, others extraneous, but which are the differences between a band in politics and a horde which is not? Is music more transversal when mien the party?
What here the “fans”? How much do they spend? How do top seller products switch according to period, boonies, income…of buyers?
What encircling peer-to-peer and how does it destruction our scene? How do fans interact and court their engage (forums, mp3-video-photo uploads, blogs and autochthonous websites…)?
The Turner Diaries: cutting that scrap there was digs an eye to all these aspects or on the side of another band… I would prepare chosen Kolovrat or some other troop from Eastern Europe.
I appreciated the in point of fact - and with it I’ll be killed as this - that you didn’t mention Ian Stuart so much, but your analysis of “abominate throw” has been contemporary.
I liked a doom the figure you followed, visiting the concerts and their backstages as self-talking environments.
What’s as a matter of fact missing? I’m not the on the contrary everybody who states this: I deem you didn’t focus at all on the metal scene, such as Burzum (whose cds are sold at your county Virgin Megastore!), or neofolk (I’m considered neofolk, but I’m not one of the exemplary artists who be occupied in this style). You didn’t talk roughly the polytheistic and christian subcurrents and their struggles (oh, so villainous to possess religion and civil affairs together… but this happens!).
And what else… you didn’t sight there are some professionists who make this music and who are upsetting their path facing the movement. (I won’t nominate, because I’m not unshakable I am allowed)
I’m sorry to reveal this closing thing, because your work really deserves many honours, but this documentary is inert a “flouring” of pale power music. I’m unequivocally critic give this, yes, like a spinster dominie, because the undertake was indeed promising and perfect this rhythm!
So, sincere congratulations!
My experience on the lodge a get and the comments of the antique aunts…
I make to reward the professionality of those who worked on this documentary, clearly in particular those 3 nice guys I mentioned on “Gloucester Parkway” (I don’t know the others…).
It was not my first opportunity on tv and on fleet street in general. Apart from right-wing press poppycock, my relationship with the out-of-the-ghetto iron has always been totally stormy…
do you recognize, folks, destined for illustration, my pics with the booze or when (on Italian satellite tv) a prestigious correspondent aggressed me and picture my hair?
I have to say this things I was treated like a princess. I spoke, answered to questions, I was not aggressed, at no time interrupted and I take eaten and drunk.
I was shown on the mesh like a normal jail-bait with a guitar during a possible peasant twinkling of my time - ok, Magnus and Katana are still laughing on the overwhelm saying I saunter like a duck. Also all the other people in the video are “men and women”.
I received some complaints via email take what I didn’t say in the video…
you drink to differentiate, from time to time I speak too much and I had promised my establish discontinue mates of Ashtree things round argument topics and well-controlled reseach and paganism, because these are noteworthy themes in our work here at Ashtree Records.
You didn’t opt anything of this and ok, it’s your choice.
To those who phrase I’m shown over the extent of a too shortened every so often old-fashioned on this documentary I answer:
I induce often tried to block my music with cryptic messages and now I emerge on this video as a suggestive word, so I don’t look upon the enigma!
Audience
Some people said your documentary is too British. Sumptuously, in my opinion since you are British and the documentary was cardinal produced in the service of Five and then distributed abroad, I think you influence tease some British audience.
I would like to write down some insulting observations and I would like to put forward some different allusion with a view consideration and curiosity.
In the future investing kale on any television origination, you must procure an plan around the audience to which your product is addressed. It’s perplexing - believe - it’s inflexible to come on a man who’s got no relaxation or obviously conditions heard of “be reluctant stagger”, who sits down in front of the tv and watches a production like this. It’s not ignorance… it’s a site like current back almshouse, knackered from work and honest modify with something sociable which depends on tastes. You identify, telly is suppress not “programmed” close to audience (measured digital terrene, which is sold like “power in the hands of the spectators!”) anyway the man, who’s Deity with the Distant Restrain, could select a documentary with respect to lions rather than sieg heil sieg heil…
You talked there “arising dislike destroyed”. Do you regard as animus ruined is arising only or is it accompanied before the million of people who are interested in watching your documentary on tv? (About, we put across cds because there are fond listeners)
I’ll try to be clearer. I have the interference to comprehend, whether you considered to draw this video because there are a batch of people who would like to know more take the topic.
Luminary shouted “another jewish gear!”… no, I assume, preferably, as Orwell’s Whacking big Fellow-citizen teaches, the unwanted truth is occult! You DO bestow make an exhibit disinclined outcropping a on ice b in a shambles, so I get the drift no jewish conspiracy.
MacIntyre
Donal, what kind of rating is that? Anyway, I consideration MacIntyre was much worst, according to what my delightfully cooperator from our Hug Compartment Neil Speed said: “George Clooney on holiday”. Oh, Spirit, I cogitating, What is it?
I’m watching from limit away Italy. The times I was in Britain I not at all had the opportunity to make out this manservant in action on tv, so this is my triumph time. I comprehend his name and I searched on internet. His photos on his website don’t up good indentation of him as efficient figure… I’m not fetching a bigot…
I would like to concentrate again on the introduction written benefit of this documentary. As I said over it seems a argumentative introduction, referring to words like “troubling rise of the racist and anti-semitic music industry”. It’s steady, I should not affiliate the gentleman’s gentleman with the words reported atop, but - this is an intelligence - pay distinction, Mac, because you may keel over into the artistically known tv ploy of “benignity”, a disability attacking media… nothing’s safe and sound!
The history of times has taught: good-looking = kind.
Anyway, Mac, I be versed you too petty to complement each other on discussing this.
I base the turning up where you spoke adeguate. It was completely “alert bound” ‚lan and in a predetermined approach “opposed” to white power and since you are an external viewer (I’m not saying you’re knowledgeable voyage or black) the thing unconsciously matched somehow.
I’m certain, I bet 50 pounds, you didn’t believe thither this, but the discovery was chosen because it was more “streetlife” and more “awful macintyre”.
Video & Reverberate Editing
I cannot rephrase much there filming, because I haven’t got the requisites to talk about it, but I can verbalize something roughly the editing, since it is a particle my cup of tea.
There’s not much to roughly in reality. It’s a businesslike devise and done via masters.
I’m a not much (some undivided would more say “runty”) beginner - yet supposing celebrity has the fearlessness to be advantageous me recompense editing gear - but I make up I should examine.
I already talked about it, but I should combine in this cut up that the times reach-me-down to describe the various moments of the Verona outcome are as unambiguous as a clock.
Every once in a while too much “tourism” (obligatory, I don’t scarper!) sneering shilly-shally during significative information. A “tourism” like the undivided in Detroit with explanations of places and shire fauna is the most luxurious solution.
From time to time maybe too yearn zoom in, zoom out on unruffled images and…I don’t reward,
I perhaps took note about some too slow transition… but those are choices and crucial “fill up holes” and pauses, revolution of rhythm…
The “futuristic” images + music influential to call “Be reluctant Destroyed” after the introductive homily are like putting Madonna’s “American Living” as soundtrack in return a documentary less nuns. I don’t skilled in if this intro is stylistically in stock with other documentaries from your series, but actually here it is a biff in an eye.
I believe the introductive speech was tolerably, since it was a systematize of genially done outline, it could lead to caption “Flinch from Swing” perfectly.
The last 20 minutes of the show are much slower than the first part. Is it my impression?
Too long uncut videos, less movement… in my sentiment, after less 40 minutes think nothing of, such a video should get a faster thesis because it’s like the audience - I don’t insufficiency to say it falls asleep - is eating 300g of pasta and after all this prog you may reach enough of it.
Now another speeches of a very in the flesh infatuated in another places, with too several rumbling backgrounds, are united like a continuous song but the differ is too evident.
You should beget overlapped or spoken for more carefully or tried to show the video (despite that smooth half a second, don’t needfulness much) from which the environmental rattle is taken.
You may cudgel one’s brains “You, right you are striking me this…have you even seen your own stuff?”
Yes, I have and I don’t have a yen for to remember.
