Home U.K. Anti Nazi
The widely held stereotype of the nazi skinhead thug is drastically out of date. The flourishing skinhead culture in britain and america is seeking to distance itself from fascism after the early days of the seventies when skin gigs were effectively recruiting stations for the BNP or the British Movement.
Because of it's violent, wild nature, skinhead culture and the accomp anying 'Oi!' scene was a sensible place for the fascists to look for their footsoldiers. Recently however, the Oi! scene consists entirely of radical anti-nazi militants who simply enjoy the music and culture without holding nazi ideals.
The following is an advert cut from the British National Party homepage. THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT REPRESENT MY BELIEFS IT IS SIMPLY PUBLISHED HERE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT SUCH HATRED AND STUPIDITY EXISTS. IT'S ALL TO EASY TO THINK OF NAZIS AS 'BOGEYMEN' BUT THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THEY ARE OUT THERE IN THE REAL WORLD. I think it's important that we all know the sort of attitude that these racist (or as they call themselves - racialist) wankers have towards music. If the BNP or equivalent far-right party ever gai ns any position of power, there will be no rap or soul, no world music, no blues, just half-assed, 80's rock, with bigotted, fascist and inflammatory lyrics like those given below. Take special note of the band names, and if you see these records at a sal e, DON'T BUY THEM, GET ONTO ANTI FASCIST ACTION, THE ANTI NAZI LEAGUE OR LOCAL RACE RELATIONS GROUPS. See the links section for details.
"So if you love your country then c ome and stand with me, fight for what you love the most and join the BNP" - 'I See No Reason' -- white resistance band Spearhead
Spearhead - Octo ber 1998
SOMETIMES you just know when you've got something good in your hands. That's the first impression I got after buying a newly produced CD, released only the day before, by those fine racial nationalists at Tyr Services.
< p>The first thing that really hits you is the front cover: staring out through the CDs shrink-wrapped (nice professional touch) jewel case is a woman -- a white woman -- spear in hand, strong and determined, ready to defend her family, her country, her ra ce, against any who might wish to bring about their downfall. A woman so beautiful, so fine, the sort of woman for whom men moved mountains, and fought duels to win. Looking at this cover, you can't help but reflect on the fact that there are people out t here who would be only too pleased if women like her were to vanish from the face of the earth.I know that beauty is subjective and that, as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, but this picture is worth a million words. The sor t of imagery that feminists and raging red lesbos around the world would tear their hair out over, and thanks to the Internet, they'll soon be doing just that.
The title of the CD -- `Our Europe... N ot Theirs'-- is clever, for while we should never forget the brave struggles of the rest of the white nations around the globe, this is a fundraiser for next year's Euro elections and it does keep the mind focused on the matter to hand. Furthermore, the t itle, plus the fact that three of the tracks are by a Swedish band, makes it clear that our opposition to the European Empire does not set us against the other peoples of Europe.
The insert is also in full colour, and contains a dedication section and importantly, the address of the BNP. It states that "all money raised by this CD will go to help the party's Euro Election campaign 1999." The insert also contains band photos /details, and contact addresses so that listeners can get in touch with ba nds directly to obtain other CDs, concert details, etc. The back cover is simple but effective, with the song list superimposed over a photo of a nationalist music festival.
The layout and presentation of this CD is absolutely top-notch , and bea r in mind that this is coming from someone with a collection of nationalist CDs now numbering in the hundreds. Of course, there is always room for improvement. I know that Tyr Services were working with a limited budget, but if this CD is well received th en maybe lyric sheets could be included in future releases?
Now for the music. I must say that this CD has been very well thought out indeed. A wide variety of musical tastes are catered for. You've got fast and furious Oi!, rock anthems, heavy me tal, and slow and melodic ballads -- all harnessed together in one neat package.
Track one is by Welsh white power giants Celtic Warrior. A hard-hitting song about Sydney Cooke and other monsters who prey on and murder innocent children. The liberal establishment says we should show compassion and understanding to creatures like Cooke, but when our day comes the Sidney Cookes of this world will have the fate which is the title of the song: "To the gallows."
As a matter of interest, Celtic Warrior hold the honour of being the only people ever to have been instantly deported from Sweden. The Swedish government is possibly even more liberal than that of Britain, and lets in 'asylum-seekers' by the bucketload, or rather the container l orry load. Some of these 'asylum-seekers' have known connections to Islamic and Kurdish terrorist groups, and all are allowed into Sweden and given money and accommodation for years, whilst the Swedish authorites 'look at their cases'.
Celtic Warrior, on the other hand, were to have been in Sweden, paying their own way, for just a weekend, to sing songs of white solidarity and hope to Swedish patriots suffering under an insane and unjust system. Yet they were not even allowed to leave the airport before being detained and deported on the next flight back to Britain.The Swedish authorities claimed that the band might have committed an 'unspecified crime' if allowed into the country. We certainly do live in str ange times.
Whilst on the subject of Sweden, tracks two , three and four are by Swedish favourites Germania. This band has been together for three years now but unbelievably its members are still only 18-years old. It really begs the questi on: how can these lads be so good so young? Three very good numbers including a totally unique cover version of Rahowa's 'Man Against Time.' A voice-distortion effect means that you can almost see the sounds on this track crossing between the speakers. If your like your music heavy, then you'll love Germania, who also make some very good use of synthesisers. They are one of the best live bands around. so if you get the chance to see them, take it. In the meantime, their three songs on this project, all of which are in English, provide an excellent taster.
Next up are two songs from Spearhead. No, not the magazine! This is a winning combination of Jonesy of English Rose and Graham of Avalon -- both of whom have already very generously donated supplies of their own bands' CDs to help raise funds for the Euro campaign. Classical purists who object to this kind of music must at least grant that the lads in the white rock scene put their money and time where their mouths are.
Spearhead have a traditional Oi! sound, but with a modern feel to them. Great lyrics, great vocals and I have a sneaky suspicion that these two songs are going to become white power classics. Can't wait to hear them performed live.
The first song, 'I See No Reason', contains the lines "So if you love your country, then come and stand with me, fight for what you love the most and join the BNP." White power Oi!, fast and furious, and played at its best.
Older readers can also perhaps t ake some consolation from thinking about the way in which such lyrics will sink into the minds of growing numbers of young people who would never read the magazine Spearhead in a hundred years.
Of course it's true that rock music has been used to influence a generation in favour of degeneracy, drugs and race-mixing, but it is equally true that it can be used to convey our message as well! As the Salvation Army used to say when criticised for much the same reason: "Why should the devil have all th e best tunes?"
Next up are Coventry favourites Avalon. Three very well-written and thought-provoking songs, with Graham's vocals shining through. 'Strength and Will' is particularly powerful, with very effect ive use of a spoken interlude between the steady, insistent drums and some skilful guitar riffs: "This is the time for our people to awake, and this is the time for our people to find the strength and the will to fight."
There can be no doubt tha t having such a superb CD produced in support of the BNP will encourage a significant number of young people to get involved in the political fight, as well as in the struggle to recreate an authentic cultural voice for dispossessed white youth.
T rack nine, 'I Believe (We Can Win)' includes some fine female backing vocals, which really lift an already great song to new heights. One day, on that fine day of victory, Avalon will play to a crowd of one hundred thousand patriots at Wembley stadium.
Last, but by no means least, is 'Stand By Me', performed by Warlord. Lead singer Stigger is one of the best guitarists around today, but just you wait until you hear his voice. Slow and melodic and ballady, with some great accoustic guitar, a nd vocals that so perfectly fit this kind of song. This track will leave you with a lump in your throat contemplating the hard struggles ahead and the sweet taste of victory. With its Arthurian theme and classical influence, this final track has a very di fferent sound and feel to the rest of the tracks, and it shows how varied the white music scene in Britain is now becoming.
It is that diversity, detectable in the other songs as well, which makes this well put-t ogether project the best compilation CD I have ever heard. If I had to pick a favourite it would be very hard -- there are just so many damned good songs on this CD. You'll just have to buy it and decide for yourself! Get it now and get copies for friends -- they'll love it.
Tyr Services have really pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat with this one. A big thanks to all those responsible, and to all the bands for donating tracks. Congratulations as well to Bristol and Somerset BNP for finan cing what looks set to be a fund-raising winner, as well as another step forward in the development of the white resistance music scene.
