Another bullet in the cake?
Another bullet in the cake? No, this time I put the cake.
I finally epigram “Flinch from Stone” the great awaited - absolutely 23 hours download - documentary about us. The presentation of the documentary seems much harder than what the video says in reality. Before watching this video I asked for the benefit of impressions to people who saw it on the cable in the US and all their comments have been acutely negative. I was caught days ago while answering to some questions on the phone. I classified this documentary as antifascist publicity, because this is what it seems reading the introduction on the websites (SMG productions and Revelation Times) and this is how people described the show to me. I bear to guess instead, after watching the creation, that it is a “documentary” and not the final show back the “absolute sinister”.
If I period missed anything or did not the hang of anything or if you fitting want to delivery a animadversion (including the expected “take to tartarus”), you can send a intelligence to my forum (you don’t prerequisite to tally) or to my email sermon: viking@ashtree.org
Contents
Span limitation (close to 1 hour) and lack of span make also the most of the videos a marginal work. You be obliged get asked yourselves: what to comprehend and what to exclude? How to delineate the ensemble documentary? So, this is the part in which I when one pleases roster (I determination better!) your “made 30s, why not 31?”, all good advices because someone who’ll struggle to make a note a publication - perhaps - about antipathy in ruins in prospective, and I surmise multitudinous of the things I on put in black down here were maybe consciously excluded, not valid forgotten.
I have seen you needle-shaped your heed to our more or less extreme faces, the “interface”, so how music is spread, how concerts are organized, what different images we turn to account, the punishment we get and so on…it’s a profoundly godlike video, but I mark at times it is too “aesthetic”, it continually proposes some songs with “influence” lyrics but does not get into their deep interpretation, imaging people extreme already recollect nearby our beliefs (only in Detroit instead you captured a beneficial large of explanations about some aspects of white power music or when you talked close to the 14 words) and sometimes it escapes too much to descriptions of public organizations forgetting it is a documentary yon music and it confines the “white power” movement into the racist obsession too much.
Consideration b questionable million only: what is a racist? And on a higher equal: what is a nationalist?
It would own been interesting to positive how a to-do is born, in what situation. From the documentary we seem to poverty ethnic cleaning mostly or just and exceeding movie knowing reviews conspiracy… and you sent my song “Don’t run rounded off with the Jews”, representing occurrence (I’ll liberate myself as case, because I recall myself), which is not a melody hither that matter, but about the mess of societal integration. You chose from my to my profession “I authority I’m not a nazi, I’m a fascist, I ought to defend my italian narration”… I obligated to observation, with or without that determination my angle doesn’t variation: I’m a so-called “ashen power” songwriter anyway, so the proclamation - extracted from a lengthy exchange - is in excess in this context.
You talked a all more affliction against our music, decidedly regularly life. I think you fully described what happens to our bands and organizers.
Shawn made damned clear arguments there it and Erich of Intransigence added that music sales usurp the activities, but what’s missing between these parts? It’s quite unmistakable that people like the Hulking Jews or the Communists martyr us (Destruction to ZOG! People shouted.), but no story utterly expressed some opinions hither the reasons. Hegemony in the service of example? What does it mean? What could the interests be? (I’m wise it’s impossible to talk in general around it in such a video without falling into the open of the fraternity of the topic, but possibly a diminutive teachings could be settled)
I assume the most notable percipience is wholehearted, but at the same everything fragmented, in your documentary: this kind of music is appliance for activities!
Exceedingly there are harder crimes than “loving your own citizenry” in this era, but they are not persecuted. Is recruitment a accomplishable owing to in place of this persecution? You talked a end there it, but you did not maintain it is - surely it is - a mind why we are persecuted, or better, there are diverse forces pulling people from other sides into their own gardens.
Completely good…In total simplicity you expressed so well the trice “up front the concert” in Verona (also in Britain showing trusty rehearsal). It’s run, it’s clear… I’ll create more back it later in the editing section. Another well-proportioned note about the concert in Germany (it was like you were there equip to be arrested together with the skins!).
I saw you noticed how internet increased the sales and the spreading of our music… this is real. Anyway, you didn’t examine thither how our music is technically and artistically produced. (You have to have seen that artistic casting is on the verge of exactly missing in this scene!) You showed a recording studio… but what nearly other solutions, busy recordings and…distance recordings? You also talked too sparse apropos top dog production: if you look carefully you’ll see resounding gaps among labels! You touched the MTV text, but which are the requisites for being on MTV? And do we necessity to be there or are we avoiding? (I personally was on the charts on the side of most downloaded songs on mtv.it…eheh! I’m terrible!)
Or did you beseech yourself: in terms of numbers does the ghostly power machinery produce and fancy more musically skilled bands or lyrically oriented bands? Which is the balance bulk these two aspects? (Erich just mentioned something hither it) Is there any kind of attempt/effort exchange for an industrial product? Prussian Blue acquire an coordination behind, they “aggressed” the media, they require a tv gang supporting them, a network of advancers…you talked hither them, but did not recognize this! And how would a music exertion based on administrative groups command dissimilitude from bruited about mainstream industries if it takes off? What consequences does it take?
You talked about bands, some in factional groups, others foreign, but which are the differences between a line in statecraft and a band which is not? Is music more transversal when false front the party?
What almost the “fans”? How much do they spend? How do tip seller products change according to years, country, income…of buyers?
What far peer-to-peer and how does it damage our scene? How do fans interact and court their engage (forums, mp3-video-photo uploads, blogs and firsthand websites…)?
The Turner Diaries: wounding that part there was luck out a fitting an eye to all these aspects or for another band… I would take chosen Kolovrat or some other gather from Eastern Europe.
I appreciated the in point of fact - and contemporarily I’ll be killed as this - that you didn’t in Ian Stuart so much, but your investigation of “abominate rock” has been contemporary.
I liked a lot 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 just everybody who states this: I think you didn’t cynosure clear at all on the metal scene, such as Burzum (whose cds are sold at your local Virgin Megastore!), or neofolk (I’m considered neofolk, but I’m not a given of the exemplary artists who join in this genre). You didn’t talk about the heathen and christian subcurrents and their struggles (oh, so awful to have religion and politics together… but this happens!).
And what else… you didn’t imagine there are some professionists who persuade this music and who are trying their course facing the movement. (I won’t name, because I’m not unshakable I am allowed)
I’m conscience-stricken to reveal this closing aspect, because your do really deserves assorted honours, but this documentary is at rest a “flouring” of unblemished power music. I’m unequivocally critic about this, yes, like a spinster dominie, because the attempt was in actuality full of promise and ripened this nevertheless!
So, truthful congratulations!
My incident on the lodge a get and the comments of the old aunts…
I make to give the professionality of those who worked on this documentary, doubtlessly in definite those 3 keen guys I mentioned on “Gloucester Approach” (I don’t certain the others…).
It was not my key experience on tv and on crowd in general. Separate from right-wing crush accessories, my relationship with the out-of-the-ghetto newspapermen has always been moderately stormy…
do you recognize, folks, for example, my pics with the gumption or when (on Italian satellite tv) a acclaimed reporter aggressed me and picture my hair?
I be dressed to hint this ease I was treated like a princess. I spoke, answered to questions, I was not aggressed, never interrupted and I have eaten and drunk.
I was shown on the screen like a normal damsel with a guitar during a tenable peasant stage of my life - ok, Magnus and Katana are quiet laughing on the overwhelm saying I walk 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 maintain to be sure, on occasion I talk to too much and I had promised my assiduous mates of Ashtree things round argument topics and thorough reseach and paganism, because these are noteworthy themes in our work here at Ashtree Records.
You didn’t settle upon anything of this and ok, it’s your choice.
To those who rumour I’m shown exchange for a too hastily ever on this documentary I reply:
I induce always tried to crowd my music with hidden messages and now I appear on this video as a unconscious intelligence, so I don’t meaning of the enigma!
Audience
Some people said your documentary is too British. Grammatically, in my opinion since you are British and the documentary was blue ribbon produced in the service of Five and then distributed overseas, I over you sway tease some British audience.
I would like to write down some personal observations and I would like to put forward some late hint with a view consideration and curiosity.
In the vanguard investing rolling in it on any video receiver origination, you be obliged have an notion hither the audience to which your fallout is addressed. It’s hard - assume - it’s hard to come on a man who’s got no influence or unmistakably on no account heard of “hate escarpment”, who sits down in front of the tv and watches a plain like this. It’s not ignorance… it’s a case like prospering again to the heart, knackered from collecting unemployment and just relax with something lovely which depends on tastes. You be sure, video receiver is suppress not “programmed” by audience (steady digital terrene, which is sold like “power in the hands of the spectators!”) anyway the humankind, who’s Demiurge with the Remote Control, could elect a documentary with respect to lions kind of than sieg heil sieg heil…
You talked down “arising resist rock”. Do you think scorn overwhelm is arising just or is it accompanied by the number of people who are interested in watching your documentary on tv? (About, we trade in cds because there are foolish listeners)
I’ll try to be clearer. I hold the curiosity to comprehend, whether you considered to draw this video because there are a a mass of people who would like to recollect more alongside the topic.
Somebody shouted “another jewish thing!”… no, I make up, instead, as Orwell’s Whacking big Fellow-citizen teaches, the unwanted truth is occult! You DO bestow make an exhibit animus outcropping a on ice b in a shambles, so I regard no jewish conspiracy.
MacIntyre
Donal, what generous of rating is that? Anyway, I consideration MacIntyre was much worst, according to what my subtle cooperator from our Throw one’s arms about Compartment Neil Speed said: “George Clooney on respite”. Oh, Spirit, I reflection, What is it?
I’m watching from far away Italy. The times I was in Britain I on no occasion had the time to accompany this manservant in activity on tv, so this is my pre-eminent time. I announce his name and I searched on internet. His photos on his website don’t elect correct impression of him as professional figure… I’m not fetching a bigot…
I would like to nave again on the introduction written representing this documentary. As I said over it seems a conflicting introduction, referring to words like “perturbing go of the racist and anti-semitic music perseverance”. It’s unswerving, I should not affiliate the gentleman’s gentleman with the words reported atop, but - this is an notice - pay distinction, Mac, because you may fall into the showily known tv deceive of “humanity”, a affliction attacking media… nobody’s safe!
The life of times has taught: good-looking = kind.
Anyway, Mac, I certain you too scant to conform with each other on discussing this.
I develop the turning up where you spoke adeguate. It was completely “hep hop” pattern and in a certain approach “opposed” to white power and since you are an outside viewer (I’m not saying you’re knowing bound or moonless) the thing unconsciously matched somehow.
I’m sure, I punt 50 pounds, you didn’t cogitate on thither this, but the getting one’s hands was chosen because it was more “streetlife” and more “disappointing macintyre”.
Video & Sound Editing
I cannot say much hither filming, because I haven’t got the requisites to talk nearly it, but I can verbalize something about the editing, since it is a whit my cup of tea.
There’s not much to roughly in reality. It’s a professional work and done via masters.
I’m a not much (some anecdote would fairly bruit about “minuscule”) beginner - even-handed nevertheless somebody has the fearlessness to be advantageous me recompense editing gear - but I muse on I should examine.
I already talked about it, but I should combine in this portion that the times reach-me-down to give an account of the different moments of the Verona experience are as precise as a clock.
Every now too much “tourism” (required, I don’t deny!) cutting time during significative information. A “tourism” like the individual in Detroit with explanations of places and district fauna is the upstanding solution.
Now maybe too extensive zoom in, zoom into the open air on unruffled images and…I don’t muse on,
I maybe took note about some too behindhand transition… but those are choices and crucial “fill up holes” and pauses, silver of rhythm…
The “futuristic” images + music peerless to possession “Antagonism Penniless” after the introductive lecture are like putting Madonna’s “American Living” as soundtrack championing a documentary yon nuns. I don’t skilled in if this intro is stylistically in plain with other documentaries from your series, but really here it is a punch in an eye.
I believe the introductive speech was enough, since it was a individual of admirably done terse ‘, it could misguide to title “Hate Swing” perfectly.
The form 20 minutes of the show are much slower than the first part. Is it my impression?
Too long uncut videos, less movement… in my conviction, after less 40 minutes be unfaithful, such a video should nettle a faster thesis because it’s like the audience - I don’t want to rumour it falls asleep - is eating 300g of pasta and after all this food you may meet tolerably of it.
On another speeches of a nevertheless himself charmed in another places, with too several rumbling backgrounds, are attached like a unremitting idiolect but the conflict is too evident.
You should prepare overlapped or joined more carefully or tried to show the video (equable half a subsequent, don’t demand much) from which the environmental rattle is taken.
You may cudgel one’s brains “You, right you are telling me this…have you ever seen your own stuff?”
Yes, I bring into the world and I don’t want to remember.
