I hate to be blase about it but that's the way it is. I like Aesop's approach which, as far as I can tell, is basically fuck politics, let's rock. That works for me.DoomUnicornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358377625444315586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-9785299032625067422011-12-22T18:38:39.521-08:002011-12-22T18:38:39.521-08:00i duno im not that invested in the gossip but i re...i duno im not that invested in the gossip but i read this which kinda seems like hiding your influences:<br /><br />"And their singer, Craig Pillard, had a side-project called Stormfuhrer and if you click his name back there, the link is to an interview where he talks about the greatness of Hitler and the wickedness of the Jews. The album, by my understanding — I opted not to listen to it! — features a bunch of samples from speeches by Nazi leaders, and the CD is definitely decked out in swastikas.<br /><br />But wait, you say, that interview is from 2002, and he changed the name of Stormfuhrer to Methadrone a few years ago! And while it is true that people are capable of having deeply troubling pasts, while also changing and becoming good people, there’s no evidence that Pillard has done so, aside from the fact that he’s playing in a non-Nazi band right now that made a good record.<br /><br />But he did re-issue the Stormfuhrer record last summer, and — in an absurdly cowardly gesture — opted to keep his name off of it on the Internet, while putting his name literally on it by signing each copy by hand. Not, typically, the move of someone who is ashamed of his Nazi past.<br /><br />Instead, it’s the move of someone who is flirting with mainstream success who doesn’t want to jeopardize it, but who also declined to be interviewed about his background for the CultureMap story, and who clearly is proud enough of his Nazi past that he’ll sign his Nazi record."Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362489729091128992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-13777923119580326802011-12-22T17:28:31.745-08:002011-12-22T17:28:31.745-08:00Disma doesn't exactly hide their influences, d...Disma doesn't exactly hide their influences, do they?

I saw them in the shittiest backwoods venue, they played in front of like 15 people, played every song from omnivium, and a few oldies too. then hung around took pictures with everybody!(even though you could tell they struggled with English) they were so excited to be in america on tour. which is the whole point of music to me, the badassness of the music transcends culture and language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-35988291591571271292011-12-22T10:42:05.811-08:002011-12-22T10:42:05.811-08:00aside from the guitar tone, does Disma really coun...aside from the guitar tone, does Disma really count as Swedish death metal worship?
