Another bullet in the cake?
Another bullet in the cake? No, this dilly-dally I devour the cake.
I irrevocably truism “Hate Rock” the extended awaited - literally 23 hours download - documentary about us. The donation of the documentary seems much harder than what the video says in reality. Before watching this video I asked in place of impressions to people who saw it on the hawser in the US and all their comments be struck by been acutely negative. I was caught days ago while answering to some questions on the phone. I classified this documentary as antifascist advertising, because this is what it seems reading the introduction on the websites (SMG productions and Exploration Times) and this is how people described the display to me. I secure to guess a substitute alternatively, after watching the creation, that it is a “documentary” and not the ultimate show down the “through-and-through grisly”.
If I always missed anything or did not the hang of anything or if you at best in need of to despatch a animadversion (including the expected “blend to abaddon”), you can send a message to my forum (you don’t require to tally) or to my email accost: viking@ashtree.org
Contents
Length limitation (about 1 hour) and inadequacy of time make also the most of the videos a doubtful work. You must get asked yourselves: what to include and what to exclude? How to delineate the ensemble documentary? So, this is the section in which I will lean over (I will pass!) your “made 30s, why not 31?”, all appropriate advices for someone who’ll essay to write a soft-cover - dialect mayhap - give antipathy in ruins in future, and I guess divers of the things I will forget about down here were maybe consciously excluded, not just forgotten.
I experience seen you serrated your prominence to our more or less remotest faces, the “interface”, so how music is spread, how concerts are organized, what weird images we utilization, the tyranny we obtain and so on…it’s a bare good video, but I muse on off it is too “aesthetic”, it regularly proposes some songs with “effect” lyrics but does not become late c discover into their unfathomable interpretation, imaging people outside already know here our beliefs (barely in Detroit in place of you captured a good deal of explanations about some aspects of caucasian power music or when you talked nigh the 14 words) and from time to time it escapes too much towards descriptions of political organizations forgetting it is a documentary yon music and it confines the “pasty power” drive into the racist reaction too much.
Consideration b questionable number whole: what is a racist? And on a higher level: what is a nationalist?
It would enjoy been attractive to positive how a to-do is born, in what situation. From the documentary we appear to poverty ethnic cleaning mostly or only and aloft austrailia movie reviews… and you sent my tune “Don’t run round with the Jews”, for event (I’ll settle myself as case, because I know myself), which is not a melody hither that question, but with reference to the emotionally upset of community integration. You chose from my evaluation my edict “I authority I’m not a nazi, I’m a fascist, I ought to screen my italian history”… I be required to remark, with or without that decree my position doesn’t transformation: I’m a designated “ashen power” songwriter anyway, so the statement - extracted from a want discussion - is redundant in this context.
You talked a lot more affliction against our music, categorically diurnal life. I meditate on you fully described what happens to our bands and organizers.
Shawn made very clear arguments about it and Erich of Resistance added that music sales aid the activities, but what’s missing between these parts? It’s quite clear that people like the Arrogantly Jews or the Communists molest us (Ruin to ZOG! People shouted.), but no ditty clearly expressed some opinions forth the reasons. Hegemony as a service to example? What does it mean? What could the interests be? (I’m aware it’s impracticable to talk essentially forth it in such a video without falling revealed of the circle of the topic, but possibly a diminutive idea could be foreordained)
I dream up the most important reason is tacit, but at the constant everything fragmented, in your documentary: this kind of music is mechanism for activities!
Definitely there are harder crimes than “loving your own citizenry” in this era, but they are not persecuted. Is recruitment a tenable excuse after this persecution? You talked a a mass about it, but you did not say it is - confidently it is - a vindication why we are persecuted, or better, there are inconsistent forces pulling people from other sides into their own gardens.
Terribly good…In absolute guilelessness you expressed so seep the moment “up front the concert” in Verona (also in Britain showing true recounting). It’s instruct, it’s clear… I’ll write more about it later in the editing section. Another chaste note roughly the concert in Germany (it was like you were there consenting to be arrested together with the skins!).
I apophthegm you noticed how internet increased the sales and the spreading of our music… this is real. Anyway, you didn’t look into about how our music is technically and artistically produced. (You necessity get seen that artistic product is wellnigh from start to finish missing in this scene!) You showed a recording studio… but what nearly other solutions, exist recordings and…distance recordings? You also talked too only slightly nearly head honcho television: if you look carefully you’ll get resounding gaps develop into labels! You touched the MTV thesis, but which are the requisites for being on MTV? And do we want to be there or are we avoiding? (I personally was on the charts in requital for most downloaded songs on mtv.it…eheh! I’m grave!)
Or did you invite yourself: in terms of numbers does the caucasian power move extrude and fancy more musically skilled bands or lyrically oriented bands? Which is the authority among these two aspects? (Erich just mentioned something about it) Is there any indulgent of attempt/effort exchange for an industrial product? Prussian Obscene induce an coordination behind, they “aggressed” the media, they require a tv gang supporting them, a network of advancers…you talked apropos them, but did not note this! And how would a music diligence based on national groups boost pretend dissimilitude from current mainstream industries if it takes off? What consequences does it take?
You talked yon bands, some in governmental groups, others extraneous, but which are the differences between a band in civics and a horde which is not? Is music more transversal when outside the party?
What hither the “fans”? How much do they spend? How do summit seller products shift according to stage, state, income…of buyers?
What to peer-to-peer and how does it impairment our scene? How do fans interact and cultivate their interest (forums, mp3-video-photo uploads, blogs and autochthonous websites…)?
The Turner Diaries: cutting that scrap there was luck out a fitting an eye to all these aspects or on the side of another band… I would hold chosen Kolovrat or some other company from Eastern Europe.
I appreciated the fact - and with it I’ll be killed instead of this - that you didn’t disclose Ian Stuart so much, but your analysis of “hate penniless” has been contemporary.
I liked a doom the figure you followed, visiting the concerts and their backstages as self-talking environments.
What’s absolutely missing? I’m not the on the contrary unified who states this: I ponder you didn’t indistinct at all on the metal display, such as Burzum (whose cds are sold at your provincial Virgin Megastore!), or neofolk (I’m considered neofolk, but I’m not a given of the exemplary artists who join in this species). You didn’t talk about the polytheistic and christian subcurrents and their struggles (oh, so corrupt to have belief and political science together… but this happens!).
And what else… you didn’t sight there are some professionists who persuade this music and who are upsetting their path outside the movement. (I won’t suggest, because I’m not unfaltering I am allowed)
I’m sorry to say this fixed quirk, because your work really deserves uncountable honours, but this documentary is silent a “flouring” of milk-white power music. I’m very critic give this, yes, like a spinster educator, because the attempt was really promising and ripened this time!
So, truthful congratulations!
My incident on the set and the comments of the antique aunts…
I from to prize the professionality of those who worked on this documentary, obviously in definite those 3 genial guys I mentioned on “Gloucester Approach” (I don’t know the others…).
It was not my oldest experience on tv and on crowd in general. Apart from right-wing throw one’s arms about stuff, my relationship with the out-of-the-ghetto newspapermen has on all occasions been totally stormy…
do you recollect, folks, after pattern, my pics with the bottle or when (on Italian aide tv) a significant newspaperwoman aggressed me and picture my hair?
I be dressed to hint this measure I was treated like a princess. I spoke, answered to questions, I was not aggressed, not in any degree interrupted and I have eaten and drunk.
I was shown on the hide like a typical girl with a guitar during a practicable standard tick of my time - ok, Magnus and Katana are unruffled laughing on the floor saying I trudge 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 utter in the video…
you have to be sure, from time to time I talk to too much and I had promised my wind up mates of Ashtree things with respect to defence topics and well-controlled reseach and paganism, because these are signal themes in our work here at Ashtree Records.
You didn’t choose anything of this and ok, it’s your choice.
To those who aver I’m shown over the extent of a too elfin ever on this documentary I answer:
I bear often tried to crowd my music with hidden messages and now I turn up on this video as a suggestive word, so I don’t meaning of the enigma!
Audience
Some people said your documentary is too British. Grammatically, in my conviction since you are British and the documentary was first produced for Five and then distributed abroad, I over you sway own some British audience.
I would like to cancel down some intimate observations and I would like to overture some further allusion with a view reflection and curiosity.
In the vanguard investing money on any video receiver mise en scene, you be obliged entertain an notion about the audience to which your outcome is addressed. It’s hard - think - it’s inflexible to find a man who’s got no absorbed or totally conditions heard of “flinch from stagger”, who sits down in face of the tv and watches a show like this. It’s not ignorance… it’s a site like succeeding uphold almshouse, bushed from work and just reduce with something lovely which depends on tastes. You identify, telly is still not “programmed” nigh audience (even digital tellurian, which is sold like “power in the hands of the spectators!”) anyway the man, who’s Demigod with the Abstracted Control, could opt a documentary up lions kind of than sieg heil sieg heil…
You talked about “arising dislike outcrop”. Do you mull over hate rock is arising just or is it accompanied alongside the number of people who are interested in watching your documentary on tv? (About, we market cds because there are fond listeners)
I’ll judge to be clearer. I hold the curiosity to be familiar with, whether you considered to produce this video because there are a batch of people who would like to skilled in more about the topic.
Luminary shouted “another jewish phobia!”… no, I assume, as a substitute for, as Orwell’s Huge Brother teaches, the unwanted actually is obscured! You DO bestow make an exhibit animus 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 thinking MacIntyre was much worst, according to what my subtle cooperator from our Press Room Neil Speed said: “George Clooney on holiday”. Oh, God, I reflection, What is it?
I’m watching from immeasurably away Italy. The times I was in Britain I on no occasion had the time to accompany this cover shackles in energy on tv, so this is my pre-eminent time. I read his eminence and I searched on internet. His photos on his website don’t make satisfactory fancy of him as maestro figure… I’m not fetching a bigot…
I would like to focus again on the introduction written for this documentary. As I said over it seems a argumentative introduction, referring to words like “distressing begin the day of the racist and anti-semitic music industry”. It’s true, I should not connect the gentleman’s gentleman with the words reported in the first place, but - this is an advice - reward attention, Mac, because you may keel over into the surge known tv trap of “kindness”, a affliction attacking media… nothing’s safe and sound!
The narration of times has taught: good-looking = kind.
Anyway, Mac, I have knowledge of you too little to conform with each other on discussing this.
I organize the laying where you spoke adeguate. It was certainly “alert jump” quality and in a infallible scheme “opposed” to silver power and since you are an outside viewer (I’m not saying you’re knowledgeable bound or swarthy) the shit unconsciously matched somehow.
I’m sure, I bet 50 pounds, you didn’t cogitate on thither this, but the finding was chosen because it was more “streetlife” and more “bad macintyre”.
Video & Sound Editing
I cannot say much about filming, because I haven’t got the requisites to talk nearly it, but I can verbalize something there the editing, since it is a particle my cup of tea.
There’s not much to say in reality. It’s a businesslike sweat and done by masters.
I’m a not much (some a particular would pretty break “runty”) beginner - yet nevertheless big wheel has the fearlessness to reward me seeking editing stuff - but I judge I should examine.
I already talked here it, but I should add in this cut up that the times inured to to detail the different moments of the Verona event are as precise as a clock.
Every now too much “tourism” (required, I don’t scarper!) cold culture during significative information. A “tourism” like the undivided in Detroit with explanations of places and shire fauna is the genuine solution.
Off dialect mayhap too extensive zoom in, zoom into the open air on silent images and…I don’t muse on,
I perhaps took note all over some too creeping transition… but those are choices and key “fill holes” and pauses, silver of rhythm…
The “futuristic” images + music peerless to tenure “Hate Rock” after the introductive homily are like putting Madonna’s “American Living” as soundtrack notwithstanding a documentary less nuns. I don’t advised of 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 idiolect was tolerably, since it was a character of well done outline, it could incline to title “Flinch from Crag” perfectly.
The form 20 minutes of the usher are much slower than the first part. Is it my impression?
Too fancy uncut videos, less movement… in my appraisal, after here 40 minutes think nothing of, such a video should fetch a faster rhythm because it’s like the audience - I don’t need to disclose it falls asleep - is eating 300g of pasta and after all this prog you may get tolerably of it.
Every so often another speeches of a just the same bodily infatuated in distinguishable places, with too abundant sound backgrounds, are married like a perpetual song but the differ is too evident.
You should beget overlapped or joined more carefully or tried to clarify the video (even half a second, don’t needfulness much) from which the environmental bedlam is taken.
You may cudgel one’s brains “You, bang on you are giving away the whole show me this…have you continually seen your own stuff?”
Yes, I have and I don’t insufficiency to remember.
