magiccarpet posted:Sound at Cold Waves was pretty poo poo I thought and they forgot to set up a mic for the singer of The Black Queen which pretty much hosed them up for their whole set. It was bad at Gramercy if you were near the walls but I thought the sound at Irving Plaza was pretty good. It was hit or miss last year when FLA, RevCo and Cubanate played at Gramercy too. We stood towards the middle during FLA and it was fine.

PIG kicked rear end as usual. Watts was also using a handheld stage light and aiming it at the crowd like a dictator, and aimed it right at me as I prayed to the Lord of Lard while wearing my PIG hat.

Killing Joke... is great. Jaz just declared the Granada Theater an autonomous zone and is asking the crowd to write letters to a fan's cancer-stricken father.

I thought Rome's shtick was being the "sort of lefty" neo-folk band, but I guess he's had a change of heart.quote:ROME also show a side of dark folk which, due to its seductive straightforwardness, showcases a new and surprising element as well.

Mick Mercer posted:Regardless of individual artists, neo-folk is now so riddled with Nazi undertones it must not be allowed to slip by unchallenged. (Personally, I have a strict editing policy; send me neo-folk records and they go in the bin.) Genuine artists in the neo scene can move sideways into other scenes and be seen to be blameless. The rest can rot.

I kind of doubt it, but it would be nice. In an interview in 2016 he was asked about being seen as left wing even though he professes his music to be apolitical, and his answers seemed noncommittal for someone who says he shuns ambiguity: quote:I understand that Rome specifically isn’t meant to express a specific political narrative, and indeed your complete avoidance of that mindset has been a crucial part of Rome’s identity for many fans. Still, you’ve managed to—as an individual—gather a bit of a reputation as being left-leaning, which itself is a “breath of fresh air” for many people who have found your work through the chasms of neofolk music. Do you take any pride in your ability to project that sort of stature? Or, perhaps, does it bother you that fans are applying a political image to you that you haven’t outspokenly professed on your own? Maybe that's a commercial strategy and now that alt-right art has gotten some real money behind it he is looking to make that his thing? In an interview about the new single or whatever it seemed like the interviewer was trying to get at something sort of related: quote:I’m also a long term Morrissey fan. He’s suffering from a bit of a backlash these days, from media and certain factions of his fan base, because of him expressing support for alt-right party For Britain. Where do you stand on all of this? Does it serve him right or should we separate the artist from the person? Maybe he's being coy, but with a shirt like that he really should explain himself. He is not Laibach. thotsky fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Sep 18, 2018 |

I mean it's extremely obvious that he's a radical right-winger. Regardless of how anyone feels about playing around with imagery and symbols, the "West is Best" thing is just a straight up white supremacist slogan. Even if that was out of the picture, it's a huge red flag when someone is asked "Why do you associate with the far right" and their answer is an aggrieved rant about free speech and having a right to their opinion, without being willing to actually discuss ideas.

its kind of weird to say that nazism only crept into neofolk recently when its been there since the very beginning from the bands that founded it. like all those early DIJ and sol invictus records have references to evola and stuff, it's not subtle

# ? Sep 19, 2018 01:22 |

I'm not saying that. If anything, developments in the past few years have made it easier to figure out stuff like "But Douglas Pearce is gay, how could he be a Nazi?" although five minutes of reading would acquaint people who say that with Ernst Rohm.

Looks like Storming the Base is shutting down their webstore (but continuing on bandcamp). I know I'm a crazy retro throwback for still buying CDs but really not sure where else to get them from now (in the UK, anyhow). InfraRot ship via lovely couriers last I checked, and only the most popular stuff turns up on Amazon.

I have absolutely no idea what to expect with this - Scott Fox from Ivardensphere is releasing an "aural telling" of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner https://ant-zen.bandcamp.com/album/the-rime-of-the-ancient-mariner I imagine it'll be better than Iron Maiden's version, much as I love Maiden.

New VNV song is... alright. It's not amazing, but it's also a lot better than I was expecting. https://www.facebook.com/VNVNation/videos/1744083302380259/ You're still probably better off listening to Assemblage 23 or Xenturion Prime if you want genuinely good futurepop though (assuming that's still what anyone calls this stuff). The new Mlada Fronta album "No Trespassing" is absolutely great horror-themed synthwave, if that's your thing. Still slightly surprised that Mlada Fronta went in a synthwave direction with Outrun and has stuck to it, but he seems pretty drat good at it so I'm ok with that.

Speaking of horror synthwave, the most recent Gost album, Possessor, is a huge step up from his previous work, incorporating a lot more samples, some black metal, and the track "Sigil" has this weird kind of synth-goth feel that's is swear I've heard before but I can't think what bands sounds like that. I'm completely taken with it.
