Brotherhood- For The Moment/ Ken McLellan Teams Up With Poland`s Invasion

Ken McLellan will be entering the studio next month to do vocals for a project band he is working on with Polish band- Invasion. The cd is then due out at the end of March on Strong Survive Records. It is titled Brotherhood- For The Moment. Below is a previous interview with Invasion originally posted at Okop Zine. The interview is translated from Polish so a bit of it came out choppy. Nevertheless you can get the most of it. Until now I have been unfamiliar with the music of Invasion but from reading the interview it seems to be done in a classical manner. I will definitely be looking more into this band

The Invasion (interview)

Is called a man of the orchestra and they are right. This year a very successful debut album, and now recorded a joint project with Ken from BA! Slightly below the earlier conversation with this gentleman! 1. Welcome! Present as well but yield history of the group. Czołem! Forehead! Draft Invasion consists of 1 person that is me. A fun started when I found that all the ideas for pieces that regularly forget, I could record. I always had the power of ideas, so as to rozleciał Husarz in which I played bass, filled the pieces. Recently stated that the end of playing time in a drawer and pull it into the daylight. Records all the instruments alone, because I was not able to complete the composition in which I play. How to do something, it is solid and how to do everything yourself at least know to whom claims to have when you go out sneezes. heheh heheh 2. Cuba pogrywałeś his time in Husarzu, what happened to this team. Why is broke and what happens with the other musicians? Overall, I do not know why this band broke up. There was a strange situation, it simply stopped playing the sample, and so already, perhaps 2 years. Husarz guitarist now plays in The Gits, vocalist drinks vodka and a awanturuje at night, and the drummer was not the "climate" and in principle I do not know what was happening to him. The last time I saw him at the last concert Husarz. All the time it comes on my mind Husarz record numbers so as to finish work on the material Invasion is probably as this will take. 3. So far udostępniliście recorded two songs in the style of Skrewdriver and the Celtic Warrior. Why just those playing in the era of the popular metal scene? Apropo this last band we can say that we have a Polish Billy! Comparison with Billim and CW is a great compliment for me, but I think it is a bit of overstatement, I did not enable them to heel grows. Why classical RAC? Because I like to listen to most. All day play Hatecore and metal, and I was totally not moving. Crop itself or to listen to Brutal Attack Skullhead. An acquaintance put it perfectly: one prehistoric RAC band from England beats on his head the whole hardcore! 4. What is the theme of your text, and why not in your native language? The texts are in English, because firstly it easier for me in August invent this language and, secondly, I think English better suited to such a play. The lyrics are about what comes to mind to me when I finish a piece of record and must at last something to sing. Overall, it hehe: racism, fascism, sexism, homophobia. In short, 88% of punkrock! 5. Musical Influences: Old school UK Rac-on, especially Brutal Attack, my "najulubieńsza" band. 6. Are you guys got any suggestions already publishing? Not yet, but how to finish recording all the material it will think that this further, as will be someone who will be interested in, then great, if not, I will give it his own expense. 7. What about the concert? Can you play? Currently I am alone so would be hard. For the ballads do not like hehe. We'll see, I've already got an eye on a few guests who could potentially play so we'll see. 8. Cuba from what I know, you're a music mixing Osttanio worked on Right simple. This is your hobby, or rather professional job? Definitely a hobby. How I started to play the recording that I wondered why it all sounds so chujowo. Million articles in the Internet and countless hours spent in forums for the performers sound and still do not know. hehe hehe The PP was so that I hit to Steve's and I could not have evidence that I had something to do over the weekend. Posiedziałem on this Chłopacy few hours and were so pleased that wyjebane old version and replaced it with my miksami. As someone has something to mix it hit me, happy to help. 9. Future plans for the team: Far to record 10 tracks for the album. Then sell one billion copies and earn Fure hajsu and never go to work. 10. Thanks for the word, last word is yours: Thanks for your interest!

INTERVIEW: Tormentia

Use at Uprise Direct, courtesy of GWD AND HATE SPEECH MUSIC MAGAZINE Check out the band's music HERE

At the beginning the most typical question: a few words about yourself.
Hello, we are Tormentia band, come from the lesser Poland
and play together for a year.

Tormentia is only a project or plan to perform live?
Tormentia is a project so far, but out of necessity. We did
not want to wait to complete the band before album's release. However,
if we do succeed in band completing, for sure we will play concerts.

Just released a sensational debut CD, are you fully satisfied with the result obtained?
Thanks. Yes, I think that as in domestic conditions it is
possible to listen to this. We recorded the whole CD on our own, so we
are responsible for the final result. As for cooperation with the
publisher we are also one hundred percent satisfied.

Why on the debut CD went so much Honor's covers? Does this band have a particular impact on Tormentia creativity?
Maybe not so much on what we create but on ourselves. I
must to admit that somehow it helped us to complete the record and
finally make debut, but we did it only once and we will not duplicate
that.

Your song "Westerplatte Soldier” deals with the determination and heroism, Polish soldiers determination in the fight against the Nazi invaders, as in the context of this, how do you relate to abuse the Polish NS Nazi symbolism?
That's a fact, some people abuse the symbols but it’s their
private business. But we believe that Hitler is for us neither hero
nor model.

Your music is very "metallized", why exactly this way? Isn’t the traditional oi! / rac sound attractive to you?
In this music we feel the best. We like to listen to
different styles, but prefer to play what you hear on our record and
we will follow this path in the near future.

Your attitude to religion? this is another reason for the divisions on the stage, in the current political and social situation is it so important problem?
Religion is a difficult subject. How many people so many
opinions on this subject. We are not Catholics, but we aren’t showing
anti-Catholicism either. We try not to mix too much religion into our
music. There are to many important problems to create some more.

What about the activity in your area, recently held in several gigs, beyond you is there any other band?
Honestly, I have no idea if there is any. As for the
situation in our region, I think that it does not differ much from the
rest of the country.

How do you assess recently "promoted" autonomous nationalists movement and the attitude of "straight edge", “left side” remade symbols, image, etc.? We take these environments positively.

When can we expect new material?
We are at the stage of creating new material. At present we
already have several begun songs, and one will soon appear on the
network. It will be a specific song, but I don’t want to reveal
nothing more at the moment. I think that perhaps you will hear a new
Tormentia album in the spring.

The last word belongs to you
In that case, thanks for the interview and good luck in
what you are doing!

We are looking forward to new Tormentia album. We wish you good luck guys and congratulations on great debut! Thanks!

Galician White Devils crew and editorial the Hate Speech - music magazine. Interview with Tormentia will be also printed in the third issue of HATE SPEECH – coming soon! Translated by E.

NEW: Burzum - Den Hvite Guden

Burzum will release a new album, Den Hvite Guden (The White God), in March/April 2010. Artist Varg Vikernes describes the album as "a musical and lyrical description of the the White God (alias Apollon, Baldr, Belenus, Belus, Bragi, Byelobog, Jarilo, et cetera) and the annual events of his life."

"It is not intended for play the "low-brow metal" style, but instead I imagine a listener willing to sit down, ideally in solitude, and think for a minute, about the White God and our forebears, whether they were Picto-British, Finnish, Gallic, Greek, Roman, Scandinavian, Scytho-Slavic, Daco-Thrakian or whatever, and about their magnificent, intelligent, positive, beautiful, healthy and strong culture."

A Moment To Share Gratitude

Here at Uprise Direct we have fallen victim to the effects of being quite busy, and as a result the blog, and ultimately our fans, have suffered. Myself and Rick from Label 56 are still finalizing the radio show, as we hope to record our pilot episode in the very near future. The idea of the show has many people excited as we have already begun receiving previously unreleased clips and tracks from artists exclusively for the radio show.

Uprise Direct has become a launching point for many individuals to start their own music scene blog in their own countries, as well as giving international bands a place to look to for promotion. We only hope that the success we have had can continue forward uninhibited.

With that being said we are still looking for people to contribute. With the prospective radio show we will also possibly be looking for an individual to edit audio and and assist in the final production. We are also looking for a weekly editorial writer, if you can in English, and are interested in sharing your opinions please contact us.

So in conclusion, thank you to everyone who has made this blog as successful as it is. Without the labels, the bands, and most importantly the fans, we would not be here.

No Prisoner, Rembarre, Climate of Terror

Since I had not made any new news posts in awhile, I was able find 3 new bands that are worth checking out:

No Prisoner: Italian old school hardcore. from the sample tune on the band's Myspace it's easy to tell these guys have some great energy. Unlike some of the other Italian HC bands this has a lighter cleaner aspect. I look forward to the release out TODAY on Black Shirt records. Check out the band HERE.Rembarre: Solid fast paced RAC from France. With clean verses and the excellent use of gang vocals on the choruses as executed superbly in "100% Identité," there is some soon to be sing-a-longs from this release. All the songs are made available officially by the band HERE.

Climate of Terror: From Ireland, yes I said Ireland, typically a place not known for its thriving HC movement comes CoT. This is slower paced hard hitting hardcore with similar paced almost grind sounding vocals to match. Fans of Absolute Terror and Pure Hate should check them out, HERE....On a side note this particular band looks to be a side project of some power electronic/noise and martial/ambient outfits Area Bombardment and Measure of Contempt.

Pure Hate's new CD

From Poland, the newest album by Pure Hate is out now on Unholy Melodies Productions. The band's third full length release has been anticipated as the promotional release of a music video featuring the title track has been around the internet for several months. The video features some pretty impressive guitar work but lacks some originality in lyrics, I hope this is no sign of what the album holds; yet I look forward to getting a copy soon.

The Esoteric Aesthetic of the NS Noise/PE Movement

The Esoteric Aesthetic of the NS Noise/PE Movement
An Article By Angus Wallace O’Leary
a.w.o.l.t.patriot@gmail.com
Copyright 2009

While not as well known as RAC, Oi, or other well known styles of music within the NS scene, the Noise/PE movement has been around just as long, lurking in the shadows, accessible to those brave few who dare search for it.
The undertaking of even trying to create any semblance of a discography is futile, since most releases are extremely limited editions (I’ve even found albums that were numbered up to 88 copies worldwide!), bands breakup and reform into other groups before they record more than a few tracks, and some outfits have no releases anyone can find, simply a word of mouth reputation about a live show that may or may not have actually taken place. For all of these reasons, and a few dozen more, tracking down albums becomes a labor, reviled by most who just want to order a CD from a label or distributor and be done with it. This is the real foundation of the hidden world that makes up this movement.
This is a soundtrack of frenzied Armageddon, ritualized bloodletting, outright confrontation and intense violence that leaves the listener in a rage fueled fury. Lyrics, if there are any, are usually a chant or spoken word layered on top of excruciating sounds that issues forth from the speakers like bullets from a gun. Most are so minimalist they aren’t even really there at all, tracks almost subliminal, producing a tonal quality that lulls the listener into a kind of fugue state of sharp auditory annihilation that suggests aggressive upheaval.
The participants utilize imagery on album liners to express politics, religion or other subjects. You glean what you can from the photos provided while the resonance rips into your brain. This is not to say that this is some chaotic movement, instead it’s a carefully crafted controlled anarchic glimpse of just what it will take to destroy the old order. Rarely are interviews granted, since the perpetrators, for the most part, wish to remain anonymous. The soundscapes created speak for themselves and they call for war!
Most will hear tracks that can literally destroy speakers and run screaming, never giving the slightest chance to what secrets the disc might hold. Which is fine since this is elite music created, and listened to, by a certain segment of Stormtroopers. But unlike instrument-based acts that require you to know how to play, just about anyone can create their own band, a splinter cell of lone wolves furthering agendas. Thus begins the fire and ice dichotomy, taking cold listeners and heating them to the boiling point, only to release them to heat others.
Below is a list of a few bands that I feel are a starting point for new initiates. This is just a crash course, since there are new acts popping up everyday, and old acts resurfacing for another strike. While most are so out of print it’s funny to even think you could track down an actual copy, you would be surprised how easy it is to track down copies in this Internet world.

NON-probably the “Godfather” of noise, Boyd Rice has made it a habit of pissing people off while creating a Teutonic vision of strength. Easy Listening For Iron Youth got me started years ago, but his Live In Osaka performance from the late 80’s is a sight to behold. Half concert, half political rally this is how it’s done. Features Michael Moynihan of Blood Axis (while not exactly a noise band, Blood Axis is without doubt one of the single most moving soundworks).

Genocide Lolita-With tracks like Settling Scores, Starting Wars and Survival Is Not Enough (We Want Revenge), this is exactly what I’ve been talking about. Justin Ordnung has taken the torch and burned NS noise into the brains of all who listen.

Deathkey-Anything you can find by these guys is going to blow you away. The Hammer Of Aryan Terror album is outstanding.

Sturmfuhrer-I listen to this group a lot. While some of their works are totally vicious, others are very minimalist. Try the Ich Kampfe album, as it is a great introduction to this powerhouse.

Organized Resistance-Day Of The Rope! This is a concept album of sorts based on The Turner Diaries.

Streicher-Australian act who are just plain brutal and hateful.

Genocide Organ-The SOS album!

Control Resistance- Crush Automated Extermination (ZyklonBMixture) taken from the Men Among Mice comp makes you want to stomp things!

Robert X. Patriot-Another of my personal favorites. Very hard to track down, but so worth it!

As I stated above this is simply a handful of artists in a genre that is increasing exponentially. If you look around hard enough, you’ll find tons of new acts nobody else has come across yet, or better yet, start your own project…NSDIY!

Lack of Activity

First off, I would like to apologize to all of our faithful readers who continue to check in daily to see about updates. Regretfully we have been extraordinarily busy which has not lent itself to the best productivity here at Uprise Direct.

With the number of readers at this blog, we sadly did not receive a mentionable fraction in response to the help wanted post awhile back. This is considerably disappointing considering we were averaging approximately 1,000 viewers a day.

On a more exciting note, Rick 56 and I have been working on a project that he and I have been discussing for several months now and it looks to be coming into fruition. Together Rick and I hope to bring our blogs and their information into a bi-weekly podcast. The goal is to take the news and information that everyone loves reading here and making it mobile. We have approached several larger Nationalist internet radio stations about airing our show, and many have responded with interest.

We look forward to making this great leap forward in providing the scene with great music news. Again I apologize for the lack of updates here, but hopefully this will offset some of the down time
