The Simple Men Interview

Presented here is a brand new interview with the founder of The Simple Men. I specifically wanted to do this interview because the debut cd Voice Of Freedom is an amazing cd and I don`t think it has gotten the attention it deserves. So now here is our interview with The Simple Men

1. Hello and thank you for this interview. Can you give everyone a quick background into the Simple Men and if band members are in other bands?

Hail. I introduce myself briefly and the band. My name is Kr0ne. I am the founder of The Simple Men. The band consists of only one person and that's me. The background of the band lies in the fact that I want to support the movement with music and would like to further carry our message to many people.

2. Why did you decide to form the band?

I started the band, because I like already said- I would like to support the movement with music. I take nothing from this band. All the money raised goes to the label for national projects.

3. Your cd Voice Of Freedom is your debut release and it is an excellent cd. Most songs are great compositions that last over 5 minutes and each song has a different style of music. Some songs are grind and some are symphonic metal. Can you tell us the influence for the music and who writes the music?

All songs are well over 5 minutes. There I tried to let all my thoughts run wild. I write the songs themselves. It was supposed to National Socialist death metal but it came out different. Therefore, many songs have symphonic metal.

4. Looking at the wide range of music you write in, I have to ask what kinds of music do you listen to and who are some of your favorite bands?

Actually, I listen only RAC, Hatecore or good old German folk music. My favorite band is Moshpit. They have inspired me to make my own music.

5. Where do you take the inspiration for your lyrics?

The lyrics are based a part of my life and a part in the future. I try to sing as much as possible about the freedom of our people. And about the bad system and the bad politicians conducting all this. Mainly I sing for freedom.

6. I have seen you have a new cd coming out soon. Can you tell us more about that?

Yes. My new CD will be released in April. There will be 12 songs. And this time also with lyrics. The album will be just like the last album with several songs that will go over 5 minutes. It will be even longer than the other with a running time of just 90 minutes. I hope this time it goes down well with the people. 

7. Thank you for the interview. Please say any closing words

I have to thank you for the interview. My greeting goes to all the comrades in the world. Fight for your freedom. Fight together for your freedom. Do not get it taken from by the system! One day we will win! Our time will come. Greetings from West Germany to you!

Interview With Spanish NSHC Band Pugilato

It`s been awhile since we have done an interview here at Uprise Direct so what better way to pick it back up then with the killer new NSHC band Pugilato and an amazing one man symphonic death / grind project titled The Simple Men? We will be posting the Simple Men interview soon, but for today here is Pugilato!

1. Hello, please introduce the band and what kind of music you play?

At first I give you thanks for this interview. We started the project at the end of 2014, Alberto (Lead vocal and guitar) and Juajo (drummer) were always thinking about doing a NSHC project. Finally we decided on a name and started practicing.
Pugitalo was born.

2. Are you guys new musicians or do you come from other bands?

All members come from other groups. Alberto has played in bands like Rienzi and Más Que Palabras. Juanjo and Iggy played in a band called Berserkers, as well as a NSBM group.

3. You have some music online as a promo for your upcoming cd. Tell us your inspiration for creating NSHC music

We didn`t expect to have this great of a result, nor thought the people would like it so much, but for us, NSHC is a good way to send our message to the people to open their eyes and realize the reality around them. We have chosen this aggressive music because we like it and believe it is the best response to trash the system offers. We like bands like Hatebreed, H8machine, X.x.X., Green Arrows, Worst...

4. Your debut video is very well done and the music is great. You have also said the song is against Pitbull fighting and that you work in a rescue for the dogs. That is a great thing. Please say more about that.

Yes, that’s right. the song is about those who abuse Pitbulls, force them to fight and  leave them. Band members collaborate with various associations for the protection of animals and especially with an association dedicated to rescuing pitbulls and offering them for adoption. Very few bands have written songs on this subject, so we decided that the first song had to deal with this issue.

5. What other kind of lyrics do you focus on?

Our lyrics mainly denounce all the evils we suffer today, Zionism, race mixing, degeneration, capitalism, pedophilia, corruption, alien invasion ... Etc. We intend that our lyrics are very elaborate and that`s why we take so much care when we compose, so that one can hear and even notice things.
 
6. I must also ask about the music scene in Spain. It was once fairly big with bands like Estirpe Imperial, Batalon De Castigo and more. I have not heard too much lately about new music. Can you tell us what is current in Spain and is NSHC getting bigger?

It is true that we had a very strong scene and was known for years. You have mentioned Batallón de Castigo, we are fortunate to live very close to the singer and share with him a good friendship. The scene now is rather poor due to the massive repression. The government is creating laws against "hate" and includes in those laws everything related to NS, Holocaust review, distribution of clothes and music ... Etc. Currently Alberto is on trial for the lyrics of More Than Words.

7. What is the political situation in Spain? There are parts that want to secede? And how is immigration? Are there any Nationalist organizations you support?

The political situation in Spain is very bad. As explained in the previous question, the government tries to scare people about our ideas and movement. Mass media promotes cultural Marxism based games. It is as if we live in the world upside down because sick minorities begin to control the pillars of the system, create laws ... Etc. Now being gay and marrying a black, it's cool. They try to eliminate the values that made Europe great, values like honor, loyalty, truth ... They try to destroy it to impose its new order. The family is another mainstay they are trying to destroy, manipulating children in schools, forcing them to believe what it says on television ... They try to destroy Spain too with false nationalisms. These nationalisms are promoted by commies, so We think that you can make an idea about it.
At now, Alberto is a directive member of Alianza Nacional. This is the only true NS party in Spain. The government tries to make it illegal too, but AN resist.

8. When can we expect your new cd and tell us a bit about how it will sound?

We think that we will have the cd finished for the summer. We want to get a potent sound and offer it to everyone.
Lots of thanks for the interview.
Pugilato 100%NSHC

Kriegs Legion- War Bastard Cd Review

Not long ago we were sent a promo copy of the new cd from Kriegs Legion titled War Bastard which was just released by Streetrock Records. I have to say this is one badass cd, but what can be expected seeing as how it is made up of former members of Rebel Hell.It starts out with the self titled opening track War Bastard and right away it kicks in and grabs you with some fast paced rock n roll complete with blasting drums and driving guitars reminiscent of Metallicas 100 mile per hour thrashing song Whiplash. This sets the tone for entire cd. As Rebel Hell were known for their heavy bass / Motorhead styled rock n roll, Kriegs Legion tunes that down some and replaces it with some faster guitars and drums getting more into some thrash metal territory.  There`s also some great guitar solos in the songs and especially on track Statist Control which is one of my favorites. Speaking of Statist Control, the lyrics on this cd revolve around political issues as well as general war themed lyrics, all of which are printed in the booklet. In closing there`s not many cd`s that I can listen to straight through without getting bored but each song on here mixes it up enough adding something new to keep the aggression going and keeping you pumped up till the end… and then you start it over lol. A great cd overall. Official promo video is posted below as well as the song Statist Control
