(flashback):
early 2007 in Essen. Ørjan "Hoest" Stedjeberg enters completely drunk, with a painted swastika on his bare chest, the stage. The German metal press is furious. Stedjeberg will apologize for it though, it remains his band TAAKE boycotted by early 2009 in Germany. Concerts are canceled or rejected.
Gremsdorf in early 2007. Philipp "Freki S. attended a concert by the band ABSURD. This creates an acquaintance with Hendrik M., known as "killer of Satan Sondershausen, for example, held to the latter's invitation to the Time of the Wolf Festival, S., the same year out. The German metal press is silent. S. admits that contact, but his Volume VARG may continue to occur at the Wacken Open Air and on the PartySan.
since 17/01/2010 was written very much about Phil "Freki S. on the web. Most discussions have taken place in online forums, for example, from hard rock, by the PartySan Open Air, administered daily organizer; from Metal Hammer, the Wacken Open Air. So in virtual places, so to speak to each other makes the whole metal scene in all its diversity.
It is very interesting, the reactions to the photo that pages with an absurd 'shirt shows and observe the subsequent allegations and opinions.
First, there is a fundamental defense reflex in these Forums: The critics are either S. "Links Extreme" to be on a witch hunt or "far right" on a vendetta. This classification is for the majority of Board members also settled the case again. It is the disinterested. They have neither an interest in the person of Philip S., yet his band VARG, or even to any discussion on this topic.
Then of course there are the fans of VARG which S. as a victim of "character assassination" see. You can understand all the excitement so as not a shirt, and also the fact that S. speak in front of her two diametrically contradictory opinions at one and the same place - the blog of the VARG profile on MySpace - published and thus exposed as a liar, has the fans can not shake at all. Is fair to concede to them that they are biased. Something else you should expect from fans anyway! but which may be can not not be what -
But then there are the ignorant, it would know better.
In this category are, first, all business partners of S., as his new label NoiseArt / Rock The Nation. Stefan Hattinger of RTN's position is explained in the forum of Metal festival said: "We let ourselves of you elves do not make your tools and VARG NOT kick the dirt - in whom you sult." Why should they? Finally, one has the Label NoiseArt extra set for the release of the new album from Varg, which is to be released on 29.01.2010. The associated investment you will of course not "kick in the dirt, that's for sure. However, you may Stefan Hattinger quite admit that he really unaware of the machinations that are his protege Philip S. rumored know can. For the circles in which S. is said to have moved into Central Germany are expected to hardly one of those "tour operators / agencies / press people" are, that Rock The Nation works "for over 20 years . Accordingly, it Stefan Hattinger also lack insight into a scene, Philip S. knows all too well - see his Skilled work, which he has dealt so extensively with the "right edge" of the Black and Pagan Metal.
Then there is also another form of ignorance, which is found primarily in the editing of the rock hard. Here, people who work on a variety of contacts - available in all areas of the scene - sometimes informal and unofficial nature. It's hard to imagine that these people should have remained hidden from what has spread throughout the country but apparently friends and acquaintances of Philip S.. Each greeting a black list or Pagan metal band wants to make the career is, by these people for clues that suggest a sympathy / tolerance for certain political opinions could meticulously screened. If you find something, then help the band any "excuses" a la "They know each holding of concerts, and one has to but not necessarily the same opinions represented, daily organizer" - No, there are very rigorous quality standards. Not so with Philip S., of his "Nazi-Contacts" - has admitted, after initial denials - and no one is meant less than Hendrik M..
Andreas Himmelstein of rock hard p. granted already absolution before his "mea culpa" ever went online, " us a very good statement of Freki exists, I have yet to be published ok here may be then expected then. sure be concluded here with the nonsense. "So before anyone outside the editorial office of the rock hard at all of them learned that Phil has welcomed p. the Hendrik M. as a guest of honor at the Time of the Wolf Festival, ordered Himmelstein already the end of the discussion. Consequently, the issue was closed shortly afterwards. In other forums, it was also closed, or even deleted.
At first glance this might seem as a protective measure for Philip S., to allow it to be "slandered" anymore. A closer look striking but that no serious discussion content of the allegations has been presented (or could be). The allegations themselves were dismissed as irrelevant, because the people they expressed anything but honorable intentions assumed.
Of course, anyone who writes something to the person of Philip S., have a very subjective agenda. But that also applies to people who keep a protective hand over him!
can
What are the subject of rock hard in support of S.? Certainly, there are also a financial aspect - the album "Blutaar" by VARG was advertised in the large rock hard and it has received a favorable review. But it's going out more. It is a loss of face for the editors and staff of the rock hard. They want, they can not admit that could have made someone like Philip S. to sell them for stupid and dumb to let stand before the entire scene. Philip S. understand present themselves well and to market - the career of his band VARG would be impossible without this property. It is quite possible that Philip had lied to his patrons at the page at a time to rock hard, as was the "point of no return" has already exceeded. For after one has established himself in the editing of the rock hard once that page is not "Nazi" and that to him reputed machinations are discovered either or exaggerated, have each admission to the contrary, a fatal effect on the credibility of the rock hard as a "scene police " and "moral standards" in the Black and Pagan Metal. Therefore, it can now only enter the bull by the horns!
One can only speculate as regards the precise nature of the relationship between Philip S. and the rock hard. But when the editor of this journal socialized supposedly quite naturally with people that are localized by its own staff in "right side" of black metal, then one of the contacts in this environment Philip S. perhaps with a certain indulgence or neglect have seen ...
It is established that this relationship must be very narrow. At the present time to work together on a comprehensive interview, which is to "leave no questions unanswered." One can well imagine how this "interview" comes about. With almost certain that the responses of the Philip S. filed around so long, made to fit what is important is fit. The interests of both the hard rock and Philip S. are now so identical that a critical survey seems impossible. Not by chance it was the hard rock, where the second, extensive opinion of Philip S. was first published - after probably still in the editorial hand was applied to the text to make it appear reasonably plausible. Too bad this one has probably forgotten once the technical work of Philip S., who is from the speech to read!
Even former bandmate of Phil S. register now to speak, such as Sebastian "Geri / Morsan" F. from the band Ivenberg. He writes in the blog of his band on MySpace, that VARG is not a political band and Philip S. no "political interests" approach. What is he supposed to write otherwise? After all, he was for years a member of this band, and a companion of Philip S., to the separation of VARG. Only on 08.01.2010 Sebastian F. writes in another blog entry on MySpace about to clear the air between him and S: "This were made, many of these rumors from the world, worked up misunderstandings and we can back to normal and necessary to the Respect each other . Deal "So it's understandable that he now also does this favor S. and him, attests no" political "to be human. But wait a minute! Then the campaign VARG & fans against Nazis," the Philip S . has created, so no political campaign? S. Because no "political interests", neither the one nor has in the other direction? Accordingly, in accordance with the claims that S. was just an opportunist, but that is the truth ? But just as a side note ... When
rock hard one has taken up with the exculpation of Philip S. on a real gamble whose outcome is completely open. This was clearly evident well as "kitty", organizer of the Open Air PartySan aware. For he writes in his forum: " We develop a current trend very closely and will shortly publish a statement will issue the meantime, I ask you to remain calm and you look at, here are the statements of Philip
It is not so simple.. just want to make us know (no matter from which side) to make it an accurate picture. virginity makes us not definitive and we know that we as Party.San Open Air must pursue a clear line.
give us and the developments in a few days. "
What development should be available in the coming days? What might come out yet, which is unknown? What makes "kitty" his decision depend on?
early 2009, have Ørjan "Hoest" Stedjeberg, Philipp "Freki" S., and Hendrik M. incidentally met again. TAAKE played a concert in Berlin, which was organized by Philip S.. The only stall at this concert was one - Hendrik M. ...
