is slowly but surely in the mainstream of the German metal scene, the distancing of Philip "Freki S. and his band VARG. Often we notice it only when looking closely, because with few exceptions, is not spoken publicly about it.
The Legacy magazine has distanced himself eloquently by S.. From the Ragnarök festival you have unloaded him. His interview with the hard rock was not printed. The Twilight Mail Order sales leads VARG no longer in range. And the big label Nuclear Blast Records, which announced yet less than half a year's contract with VARG, all publications and Shop Shop VARG has taken from the range.
respect of the said contract with Nuclear Blast, which was shortly thereafter canceled without notice for any reason (from the label) is there in recent months some open questions. Meanwhile, a member of VARG, bassist Timo "Managarm", has expressed in an interview with the Austrian webzine Stormbringer to all this: " History with Nuclear Blast was indeed a bit confusing - even for us Initially, both sides were extremely. euphoric and the preliminary agreement has already been signed on 26.10.2009. The right treaty then comprised 15 pages, some additions and signed by any party. About a month later we were then the pre-contract "canceled" by the words sent. With the safety something to do with the cry with which we struggle right now and have been talked about at the first meeting in Donzdorf too. Why so suddenly became a problem, we ourselves do not know "
The" reputation. "- That is nothing but the involvement of Philip S. on" right side "of Black Metal and Pagan - by VARG was thus already "at the first meeting in Donzdorf" an issue. Certainly p. will then expressed, and denied the accusations, have. as safe as can be said that the research of Nuclear Blast have led to results that the statements of S . represented as untrue. Because nobody likes to be lied to, and especially not in a budding relationship, was the termination a logical consequence of the Treaty.
with his reaction to this step by Nuclear Blast, Philip S. has also clearly shown that you can not believe him and he tends to the truth (he'd intended as a "white lie" mean) to say . For the end of 2009 Philip S. writes about the canceled contract between VARG and Nuclear Blast: "Actually, everything seemed to be wrapped up, the band VARG was amazed at the openness of Nuclear Blast and they love the new album" Blutaar "but in the final analysis, there were a few points in which band and label do not agree. VARG and Nuclear Blast were therefore go their separate ways because both parties to their Basic ideas of music, marketing and content could not unite in full. VARG flip-flops, there will not. "
Why did Philip S. not taken the opportunity to on its own" clean sweep "to make? He would have on his contacts and activities at the" right edge "can confess to having a honest opinion, a further damage to turn away from his band.
has Instead, he lied to the fans of VARG and hoped to be able to conceal his horizons successfully. At the same time he has an action" VARG against Nazis started to allow it to the outside world as "anti-fascist" stands.
No one buys it now even that he was recruited from an honest belief "against the right". Since it does not help if he makes from the stage any comments "against the right", as it should have happened on the Winter Fire Festival: "Through their prior highly controversial appearance at the Winter Fire Festival is likely the band Varg all have made skeptics by their clear statements on the stage clear what attitude within the band prevails on the subject right-wing radicalism. nazis fuck off! The never-ending line at the autograph session, the band would then probably once every doubters convinced. "
is not a course organizer, VARG is still a stage, say otherwise to the "setting" the band / by Philip S. (can). However, any reasonable metal fan is now become aware of what to make of such announcements.
Whether with or without flip-flops by Nuclear Blast, Philip S. moves determined by the wayside.
