How To Tie A Bandana Around My Face

Philipp "Freki" S: A seedy "shining light"?

PartySan The Open Air (PSOA), known for his tough stance against "right-wing tendencies" in the Metal, has very long time for an opinion on the planned appearance by Phil "Freki S. and VARG at this year PSOA,

Since yesterday you explain the following:.

"W e you asked a few weeks ago for a little patience so we make in the matter VARG a comprehensive picture. That is, as already mentioned, not been as easy as initially thought. Especially since this matter was put in a lot of commitment from the two political extremes in the campaign, so we were really zugespamt with emails on this subject. Now that we have many discussions with VARG, Philip, the press and a lot of metal fans have done, we have decided to remain at the Party.San VARG billing. There were, in the discussion in all the forums a lot of emotion in the game, we want to explain that decision in a few short words.

The Party.San Open Air is known for a strong political stance against the infiltration of the metal scene by right-wing crackpot. When the first mail we arrived the VARG and Philip assumed a right background, it was clear that we leave the band in our experience, when these allegations are true.

To find out, we have relied not only on the numerous statements by Philip. We continued to read into the subject and researched. It became clear that most information that has fueled the campaign came from the right. Private photos from the time when Philip nor with the right scene, at least flirted, or even his school work was not so easy to get online. They were used specifically to discredit Philip - on some fake, right websites. The extreme left and some privately Philipp "disappointed" in front of the cart could be further stoked tension and the campaign. Philip had to - rightly - to explain to his fans, labels, promoters and the press. It follows that Philip really has a right-sided blind past and distancing themselves from this and now he takes a clear position against the right-wing scene.

So what is the bottom line is what influenced our decision. will have

• VARG, a band that commercial success and neither in texts nor by external manifestations in the right corner is
• the singer of VARG, Philip, with in the past the right scene had come in contact now with all the force which fought the right distance and public scene.
• an angry right-wing scene, which has thus lost one of its desired light shapes
• one in his right hand to write off the far left could be caught in the pinch and does not seem to drop right will give a chance - and thus deny that man is capable of learning

We see the people on their ability to learn and recognize the positive learning approach to Philip, so that we will him not to slam the door in his face . Why a free from the realm of rights, whether for moral or commercial reasons, does not matter to us. It is important that it is so and we have the impression that this process is not reversible. We are convinced that in the case of Philip.

If we did not give as metals, the hangers-on and / or dropouts from the right scene, the possibility to re-establish itself in the middle of society, we must assume that none of his more ideological, lifestyle glorified rethinking and re-positioned. Thus we see the fate of VARG at Party.San Billing our own moral obligation.

Party.San The team "

This declaration must be analyzed carefully, because they speak, the quintessence of double standards when handling the" Metal Brothers "with S. represents.

The main criteria for deciding that VARG may continue to occur on the PSOA, will be: Claims to have

VARG, a band that commercial success, and neither in texts nor by external manifestations in the right corner belonging

t "

- are The lyrics of VARG not racially or otherwise Nazi. But the pathetic Germanentümelei which, so to speak is the core theme of the band recall, all too often, ethnic blood and soil fantasies of "right-wing circles. A T-shirt which was sold on a first tour of VARG shows the band logo with a swastika. Somehow is a swastika in Germany but in the right corner, or this impression is misleading? + Germans = Nazi swastika. This formula is also used by the organizers of the PSOA to other bands. But not in the case of VARG. A band like SKYFORGER from Latvia, which should apply not already covered by their home automatically as "Nazis" had to even change their old logo, because there have been repeated problems in Germany - although the band insisted that the swastika in the logo nothing other than an ancient pagan symbol represents ...

" the singer of VARG, Philip, who had come in the past with the right scene and is now in contact with all the force of it dissociates and fights the right scene related "

- Philip S. is not linked to" come right scene in touch ", but he has sought the proximity of the scene really, you recall, in 2006, he warns in his professional work ( here . available), before the infiltration of pagan metal of "far right" A year later he attended a ABSURD concert, and he invites Hendrik M. -. known as "Satan killer" - a guest of honor at his wolf-time festival page before playing. "right" audience, and he organized concerts with "right-wing bands." A year ago, he works with Hendrik M. TAAKE together on a concert. For all that are facts that do not even deny themselves of S. be. And now he distances himself of it "with all his strength"? No, he is forced to distance because he can no longer speak out with lies about his past (see the first opinion on the photo with ABSURD-shirt) and because he necessarily wants to have a career with VARG. What will it be "fighting the right" look like? He yells "Nazi fuck off the stage. How serious is it so? He was attested by several pages that he did not "political person". His slogans "against the right" to be prompt and on-demand. They have no substance. When he was with "Nazi-metal" by you because he would "fight" the "right-wing scene" but the front line can - but nothing happened.

" an angry right-wing scene, which has thus lost one of its desired light shapes "

- what extent the "right-wing scene" is concerned at all with the causa VARG was to be proven . Nowhere, except in some black metal internet portals, is there any comment on the subject. Speaking of Phil S. as "desired luminous figure" of the "extreme right", which borders on downright ironic. The Nazis wanted to recruit Philip S. and VARG collect revenue? With all due distance, but it is nevertheless also the "Nazis" more taste and intelligence in the selection of their leading figures may trust. The facts of the causa VARG also shown that S. is the "right-wing scene" had happened, and there has been Biederman.

" one in his right hand to write off far left which could be caught in the pinch and obviously wants no right dropouts a chance - and thus denied that man is capable of learning "

- was Eben S. Philipp still someone who "had come into contact with right-wing scene," but only with the, now he's suddenly a "right-outs." Dropouts, but that implies the introduction to this "right-wing scene." Just the welcome page but never completed have believed his comments and the comments of the benevolent "Metal brothers." Stefan called Hattinger of Rock the Nation S. as someone who has inspired somewhere and this "something brown" gotten. A description of those machinations almost as playing the "right side" of the Black and Pagan Metal, which can be proven S. Philipp. And how S. is now "learn"?

You just think of 2006, and his technical work on policy & Pagan Metal, back. S. has it not already at that time before he got involved with the "Nazi heavy metal fans, all about the dangers and abuses of "far right" know?

THEN he writes: "The Black Metal scene has the political right-wing extremism as a worthwhile field of recruitment appear to new members, because a fundamental is agreement: a rejection of existing society and its culture. "

He then studied the connection to the very exponent of the "political right-wing extremism", which want to recruit in the Pagan Metal-scene, new followers of their ideology.

NOW distances himself from all this and screams "fuck Nazis off ".

What has he learned what he knew not NOW EVEN THEN!

why we speak of a" second chance ", which earned Philip S. While drawing it is a far-fetched comparison, but he may well serve as food for thought: An artist who often still in the Weimar Republic, an essay in which he warns of the National Socialists, but after 1933 a member of the Nazi party to his career advance -. it would have been after 1945 not certified, a purified "dropout" to be, has made the mistakes and learned from them a "second chance" he would vewehrt remained.

The opinion of the PSOA but is rather astonishing, because Philip S. virtually in protection and takes almost no criticizes him. Other bands were, because of - driven almost laughable "crime" of PSOA - compared to the machinations of Philip S.. But with VARG you discover at once a "moral obligation" to make the whereabouts of the band at the festival almost mandatory. From the facts that lead to conclusions PSOA ad absurdum, to close one's eyes. Whether the organizers were thus blinded by the light figure Philip S. or just simply from the fabulous wealth of its labels, it can be aptly . Speculate

Philipp "Freki S: Superficial incitement by right-winger"?

has since Phil "Freki S. of VARG again lucky. Although not all the German "Metal brothers" came to his defense, he could but at least the two leading German metal magazine Rock Hard and Metal Hammer on his side. As was known now, is the interview with S., which is already announced in January, in the next issue of Rock Hard or Metal Hammer will be printed.

Also the Wacken festival has finally decided to submit comments to the causa VARG. Man writes on 01.03.2010: "Dear Metalheads,

in recent days, came increasingly to reactions with the appearance of the pagan metal band Varg the W: A deal: O. Among other things, there have been several mass emails, spread on the Internet, a right-wing band was on the W: Play A: Oh.

impetus of the discussion is a photo from 2007, where the singer of the band with a "Absurd" is to see T-shirt. Varg and their singer Philipp Seiler have clearly positioned themselves in various statements and on each of their concerts against fascism and the radical right. We have set ourselves apart as the organizer of course on this topic. The band gives us various talks absolutely believe that they committed the Error regret very much and thought no right or right-wing tendencies within the band or their musicians are represented. We have also informed us with various "experts" of the scene and large Metalmags that we have also reinforced the findings that it is Varg is not a band right tendencies. Among other things, it will be in the April issue of the German Rock Hard a detailed interview by Wolf Rüdiger Sears Philipp Seiler, in which the facts is again clearly demonstrated and explored. We have therefore decided to have us as an organizer of the current facts, Varg at W: O: A to flex and not be deleted from the billing, because it is we metalheads are yet known to man up to the mistakes and clearly position a second chance. "

addition, one has VARG a confession" asked for the right ", the page is taken. to look at here :

http://wackentube.com/video/1549/Varg+Statement+Against+Racism

Philip S. is represented as having "a mistake" committed, seen it and regretted it, and therefore "deserves a second chance" has one. This all fits in the statement of Stefan Hattinger, organized with the Rock The Nation's current "Paganfest" tour with VARG and her latest album "Blutaar" on the extra published to this end founded label Noise Art Records, in an interview with the Austrian webzine Stormbringer on 23/02/2010: " What happened with the whole story is that of Philip in his past has inspired somewhere and doing a little brown color has gotten. "

After all, what is now of Philip" Freki "white S. and his machinations in the past three years, is the assumption that he was a naive boy with the" false friends " admitted, has now really thinks what the last man.

The

- confirmed - facts on the whole situation is as follows from:

1. S. in 2006, a skilled work has the theme "Politics & Pagan Metal" written in it deals extensively with Absurd and the "right side" in the Pagan and Black Metal scene. Naive in the sense that he knew nothing of all this, he was so from the beginning not at all on.
2. S. In spring 2007, attended a concert by the band Absurd in Franconia Gremsdorf. Supposedly he will be gone after just three songs, but is important is not when he is gone from there but that he's ever gone there first. In an event of the NPD one gets even by accident ...
3. S. has the "devil killer special Hausen, Hendrik M., on the Time of the Wolf Festival's 2007. There was M. as "VIP" treatment. S. has shirts from Absurd, including the "Ulfhednir-shirt with which he was photographed in late 2007 purchased by M.. It should also be an agreement about future cooperation have given. This has clearly yet to do more than just a fascination for a "negative protagonist.
4. VARG's first album," Time of the Wolf ", was published by a label behind which to put the Vikings shipping. At the same time a T-shirt from VARG been published (see photo), on which a swastika (punishable in Germany even in this, rounded shape) shown. As Philip S. has the politicization of pagan metal by "extreme right" busy enough - see his work above subject, which can be downloaded here - he can hardly claim that he had nothing in all this thought further.
5. Another company from the world of Viking transit, - now out - Nordahl-shipment came on as a sponsor of the Wolf-time festivals in the years 2007 and 2008. Media in Time of the Wolf Festival 2008 was the Ablaze magazine, which regularly are those bands that are attributed to the "right side" of Black Metal and Pagan, to speak. Apparently P. had no reservations when he made these contacts and to his Took advantage.
6. VARG have two concerts with such bands that are more or less clearly settled at the "right side" of the Black and Black Metal, played together. Once with and once with ISOLFUR EUGENICS, in Thuringia and Saxony. In addition, at least to be a concert with P. Ukrainian Kroda band, which also has a reputation as a "right" Pagan metal band, organize want. assume Given its background knowledge to the integration of pagan metal with "extreme right" must be a purpose in all this p.. A "mistake" it was not, anyway.
7. S. has organized in the spring of 2009, a tour of Germany with TAAKE. Hendrik M. has a sales booth at the concert, which held in Berlin, can make. The contact between the S and M must have been obviously more than a passing acquaintance. Even without technical activities in "Politics in Black Metal" would need to know who is M. S., M. has done what and what M. stands. Anyone who engages freely with this man, who is based not simply on somewhere as it would constitute Stefan Hattinger now. No, deliberately seeking this contact, either because he sympathizes with M. or because he hopes that this contact any benefit. With a "mistake" that has definitely nothing to do!
8. S. has in the past to any criticism of VARG, terms of approach to the "right side" of the Black and Pagan Metal, with arrogance and scorn responding. This can also be found here is a very significant statement from 10/10/2008: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=156693868&blogId=440002282 At no time has he make on its own "clean sweep" to disclose and end their contacts at the "right side" of Black Metal and Pagan, do. Basically, he lied to his fans for years. But suddenly he is as credible as a repentant sinner?
9. The Donzdorf label Nuclear Blast Records has already signed a contract with VARG that was even announced as early as the Öffentlichtkeit, canceled because they were the machinations of Philip S. and contacts clearly too far and he explained this well or not satisfactorily answer questions arising therefrom could not. Only now S. got the idea, calling the campaign "VARG & Fans Against Nazis" into life. This has nothing to do with understanding in any wrongdoing. There is nothing more than opportunism and hypocrisy!

To distract from all the unanswered questions and inconsistencies in the causa Varg is Wolf-Rüdiger Sears rock hard from the start a large-scale diversion, it has at least the appearance. Because reportedly it is announced in the interview with Philip S., in the next edition of the rock hard, not so much the content of the allegations made against him - but about which corner should come from these charges.

It is said to be some conspiracy of "rights", led by Hendrik M. said, the "revenge" on p. do. Because he "dared" had to be guided by them "to turn". From this circle would be a "campaign" launched against VARG to this band as "Nazis" to defame.

Philip S. was raised in his video message above is also a victim of such a campaign, and speaks of a "superficial agitation by right wing".

wants to make it so easy now, but you can not.

First, there is no causality between the alleged alienation of Philip S., of the "right side" of Black Metal and Pagan, and the allegations that have been expressed since January 2010 on the Internet about him. Already in 2008, Ablaze magazine reported that S. has put on his wolf-time control of the festival band shirts to keep the "right" visitors to its events. The band VARG too emphasized again and again, it was all but no "Nazi" band. The above statement of 10.10.2008 is titled, "We Are Sold by right wing propaganda "against VARG and against Philip S., on the contrary!" However, there were at this stage. "- not six months later, Philip S. and Hendrik M. TAAKE have in Berlin at the concert be given hand

No matter from which corner, and expressed with the motivation, the allegations against Philip S.;. it is now fixed, however, that these allegations are not just plucked from the air but reflect the actual events. has nothing to do with "incitement" or even to do with "character assassination". For it is only now revealed what has long been suppressed or ignored. and also by the very "Metal brothers" who have now the honor of rescuing Philip S. written to the flag - and yet all others act as selfless and altruistic.

Even if it were the case that the allegations against Philip S. from any "extreme right" to be drawn up: If this information is becoming worthless?

Just want to convey that impression Wolf-Rüdiger Sears and Stefan Hattinger. Because it but Nazis should be, the subject here with "brown muck" in VARG, one may be what they have to say, do not listen first. And you do it yet, then you must not think of that. Because Nazis always lie, and anyway out of base motives act out ...

lied No, Philipp S. - and he will probably continue to do it when it comes to his past - and the lower motives will be first among those who cover his lies, and belittle suspect must. For it is business and money, both in the one as with the other. Otherwise we would have long ago as Philip S. called to account, as has happened in similar cases.
