Metal Jew

New article on metal backlash

I had another article published on Souciant - this one on metal backlashes.

Round up

I haven't had time to do a big post recently, but here's a round up of some interesting stuff:

Meshuggah Beach Party do surf music covers of Jewish standards. They're pretty shticky (they play dressed as Haredim) but the music sounds great. Maybe everything sounds good surf-style? Check out black metal surf-style

Meads of Asphodel are visiting Auschwitz as part of their research for a new album. They are not Nazis but it's s not going to stop the accusations. They have form in this regard - remember this?

There's a partially innacurate post on NSBM at Who Makes the Nazis that mentions the Meads amongst others. Check out the debate in the comment thread. This piece on Italian NSBM is much better.

This compilation CD of underground music from Lebanon looks way cool.
