Okay, have heard of the geezer above and that's how it will remain.

Since the discussion started here I thought about how much I love listening to the composer Sibelius - also a fervent nationalist. That would be deemed okay though in popular thought, so I guess it's all a matter of extremes. One of the reasons I was drawn to Drudkh in the first place is their regard for poetry - something missing from the far dodgier IMO project of Saenko's - Hate Forest.

Thanks for the reply.

A matter of extremes is a good way of putting it, well said.

I think, perhaps, that the reason we can forgive the political leanings of controversial artists is that those can be borne of circumstance.

Have a listen to Wardruna if you haven't already (tenuous link to controversy is that Gaahl is a member).

The early work - Filosofem - is very good.

A nice chap all round who calls himself an 'odalist' whatever that means..?

He stinks?

first album was ok i guess, couple of decent tunes. but tbh i think even his band mates want it dead and buried. when this was all announced they must have by association just gone "lostprophets is dead, lets move on"
there's no way a band can survive something like that its PR hell.


Maybe the remaining, innocent, members should just change the bands name?

I suggest 'Lost Profits'?

Sibelius was a nationalist due to living under the yoke of Russian Imperialism!

Could you use such an argument to defend collaboration with the nazis (as in WW2)? I'm not pointi nt the finger at you or him, merely posing the question.

There is also Strauss and Wagner...I like them too.

This can be taken to the Nth degree.
Should I listen to Greensleeves because it was composed by Herny VIII*, whom I'm told was a double wife murderer!
(*I know he probably didn't write it!)
