Solid batch!

Copies of Mo*Te boxset also available from www.audiodissection.com and from artist himself.

some Ildjarny stuff, along with some power-violence hardcorey stuff (wish there was more).  is there much black metal like the first track or two?  members in a hardcore band too?

The track "Sword" on Live in Japan 2007 is really good, it's definitely up in my top 10 G.O. tracks.  Playback w serious bass for most intense understanding of the track, cool doomy riff layer.

It's like wanting to start a goregrind band, but being offended by gore.

This is so cringe it's actually hard to read

XE is sexual, not political. He has stated that, so that's what it is. Just as if an NSBM band is only such if they state they are.

I think that's a very ignorant and naive take judging people's intent only by what they say and disregarding other actions. So I can run around publically in a sailor moon costume, put out personal music covered with manga and tell you I'm not into anime and you will believe that? People lie all the time man. Of course it's sexual but looking at the lyrics, artwork, titles and denying any political influence is ridiculous.

I understand people not liking PE because of the subject matter. What I don't understand is why they would come into it with torches and trying to change something that has ALWAYS had X, X and X subject matter. It's like wanting to start a goregrind band, but being offended by gore.

could never see BU, or even XE, as political in the slightest..

That was always my impression.  I think that noise/power electronics are often so alienating to many people that they would almost automatically be apolitical.  Unlike some NSBM or RAC, it would be difficult to build a sustainable and widely appealing political platform from it.

Just because there's no widespread known subgenres in noise/PE that include promoting political ideologies doesn't mean the entire genre is apolitical

as far as i remember, ten years go, it was accepted in sort of leftist/slightly apolitical art milieus

hahaha i am sorry but this too much. were you on the noise fanatics board at the time? they had a shit fit when rrron & mikko released Hammer of Aryan Terror and it didnt stop until this forum was created and a mass exodus happened. how old is the phrase "nazi punks fuck off?"

also, if you cant see how a band like XE calling for steel capped justice isnt political you have your head up yr ass.

have to agree with the above for the most part.. although i have enjoyed death worship as of late. a shame, 'cause this kind of bm can be some of my favourite musick when done right.. i guess the style became too codified, or something.

The Death Worship debut ep was really good, but I never listened to their full length.  The Asian war metal scene is really strong right now, though - lots of noise influence in their work.  They manage to avoid a lot of the generic war metal stylings of many bands, yet remain appealing to the genre's roots.
