Summoning make stand against fascism

[Svmmoned]

I don't see the significance of the origin of the instruments.

It would be hard to find more Indo-European instrument than a guitar.

What about Stalin? Even his inner circle was terrified.
 
Well, the brilliance of the Soviet regime was not just that you relied on few people, but that there were lots of replacements. In a tsarist system you have to rely only on aristocrats, but in a Soviet system everyone can be your supporter. This puts your core circle on notice that they are easily replaced. That, of course, made them horribly loyal. The Mob are very good at this.

From an article entitled "How to be a dictator"

The point being that perhaps fascism (and national socialism, the actual topic of this thread) are not as bad as people think.

When is a new Summoning album coming out? Or is it all Ice Ages now?

Either would be awesome. It's about time now and a lot of bands are well overdue to release new material so it should be a great year.

I think the timing is right for people to make music in the spirit (not the sound, not by the same members, not with the same imagery, necessarily) of the older bands. Summoning would fit right in.

We have finished all vocals and choirs for the new album. This means that we slowly come to an end now. Until the end of the month we have to finalize the sound, the booklet and the two bonus songs. This time we also have an English speaker who contributed with some spoken words for two songs. At the end of this month give the master CD to napalm records and fix the release-date which probably will be in march or April.

I agree, simple reason.
Summoning belong to our ancient principles regarding race.
what's best on or for earth?
1 ultimate race or multiple ones?
it's alike what nurture way of life
Their music is not hitler.
Summoning have a great reputation,
like their music, copyright on the internet is serious work

i support total freedom in speech and thought, and even a nazi should be free to say whatever he thinks. for me forbidding special thoughts or opinons does not fit into a democratic society. forbidding opinions turns them to a taboo, what attracts most of the young metalheads very much. it makes them feel like real rebels to break those taboos. i want that those taboos never even appear.

This was the issue that finally exploded into MetalGate. Bands were held hostage by crazy journalists and zombie fans who wanted to destroy them if they did not have the right political beliefs.

Now a much different world.
