This broad­cast details the grow­ing fas­cist influ­ence within the “black metal” music genre. A hard-core, icon­o­clas­tic, pagan-influenced form of rock music, black met­als employs the lex­i­con and iconog­ra­phy of fas­cism and Nazism as a vehi­cle for shock­ing the estab­lish­ment. Within the black metal milieu is a grow­ing fas­cist, Nazi and satanic ele­ment that is con­sciously attempt­ing to manip­u­late the genre in order to win alien­ated youth over to the fas­cist cause. Begin­ning with dis­cus­sion of a recent book about the sub­ject, the pro­gram details the explicit fas­cist, Nazi and satanic con­nec­tions of some of the lead­ing fig­ures involved with the black metal scene. The pro­gram details the occult and fas­cist con­nec­tions of fig­ures like Boyd Rice. Michael Moyni­han and oth­ers. (As repeat­edly noted in the pro­gram, the black metal scene is not fas­cist. Ele­ments within it are.) It should be noted that fas­cism and Nazism have (in the past) uti­lized mar­ginal and alien­ated ele­ments of soci­ety as street sol­diers. As was the case with the Strasserite wing of the NSDAP (the Ger­man Nazi party under Hitler), these ele­ments are fre­quently liq­ui­dated after they have served their pur­pose. It should be noted that William Pierce (the head of the National Alliance, the most impor­tant Amer­i­can Nazi orga­ni­za­tion) has pur­chased Resis­tance Records, a Nazi-skinhead music com­pany. Pro­gram High­lights Include: Boyd Rice’s back­ground in the Amer­i­can Front (a domes­tic Nazi orga­ni­za­tion); Rice’s sta­tus as a mem­ber of the Coun­cil of Nine (the gov­ern­ing body of the Church of Satan); Rice’s ivolve­ment with the Abraxas Foun­da­tion (an indus­trial music milieu); the involve­ment of Feral House pub­lish­ing guru Adam Par­frey with Abraxas; Parfrey’s close friend­ship with Boyd Rice; Parfrey’s close asso­ci­a­tion with Michael Moyni­han; Parfrey’s asso­ci­a­tion with Nazi, Holocaust-denier and Lib­erty Lobby asso­ciate Keith Stimely; Moynihan’s explic­itly satanic ori­en­ta­tion; an evi­den­tiary trib­u­tary con­nect­ing Moyni­han to the milieu of the neo-Nazi ter­ror­ist group the Order (inspired by The Turner Diaries, authored by William Pierce); the Abraxas Foundation’s embrace of Charles Man­son; Moynihan’s fas­cist activism; Moynihan’s Holo­caust revi­sion­ism; the asso­ci­a­tion between the Lib­erty Lobby and Resis­tance Records; the involve­ment of for­mer Rea­gan White House Staffer Todd Blod­gett in the Lib­erty Lobby’s financ­ing of Resis­tance Records; William Pierce’s stated inten­tion to use Resis­tance Records to mar­ket black metal music; the Scan­di­na­vian black metal scene; the church burn­ings and other vio­lence per­pe­trated by Scan­di­na­vian black metal activists; the Odin­ist and Satanic ori­en­ta­tion of some black metal activists; the fas­cist and occult activism of New Zealand pub­lisher Kerry Bolton (the pub­lisher of, among other zines, Nexus).
