The 12th and final Vengeful Semblance album and the 30th by Rinta-Perälä. No more albums will be released this year.
Written in October 2022 and August 2023.
Recorded in Silence & Desolation Studio, August - September 2023.
Nazism can't exist without white supremacy. Its inclusion in the halls of metal is one of the most childish things I have ever heard. Neo-nazis are the biggest posers and thieves. They are the ones who benefit from idiocracy. They will turn you into a far-right stooge. The term subgenre doesn't justify fascist terror.
It's not enough to claim ignorance, to be selectively "unpolitical" or rely on infantile cliches. When neo-nazis start stealing things, you don't just give in. You don't give them that credit. We don't have a nazi dictatorship yet. You can actually do something.
Don't be fooled by narrow-minded goons whining about "cancel culture" and confusing criticism with the suppression of free speech. Freedom of speech is not in a vacuum. It's connected to things in the real world. We need all kinds of constructive standards and principles besides that freedom. Freedom of speech won't make your shitty music better.
NSBM is less than music and their ideology is worthless. They would love to be mainstream. We need a new creative underground where uniqueness is not a taboo.
