ANY CLOSING COMMENTS?
Mourning the Ancient began in 1995 and debuted on the internet as a webzine a few years later. Some of our first interviews were Master, Deteriorate, etc., bands that we could reach through mail, or through addresses obtained through their releases, since we didn't yet have a PC or an internet connection for that matter. We didn't really have the slightest clue about anything involving a music magazine or photography, we just knew that we were very interested in both. Money was the primary reason we didn't release it on paper. If we were just printing text and black and white pictures of music related material it would have been fine, but carbon copies of our photography wouldn't have been good at all. It was very difficult in the early days of 1995/1996, for a multitude of reasons, but we managed to get everything on track.
Yes, many people, labels, distros and bands do come and go, most of the time that is a good thing, these days at least. When we began MTA in '95 the scene was very strong, especially Black Metal. It was also very interesting and refreshing, there was a lot of originality and talent in the scene. I've watched that energy fade over the years, especially the last few, so much that we don't interview many bands at all anymore. Most of them just don't interest me, and the ones that do, I've already interviewed. But like everything, the music scene is a circle, the trends will die and people will grow disinterested and from their ashes new bands will arise. We don't really seek to accomplish anything, per se. We use MTA as a sword and a banner to support people and ideas, our own and those of others. We also use it to express our ideas through photography and film. We've had a lot of problems with getting our film and photo CD's published, which is why we had to burn the CD's ourselves, as CDR's. If people don't like or agree with the ideas expressed by the bands we interview or our own ideas then I really could care less.
Well, I've been actively listening to various forms of metal music since I was a young teenager. I appreciate many forms of music, from Wagner to Burzum. Favorite artists... it would really depend on my mood I suppose. My favorite black metal artists, for example, are those who began in the early days, from Bathory and Sodom, to Beherit and Mayhem. Although I don't like many of the new releases by these bands. A lesser known band which I really like, from Germany, is 'the true Frost,' which is very good old school sounding black metal. I also like female vocalist bands a lot like old 3rd and the Mortal, Kari's first few solo releases, Funeral "Tragedies", Love Spirals Downward, and especially Ordo Equitum Solis. I recently Heard a CD called Saga "Tribute to Skrewdriver" which was also very good.
Well, it would depend on the band, but there are a lot of good ones from all over the world. About profit, I never imagined that the gore drenched lyrics/imagery of certain Death Metal would become mainstream and make money. On the other hand, NSBM will never be an industry money maker like DM and certain BM. The establishment would never allow a strong conflicting political belief like NS to be too popular. Though Resistance Records has proved to be an exception, but they sell a lot more then just NSBM. Bands I enjoy... well, you mentioned a good example, I'm sure there are many others who don't label themselves NS that are lyric-wise or privately, yet don't declare the term, be it because of hypocritical laws or ignorant public opinion.
You're right, there aren't too many females in the black/death music scene, especially NSBM. I've never cared much about public opinion or who likes what I like, etc.. What I like I Love. What I dislike I Hate. I don't do what I do for any financial reasons, that's for sure. If people enjoy what we do, fine, if not, that's great too.
Personally, I believe one should keep to their own race. I see race mixing as a culture destroyer and a producer of offspring who are often confused and lack identity. Every person, no matter their race, should be proud of their ancestral background and wish to keep it alive for the future. But, in a world where we barely have a present, it is hard for some people to look to a future.
No children. Maybe one day when I'm not so busy working on things. Well, we and our children alike are taught that it is somehow bad to be white. We aren't allowed to be proud of our racial background, yet all other races are encouraged to have racial pride by the system. All a part of their master plans though. Eliminate the race who they deem as their greatest enemy first. What a better way to separate and weaken a people then take away their pride and identity. A proud people is a strong people. A strong people would never let the outrageous and horrible things happen that are happening today.
People have to want to learn. If they do not have at least a small desire to learn the truth then they are incapable of seeing it. They have to already know something is desperately wrong with civilization. They don't necessarily have to know what or why something is wrong. That can come after. But most people seem to lack conscience, as long is they have what they need, and don't need, they'll be loyal little dogs to their masters. I think people concentrate on hating others just for the sake of hating them, because of their religion, culture, race, etc., when they should be looking at the real foe. The ones responsible for destroying what they love. The ones who have created an invisible empire of complete control over Earth and its inhabitants. They wish to divide and conquer us, get us to blame all of our ills on other races, when in fact they are doing the same thing to those races. Smoke and mirrors. Divide us and conquer us.
Paganism is a very attractive thing for me. However, I don't mean the so-called 'new age' paganism found in bookstores and most other places. That to me is a perverted, modernized way of thinking. So much of the cultural treasure of our ancient religions were lost over the centuries, due to the fire and sword of Christianity. Fortunately, there is still a good deal of information existing, although it seems to be growing harder and harder to find. I never liked the way books on the ancient deities, pre-existing Christianity by sometimes thousands of years, are found under the mythology section of libraries and bookstores. 'Mythology' signifies that our old Gods/Goddesses are a myth, or a lie. These ancient religions, and I speak for all ancient, pagan religions covering the globe, were full of honor, truth, codes of healthy lifestyles, fascinating tales, and were very Earth-friendly. I'm especially fond of the God Wotan, who in ancient Germanic was known as 'the God of those against unbeatable odds.' He who gave his very eye for wisdom. Wotan, symbolically or not, is the symbol of my personal war and struggle. Heil Wotan!
Yes, we did the interview with David through the mail. He is one of the growing examples of people who are jailed for as long as they live by the injustice of the system. It proves that if you say or do something the system does not like, which they feel might endanger their power, they will do anything in their means to destroy you. Whether that means breaking their own laws publicly, or taking you out of the equation covertly. There is a Mongolian proverb which comes to mind: 'One about to speak the truth, must keep one foot in the stirrup.' Tyrants don't like truth. It sheds its rays into the darkness of their lies and like cockroaches, they run for cover. 'Truth, the foe of tyrants, and the friend of man.' In the case of David, they might have imprisoned him in their dungeons for all eternity, but they have found it did not silence his voice, it did not hide the truth. Instead it did the opposite. He is very active in trying to teach others of the grave injustices committed and being committed in the world. It is his life's mission. His war until death. But someone like David will never die. Never. His spirit will live long after his jailers are dead and forgotten. You can read the interview online at: http://mourningtheancient.com/dl.htm
It is very unfortunate what happened to Hendrik. We wanted to help him in any way we could, which was very little, to our distress. We were friends with Hendrik for a few years before the international witch hunt for him began. Yet, even if we hadn't known him, we would have supported him. All of us must stand up, even for strangers, when we see their rights and liberties taken away wrongfully so. Anyone could be next. Hendrik was a 'thought criminal' to them. He was fairly influential in certain circles and well respected for his thoughts, they deemed that dangerous to their plans. Internationally, collectively, we have freedom of speech only if you say what is, in their oppressive opinion, appropriate to say. Step out of line and criticize them too strongly, and well, they won't like that very much at all. Let truth be our sword and courage our shield.
I haven't heard much from the Pagan Front since Hendrik's fall, but if they still stand for what they did in the past, I remain supportive, of course. Those interested in Hendrik's case can read an online interview at:

Additionally, there is an interview we did with Evelyn Hill, who ran the Free Hendrik Moebus website/campaign, online at: http://mourningtheancient.com/evelyn.htm
We originally began recording our own music for our photo CD's, to fill the spaces between the bands who had contributed music. Rob from Elegy Records liked what he heard on the photo CD's and convinced us to do a CD with his label, so we did. I've always felt a loneliness in this world. A bitterness toward all the negative and foolish things. I tried to breathe some of that into the recording. Most of it is very dark, atmospheric... the response has been good, so we have plans to do another CD in the future.
Well, there are so many really. Let me just say that so many books in the past few decades, worse and worse as time goes by, have been butchered and edited of truth or 'embarrassing' facts. Pick up a history book from the turn of the century for example and compare it with those today. They're changing the past to better suit their brainwashing and control methods, taking away the world's identity. What we will have left in the future is a culture of drugs, empty music and disposable technology. Bravery, trust, honor and truth seem to have no future tomorrow.
No, I don't follow any organizations at all. I've heard about what happened with Matt Hale, although I don't quite know all the facts. From what I have heard however, it would be very convenient for his enemies to be rid of him this way. If they can't find crimes to charge you with, they'll invent them. The past few years have shown many examples of this.
I don't think I have a favorite, since they cover so many different aspects of life. Perhaps one would be 'The body is a grave where the soul is buried.' -Gnostic saying. My own? The truth is a lie!
I never really know too concrete, but we'd like to release another film. Re-release our first film on DVD. Re-release our first two photo CD's on one CD with tons of newer and unreleased material. And, of course, do another Primitive Supremacy CD as well. There are other things on the drawing board, but we'll have to wait and see where the future takes us.
Thank you for your time, compliments and interest, Brian. Keep fighting for what matters, the fight is sometimes all we have left. Tomorrow belongs to us!
