There are many ways to fight back against the Power Elite. Music is high on the list. Good music can transform us. A solo artist and two bands have contacted us and we've had the chance to listen to some of their material. They are all talented, have completely different styles, and they have something different and meaningful to say. 

 

They are an antidote to Simon Cowell's American Idol and X-Factor junk machine that takes music, feeds it through a "trivia filter", and out at the end pops bland, sterile, synthetic, plastic, manufactured muzak for people who hate real music - the zombie masses who listen to anything so long as the singer looks pretty and is wearing the latest fashions. The music industry is now about the brand. The music itself is a secondary consideration. A singer with a great "brand" and average voice will always massively outsell a singer with a great voice and average brand. So much for musical talent.


Music from 1950 - 2000 was about rebellion and rejecting the establishment. In the last decade, it has become just another arm of the consumption machine, a capitalist activity like any other, shorn of all its power and meaning. Bands are banal. They have nothing to say. The music industry exists just as a means to make Simon Cowell and his ilk absurdly rich, and to let advertisers expensively demonstrate their wares at "music" festivals (actually just merchandising and brand promotion opportunities). Pop has finally eaten itself.


Music is too important to permit it to be corrupted and trivialised. The musicians showcased here are all fighting back. The music industry is one of the toughest on earth to crack, especially for those who aren't interested in pandering to Simon Cowell, but these guys all have the talent to make it. Now they just need the right wind. Have a listen. If you like what you hear, spread the good word. Make music a weapon to change the world. Let the people hear the mystical and transcendent Music of the Spheres.

"We are five individuals from Ft. Worth, Texas, all with diverse musical backgrounds. We hate commercialism. We don't seek riches. We are searchers, not slaves. We are talented, but have humility. We are not materialistic or greedy. We believe that when people stop wanting and just focus on what's really needed, they will become better people. Our image is that we don't have one. Images are materialistic. We are just ordinary people fed up with the way the world operates, and through music we want to encourage others to join in with changing the world for the better. Our audience is anyone who is tired of today's plastic pop and wants to hear music that provokes thought and action. Too many people blindly follow any new fad. They don't even like the music they buy. We want people to believe that the world can change and then act on that belief. We don't need designer clothes or leather pants; we're happy with T-shirts and jeans. Rock 'n' Roll used to be anti-establishment, now look at it. Recycled, inauthentic, fake. It's time to change it back. It's time for real music for real people."

This is our song Who'd Wanna Save Us?

 

 

 

  

 

DISÖRDER

DISÖRDER are a German metal/thrash metal/black metal band, with guitar and voice supplied by Adam W.Eishaupt (!)

Their debut album WOLVENSTEIN...is a concept album about someone who seeks the Illuminati, finds them and finally becomes one of them.

"We, the Brotherhood Of The Serpent, have nothing much to say ... about your World, your mindless Dreams, your unsatisfying Deaths. We support, we ARE the Lucifer Rebellion. To bring Light to The Darkest, Blackest, Unseen and Unknown Spaces and Places. The very hurting Light of change. Chaos. End of the World as you know it. Millions are waiting to be enlightened by the Brotherhood of the Serpent. Dumb and Blind they crawl upon the Planet's surface. Unaware. Harmless. We are going to change these established conditions. In the most Holy Tradition of our ancient Ancestors Adam Weishaupt, Leibniz, Jaques de Molay and such ... You are not the Masters of Thyselves. As we crawl like cattle over the earth, we are searching, hungry, and willing to find those of you who will support the Brotherhood. All the Wars and Tortures of the centuries will be nothing. Beware the Sun of Man. Will you be a companion of the Lucifer Rebellion? Will you support The Brotherhood Of The Serpent? We offer you nothing and everything ... Contact us!"
