Mixerr Album Reviews #1,583

(NS) Nationalsozialismus - Nationalsozialismus is an album that represents “an attempted reconciliation of the iconography of the right with the sub-genre of avant garde music”. The album itself is a political album over a  noisy electronic instrumental soundscape filled with sounds of avant garde. Notice the electronic soundscape.

Nationalsozialismus was a one time deal and side project by members of electronic soundscape duo Book And Sword which was released in 1996 on cassette from Sarote Industries ‎as si6 Sarote Implementation Six.

Nationalsozialism (German for National Socialism), commonly known as Nazism, comes from the ideology, goals, and practices commonly associated with the Nazi Party which originated the National Socialist German Workers' Party in Nazi Germany. And of course various other far-right groups with similar ideologies and goals.

Reality is that Nationalsozialismus is an album filled with  completely racist filth and Norse mythology largely for a racist skinhead audience. They falsify usage of the electronic sub-genre of avant garde to promote a racist agenda filed with hate and violence. Nationalsozialismus also uses the electronic sub-genre of avant garde to promote a fascist agenda with goals of promoting fascism.

Notice the Swastika and Iron Cross symbols & emblems on the German soldiers inside the booklet liner notes. That is clearly a sign of racism and hatred. Sarote Industries is a neo-Nazi label.

Not only that, the Nationalsozialismus cassette included a Nationalsozialismus logo pin and a Sarote Industries business card. The booklet was formatted as a A5 size booklet with 16 pages total resealed in an A5 size plastic bag. NS Aesthetic was a companion booklet to Sarote Implementation Six but was sold separately.

The photographs used in the booklets liner notes are impressive and should be archived for historical purposes. Not just for a racist agenda and/or a fascist agenda. Not only should the photographs used in the booklets liner notes archived for historical purposes, the photographs should be archived for educational purposes as well.

I rate this album, Nationalsozialismus, 1/5*.
