Listen to two songs of this Austrian project here (http://www.myspace.com/totalevernichtung).

The first one is killer .
Is one of your demos still available ?
Let me know asap through PM
Thx

Greetings!

Enjoyed both songs.

Well done instrumental work, not too polished but clear enough. The guitars sound amazingly good, sharp and aggressive without loss of melody.

The concept seems a bit unclear to me aside from what i´d read in the small bio and i fail to follow the lyrics. I´m guilt of not being familiar with the German language.

In fact, the concept is the biggest bullshit ever heard!

Take some song titles:

Alle Wege fuehren nach Auschwitz -> All ways lead to Auschwitz
Im Glanz der brennenden Synagogen -> In the shine of the burning synagogues
Tod durch Zyklon-B -> Death by Zyklon-B
Auschwitz wurde nicht an einem Tag erbaut -> Auschwitz was not built in one day

And they claim to be no NSBM?!

“TOTALE VERNICHTUNG is not NSBM in any way! The lyrics are just extremely anti-religious, based on really subtle and sensitive themes and even on typical Nazi phraseology and methods that were used by the Nazis, but do NOT contain any of their political views. There is no unconstitutional stuff in the lyrics. TOTALE VERNICHTUNG is NOT a political band (and is privately against any kind of racism and right-wing shit).”

Harhar - what a crap. If you are NSBM, why to hide timorously?! If you aren’t, why to play with this phrases? BM is not the way to handle “subtle and sensitive themes”, I guess.

Well...

What has it got to do with NSBM when you combine killing methods that were used by the Nazis with anti-religiosity?

Why should it be NSBM when you sing about christians being killed in Auschwitz? ...or by Zyklon-B?

[EDIT: There's one more reason why I chose Auschwitz, gas chambers, Zyklon-B and all that stuff. It's historically burdened (that's what I meant by "sensitive", by the way..) and some people still do get shocked by such lyrics.]

I hope these examples make it a little clearer...

By the way, on the next demo, the "concept" will be changed.

well, Clandestine Blaze has made the quite explicit song "Chambers", but I don't hear anyone call them NSBM?

;)

;) What if one of his songs were called Auschwitz was not built in one day, then?

Stop and think, NSBM is an acronym for "National Socialist Black Metal" isn't it? Not "anti-jew" metal.

NSBM must be performed by, and be about, NS.

It wouldn't make a big difference.
CB is not an NSBM band, so I don't see the reason why (other) bands using WW2/Holocaust-imagery automatically should be labeled as such.

Yeah. But it's not anti-Semitic either.
