Spectral Lore - New Single Released


One-man black metal band Spectral Lore has released a cover of the Book Of Sand track "No Excuses For Fascist Sympathy". It was recorded and mixed in the Stellar Auditorium and it's the first overtly political statement under the Spectral Lore name. Check it out below.




Ayloss commented: "So, I will be starting with some new music right away. This is a cover of a Book of Sand song, a band that I respect and admire deeply, both for its musical and conceptual side. I couldn't imagine years ago that I would be making music with a direct political message and I don't think I'll do it again for some time, but it was very important for me now. It's not just the black metal scene that has been turning more and more reactionary over these last years, it's the world itself. And it's a very dangerous time in history that we currently live in. Fascism needs to be opposed firmly and decisively.

"I wanted to make a such a statement for a long time now and the New Zealand mass shooting was the final tipping point. I can't understand how we can go on after such a consciousness-ripping event with the same kind of apologia, horseshoe-theory or downright nazi fascination that's often met in this music. In any case though, let me be completely clear: fuck racism, fascism, white supremacy and also every other form of bigotry like sexism, homophobia, transphobia, classism and so on. If any of the above offends you, too bad. I'm pretty sure that some people will be, but you ought to know where I stand, so it would be best to do this from the beginning. To all others, I hope you enjoy it, and also don't forget to listen to the original song and the fantastic album where it comes from."

There should be more black metal bands with a strong message, raising their flags high against ignorance and rightist extremism.

I love that song. Someone - let's call him 'the good soul of the shoutbox' - said that the original was a beauty, too.
He was damn right.
