Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #28 – The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy: Television The Drug Of The Nation

Nurr Goth Isn’t PoliticalNurr Goth Isn’t Political is now it’s own blog on Tumblr! Goth can (and used to more than it does currently, as far as I can tell) cast its spooky shadow across pretty much any genre.

Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #27 – Die Warzau: Insect

Nurr Goth Isn’t PoliticalNurr Goth Isn’t Political is now it’s own blog on Tumblr! This is a fan video, but the lyrics to this song are pretty explicit too. I don’t know too much about Die Warzau, but they seem pretty political in general. A bit frightening, though, with an album titled Vinyl 88 (88 [...]

Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #26 – Wolves In The Throne Room: A Looming Resonance

Nurr Goth Isn’t PoliticalNurr Goth Isn’t Political is now it’s own blog on Tumblr! Yes, yes, Wolves In The Throne Room is technically black metal and therefore, for some bizarre reason, outside the realm of “goth,” but that’s bullshit. This song is hell of goth. And you can’t get better than a black metal band [...]

Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #25 – Militia

Nurr Goth Isn’t PoliticalNurr Goth Isn’t Political is now it’s own blog on Tumblr! Black flag in the background? Check. Collectivist rather than individual approach to making industrial music? Check. I discovered Militia from a forum discussion about anti-fascist neofolk on last.fm. They’ve got an album called The Black Flag Hoisted and a book about [...]

Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #24 – Ministry: Isle of Man

Nurr Goth Isn’t PoliticalNurr Goth Isn’t Political is now it’s own blog on Tumblr! In high school, someone dubbed me a copy of the ministry album New World Order.

Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #23 – Winterkälte: Rebound Effect vs Sustainability

Nurr Goth Isn’t PoliticalNurr Goth Isn’t Political is now its own blog on Tumblr! Winterkälte doesn’t have any lyrics, but their song names say it all: “ban depleted uranium weapons”, “riot green elves”, “erosion”… they’re not actually very subtle. It’s good noisy stuff, too.

The RNC 8

That was the video that the RNC Welcoming Committee made before the RNC protests in Minneapolis / St. Paul in 2008. I think it’s hilarious and quite obviously satire. Now, a few years later, the RNC 8 are about to go to court (on October 25th), accused of conspiracy. Originally, they were being charged as [...]

Nurr Goth Isn’t Political #22 – Snog: Empires

I’ve just started a Tumblr for Nurr Goth Isn’t Political, though I’ll continue to post some to this site as well until the end of the month since I’ve already got them scheduled. A friend of mine just gave me a ridiculous number of recommendations for NGIP. I told him I’d never heard Snog, and [...]
