In a recent interview, guitarists Holocausto and Pogrom of Virginia-based “racist” death metallers ARGHOSLENT weighed in on the upcoming Presidential election in the United States:

Holocausto: I don’t know of any reference to all non-whites as ’simian abominations;’ it sounds more closely to resemble a broad critical reference to the African lineages, not all non-whites. Because each of our views differ in some of the finer points, I speak for myself when I categorically profess no intrinsic love or honor of all white people. This is utter nonsense. A man is made within, not without. The concept is so basic and fundamental that it is a trite and tiresome topic of discussion. I loathe no man for the melanic concentration in his skin, nor do I admire any man for a fair complexion. The number of miserable and wretched whites on this planet is very great, to be sure (I suspect quite a few of them listen to our ‘white power’ music). Still, I do generally regard many cultures with a sort of aloof derision.

I am sympathetic towards and inspired by civilizations that have given to the world high art, great science, revolutionary technology, and rich culture, and the most interesting examples to me are of white Europeans. Many continents far beyond Europe have known great empires, but conspicuously sub-Saharan Africa has not. One of the oldest lands trod by man has never mastered architecture, cultivation, technology, science, or any other prerequisite for civilization. In the United State one constantly endures unpleasant interactions with the descendants of these dark and unaccomplished people, and therein is a source of disappointment and irritation that is manifest in some of the descriptions in our songs.

But do not think for a moment that this implies a belief that if one is born white, one is superior. On the contrary, this country knows its current unenviable position because the whites here are so pathetic. Our scholastic performance is below average, our president is a cowboy buffoon, the value of the dollar is laughable, we are in a recession, culture is a foreign concept, foreign policy is an afterthought, we throw billions of dollars at fighting an immortal and intangible concept in the Middle East, and all this as the country is run by whites that were elected by whites. White power? I think not. In fact, the best thing for this country would be for a certain non-white Democratic candidate to win the presidency (and yes, to point out the obvious, he is a very impressive, accomplished man, not the ’simian abomination’ referenced above; people should be more discerning when interpreting blanket statements; a country full of men like him would be a far worthier country than one crammed full of corpulent white trash rednecks). But all this just makes for less interesting song material, hence the focus on historical intrigues.

Pogrom: In layman’s terms, whites are responsible for the pathetic state of affairs, to such a degree that even a half-black presidential candidate is seen with optimism around the country and the world. Have no doubt in your mind that by having a white mother, he’s should not be considered black and that his apparent success, as mentioned by my conspirator Holocausto, would not have been achieved had both his parents been Kenyan immigrants.

Furthermore, what nobody should be worrying about is his complexion, rather his dangerous Democratic Party preference and its consequences for America. About anything out there looks better and sounds more promising that what George Bush has done to this nation. Again, ultimately we are our own enemies. We fell to the toes of Christ and Moses, and soon we’ll be at the mercy of Allah as well. Nobody should blame Jews or other pests for their own miserable situations. The enemy within is cowardice, complacency, ignorance, pacifism, and guilt. Perhaps we should have Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as a President instead. Maybe then it’ll create a reaction in the unfathomable potato couch lifestyle of our supposed kin, even though I highly doubt it. For the most part, a full belly, a microwave, a television tuned to Oprah Winfrey, a 7-11 and fast-food drive-thru close by, filthy Jewish porno rags, and a 6-pack of Budweiser constitutes happiness in the basic man.

Arghoslent are one of maybe five DM bands tops that can write a song nowadays. I always approached their lyrical content as I did with Grand Belial’s Key. They’re just being storytellers, even if they are adopting a typically abhorred point of view. This interview just shot my respect for them through the roof.

I guess they’re pissed off about people thinking they’re blindly racist. I mean it’s not like lyrics such as “on the sweating back of nigger slaves” would imply such a thing…

But it’s a good read anyway, although to call this an interview is obviously misleading. More like an essay. And if you havent heard these guys, they fucking rule.
