Another big Kanye fan here, 808s and Dark Twisted Fantasy would probably be my least two favourite albums, the latter has some fantastic songs but it’s just got a little too much snyth for my liking.
Someone who knows DI6 on this forum? Odd. By which do you mean weirdo occult music, Agalloch or neo-folk? I have that Down In June album, and I don’t remember getting into it all that much.

All the stuff people who read Julius Evola listen to. The New Righto types.
I always thought that was like boring skin head punk music, or maybe some forms of death metal and industrial. But now that I think about it playing folksy ballad music about orcs, men with axes, or whatever makes more sense.
You’re half right with the music. Sol Invictus was influenced early on by Julius Evola, and had a song titled Against The Modern World, and Tony Wakeford wrote The Death of The West while he was still in Death in June before Sol Invictus. What I don’t get is this “New Right” bullshit, and this stupid shit about orcs and fantasy crap whenever Evola is mentioned. It seems that something stupid gets said on the internet, and then is published everywhere like it’s fact.
NSBM is a genre in itself, but I never got why they were into National Socialism. They are into a degenerate subculture that would have been banned by the NSDAP. I’ve never come across anyone who was into or self indentified as being “New Right”. NS and “Third Position” are they only labels I come across, and I find NS to be counter to traditionalism, and I’ve found such positions amongst some more heathen radical traditionalist who held the view that NS was a product of the modern world, and does not align with their world view. The faction of people into NSBM who actually read traditionalist writers is small, and I don’t use a form of entertainment as a way to distinguish who’s into what. I never came across this “New Right” shit til this forum, and I’ve yet to see or hear it anywhere else.
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned Muse, the band that will open the Olympics. Bellamy is a flaming libertarian. To young people they understandably sound like the greatest thing that’s ever been, though Bellamy is nowhere near the singer that Freddie was and nowhere near the guitar player that Gilmour is. I don’t even think he’s as good a guitar player as Brian May, but he is a world class song writer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog
