Fascism in Czech underground music: You could look at it as an attempt at a perverse joke

"We want to piss people off. We know where our place is, and our creed is solidarity and respect for others, even though we may bring knives or scythes to gigs" says 38-year-old Marek, singer of Czech band Bahratal, who insists that Nazi references in his band are just punk provocations, part of the theatre - "It's a risk of style". Prague musician Willhelm Grasslich and his infamous power-electronics project Uncle Grasha's Flying Circus supposedly explores the nature of social taboos - "You could look at it as an attempt at a perverse joke. I utilise aesthetics of the avant-garde and of propaganda, where everything is intertwined and where borderlines disappear". Than there's Sekhmet, band characterized by Satanism, misanthropy and Neo-Nazism, with lyrics "There is purity in blood, there is nation in blood, there is strength in blood, justice, and hate!". A great the Quietus article, with a clear point - "The subculture and music influences your identity, and emancipation through music can't help but have a darker and more sinister side".
