"PRESUMED GUILTY: Misanthropy Compilation"

The first Misanthropy label sampler is based on the concept of censorship and freedom of speech. As usual, we can expect nothing less than perfection from this outstanding label: The 75+-minute long CD comes with a beautifully designed 20 page full-colour booklet including band-photos & exclusive statements of all the bands featured; exclusive cover painting by Tania Stene (Darkthrone, Burzum, Ulver, etc.)!
* ALERT! -- The unreleased 9 minutes-long BURZUM [Black METAL!] track from the "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" era is a special taster and must-have (ESSENTIAL!) for every BM fanatic!

* Excerpts from the libretto:
"ACHTUNG! SPITFIRE! -- While the psuedo-intellectual elite of both political left & right lock horns in their unceasing battle, the rest of us who care not at all for their doctrines & dogma are caught in the crossfire of moral superiority. (Meanwhile, I would like to know the point in time when Misanthropy Records went from being a label renowned for encouraging individuality, free-thinking, & artistic expression to a vehicle of the Third Reich??!! I seem to have missed this incredible transition [oh sorry, I forgot-- I was captive at Colditz at the time...] Absurd & pitiful accusations from those live in glass houses only serve to undermine real intelligence & honesty; right now I can hear many skeletons rattling in the accusers' closets. Wake up & think for yourselves-- censorship destroys creativity & I seem to remember during World War II the Nazis excelled at censorship; so who's the real fascist?" -- SOLSTICE

"I demand one thing of my listeners & any fan of MAYHEM: one must be able to think for oneself. One must be able to separate philosophy of strength from the dogmas used by the NSDAP & their propaganda ministry. There is a difference in not wanting to submit to the "true life"-hating slave-mentality of the disease called christendom & national socialism. This is a subject I am willing to discuss anytime, anywhere. This said: for too long the human race has suppressed their inner-strength; the free spirits must & will always believe in what one finds closest to oneself & so it should be. If some find this offensive, it is their problem. The brotherhood lives on. The majesty of truth is not scaled by the rope-ladder of logic." -- MANIAC (Mayhem)

Imported from England (on Misanthropy Records!).
