Boyd Rice

Some people will always remain passive spectators of the world's movement.
Politics occur in everything we do regardless naming it as such. Our words and actions are political with a width meaning. Considering something as "art" is just the way to fetishise a form of human creativity and make it immune to criticism.

Boyd rice is not just right-wing. He is a self-proclaimed racist and satanist, social-darwinist, elitist and more (all with his own words).
Boyd rice is something worse than just a nazi. He is a nazi that tries to secret his hate messages under the coat of "art". There are proofs about his anti-semitist and nazi beliefs you don't have to be a historian researcher to understand, except if you are blind.

Considering rape fun and women subordinate, denying the holocaust (or, even better, asking for a successful recurrence, a total extinction), or just screaming out loud "we want total war" is very political to me. And it should be to anyone who thinks that politics are not just labels or the exclusive field of professional statesmen.

I am not willing to support something like a consumer, just for it's aesthetic approach or value. stowing it's general background, like i only care about the surface.

Boyd Rice is one of the most misunderstood figures in underground music. If you are unfortunate enough to label yourself and your beliefs as 'right wing' or 'left wing' he will undoubtedly infuriate the more sanctimonious of those who only take a very superficial reading of things.

He does little to clarify for people who need things broken down so they can be put into tidy boxes of morality of 'good' or 'bad'. I guess he likes the notoriety.

Anyway, Boyd Rice is an INCREDIBLE recording artist. Under the names of Non, Boyd Rice & Friends, Scorpion Wind and Sickness of Snakes (a project with Coil) he has created some of the best music of the genres of Industrial, Noise and Neofolk.

If you've heard second-hand that he's some kind of 'neo-Nazi' and have decided he should be avoided - think for yourself. Do yourself a favor and check him out.

Boyd, oh Boyd... how can we ever take him seriously? One one side we have a truly terrifying character - knowing much about music, demonstrating his ability to present both - most abrasive and most melodic on equal level of sheer perversity. On the other, this character is too introverted and somewhat misanthropic - yet expecting the outside world to honour his egomaniacal genius for all the 'love' or 'hate', which in Rice's case both seem confusing. Who can ever tell?
