About this Item
An early issue of this white nationalist music magazine that was published from 1994-2007. A total of 27 issues were published. Established in 1994 by Canadian skinhead George Burdi (who edited the magazine under the pseudonym George Eric Hawthorne), the magazine was affiliated with Burdi s record label, Resistance Records, and band RaHoWa (Racial Holy War). Primarily targeted at the white power skinhead culture, early issues profiled overtly racialist punk, Oi! and metal bands while advertising Resistance Records substantial catalog of CDs and apparel. The magazine s circulation increased from 5,000-13,000 copies of each issue - virtually unheard of for a white racialist publication - although circulation statistics were no longer published after issue 4. Defunct for nearly two years following Burdi s legal battles and his public renunciation of racism, it was revived by William Pierce of the National Alliance in 1999 and lasted under the editorship of Erich Gliebe until 2007. The magazine remained musically oriented, although it expanded its coverage to rockabilly, country, folk and other less aggressive genres, but it also began focusing on various aspects of white history and culture and included interviews with and profiles of athletes, servicemen, teachers, entrepreneurs, political prisoners, etc. Women also became more prominently featured - especially on the latter issues covers - and issue 10 included a new centerfold section called "Proud Aryan Women," which lasted until the magazine s demise. This issue features interviews with an English white power skinhead (featured on the cover) and his various bands, David Lane (of The Order & 14 Words), Svastika, Excessive Force, and Involved Patriots; an editorial by Hawthorne, news & views, A White Farewell to No Remorse (A Pictorial History, 1986-1996), articles on Michael Lerner's "pseudo-political thought 'the politics of meaning'," the human drive to hate, and historical figure William Wallace; plus music & 'zine reviews, many adverts, etc. Stapled, glossy wrappers (11" x 8 ½"), 64 p., heavily illustrated. Some wear, creasing and slight rippling to wrappers.
