Gerhard Hallstatt is an Upper Austrian musician, photographer, and writer, though he currently focuses primarily on music with his experimental band Allerseelen. He previously served as the publisher of the small but influential underground magazines Aorta and Ahnstern, using the pseudonym Adam Kadmon. These limited-circulation publications focused primarily on esoteric philosophy, magic, sacred architecture, art history, and cultural poetry, as well as half-forgotten National Socialist artists and occultists.

When I first chanced across Counter-Currents almost a decade ago, two things kept me coming back. Firstly, it was the first site I had seen which featured philosophy from a Right-wing perspective. Philosophy is my academic environment, and my BA, MA, and PhD are all in the subject, but online philosophy magazines are offshoots of mainstream academia, and therefore lean strongly to the Left.

“In my songs, I’m trying to duplicate verbally the pain or the joy or the emotion that’s going on inside my head.”
—John Lydon

Your musical opinion of punk rock is unimportant, and so is mine. Its cultural significance is a different matter. Music as music is important to us as individuals, of course. Music plays a part in every life, and many of you won’t just like your music of choice, you will be attached to it as something sacred. But any musical genre is not just notes and scales, voice and instrumentation, it is a part of the culture that produces it, and therefore any music produced over the centuries is important, like it or not.

Here at Counter-Currents, we have already published a lot of material about Laibach, their music, and the cultural events surrounding the band. I believe that the band needs no further introduction to our readers. Personally, I like to play Laibach’s music at gothic parties, especially the songs Alle gegen Alle and Tanzt mit Laibach, but of course the band offers much more than just dance music. During their active years, Laibach has built a legacy that goes beyond music (they are one of the most influential bands in the genre today). Laibach is literally a cultural phenomenon today.

I love reading Margot Metroland’s essays and I love when she helps me to remember the various writers and forgotten figures of the American underground of the past. Margot has undoubtedly led a very interesting life and has known many personalities, artists, and interesting people. Judging by her writing, I’d say she’s both smart and sociable, which is a very interesting combination, and at the same time she has an interest in strange things. (more…)

The following essay was originally published at Radix Journal under a different pen name, but is being reprinted here with the permission of the author.

In “Psychology and White-Ethnocentrism,” Kevin MacDonald discusses groups he calls “implicitly exclusionary” on race, and explores how these groups may be used to foster greater community among whites. Examples he gives include National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), Country and Western Music, and — somewhat ironically — the GOP. He writes about how such groups intuitively segregate themselves, but dare not mention what they are. (more…)

“You know how to gain a victory; you do not know how to use it.” Those are the famous words Maharbal, a commander in the Carthaginian army, told Hannibal after they had achieved a momentous success on the battlefield at Cannae. Whether or not Maharbal really did utter the admonishment does not matter. (more…)

There has been a Mr. Bond-shaped hole in the National Socialist rap scene ever since ZOG sent the Austrian troubadour up the river for the crime of being a genius. But fear not, for I see from perusing the still-active Mr. Bond fan pages that the white race is continuing to produce lyrical machete-men vying to become Mr. Hassler’s successor as the King of White Nationalist rap. No-Face Nate, a rapper associated with the Will 2 Rise movement, is one such contender. (more…)
