HONOR has quite a long historical background behind, however it�s still relatively unknown name for a regular metal freak. Why such an injustice?
- The answer is very simple, the origins of HONOR are totally different. We are NS / RAC / WP band since the beginning in 1989.
Pardon me for borrowing
your precious time, but nevertheless you�ll have to tell us few words about
each single work of yours released thus
far� Right here.
- That would really be too much to tell, so maybe I shall give you our discography? (due to what I don't know of, Szczery didn't list anything that could be considered a discography... therefore, let your humble servant do it instead: �Biely Front� MC (1989), �Cena Idei� MC (1992), �W Dzien Triumfu� MC (1993), �Urodzony Biatyym� MC (1993), �Stal Zemsty� CD (1993), �Droga Bez Odwrota� CD (1995), �The Fire Of The Last Battle� CD (1998), �In Flames Of Rising Power� CD (2000), "To Survive For Victory" Double-CD (2000) and "Raiders Of Revenge" split-CD (2000) - ED).
What
about jubilee double-CD? Does it contain any rarities or at least re-mixed
/ re-worked tunes? What was the main purpose for bringing it forth the
light?
- The reason we had released Best 1&2 was simple, we wanted to accent the 10th anniversary of our being on the scene. Musically all tracks included there are old ones, we have recorded them once more. They had been recorded in new, better versions, but I�m afraid that they are not as good as they should be. Some of them sound worst that the previous versions. I think that main problem was the technical realization of sound in the studio.
Apart from most of the bands delivering music similar to yours, HONOR surprisingly is comprised of doubtlessly skillful musicians; consequently let me ask you few questions on this subject. Firstly, how much time did it take to handle your instruments the way you do, and secondly, how often has the lineup been changing? By the way, photos that �Raiders Of Revenge� split-CD comes with, portray only three individuals (Darken @ GRAVELAND one of them), therefore, doesn�t HONOR appear as a duo at the moment?
- Now there are 5 persons playing in HONOR. The line-up has been changing for some times, because it�s very hard to keep the band playing for 13 years. People, who were not able to cope technical and organizational requirements of being the member of HONOR sometimes have to quit. In any other case they would be only stopping the progress of the band. Only two members of HONOR never changed, Olaf � guitar, and Szczery � voc. The picture on "Raiders Of Revenge" has been taken in one of such moments, when we were looking for new musicians. As I said before, now there are 5 members of HONOR. I hope this line-up shall manage to survive for a long time, because those new members are not only perfect musicians, but also close friends of us.
Perhaps you�ll be surprised, but many of those who gave an attentive listen to the music of yours, often confused (?) it with black metal. At least, few passages here and there heavily remind ME of the aforementioned genre�
- No, I�m not surprised although our music is far from BM. In some tracks surely you shall find such moments, it�s true, but it is not BM. Our split CD with GRAVELAND could shape that opinion.
What kind of relationship (if there�s any) do you have with Poland�s black metal horde? Are you one of those who divide BM scene into �elite� and �non-entities�? Do you consider such a separation a necessity (as for me, I�d say �yes�)?
- We have a lot of friends on that scene, but the main thing that unite us, is our common front of fighting against our religious and social enemies. I can not talk about any dividing of BM scene, because that matter is not so well known to me.
Could you please enlighten us a bit in regards to your collaboration with GRAVELAND and KONKWISTA 88? If I�m not mistaken, you�ve even released a couple of CDs together?
- As about that split CD with GRAVELAND, it�s just a simple thing, Rob is our friend; we do appreciate what he�s doing for the cause. The idea of common CD was born very spontaneously. We wanted to show all the people, that our scene and BM scene is a monolith, with common goals and ideas. I hope that our cooperation between our two movements will be still stronger and stronger despite of all attacks from different sides. K88? As long as I reach my memory, I can�t remember that band on Polish WP scene, sorry!
Now
a surprise for ME: when I�ve been listening to �Raiders Of Revenge� (especially
the first track), I thought you was singing in some weird mixture of Polish
and Russian languages! Don�t consider this question an insult, but was
it pure Polish or such a perception of mine is due to a commonness of our
languages?
- All tracks there had been composed and sang in pure Polish language. I don�t know where you had found that idea with mixing of languages? I don�t know Russian as well as I can create lyrics in it. Both our languages came from the same roots, so maybe that�s why you can find something what sound familiar to you, that�s good.
The utter majority of RAC / NS / WP acts suck badly, when it comes to both lyrics and music� consequently, the question is: what do you think should prevail � propaganda or the music / poetry itself, when it comes to this sort of musical assault? Shouldn�t these two components harmlessly dwell together�???
- In my opinion, if the lyrics suck it does not matter how good the music is, and vice versa � You can sing about very important things, but without equal music that won�t touch anybody. As HONOR we do care that all our tracks are compact, music and lyrics together. That�s very important for us. Besides it, I know some WP bands, which have very good lyrics, but of course you can find some who sucks.
14/88� I totally support David Lane and, needless to say, if we won�t do our best to fulfill these fourteen sacred words, the White Race will cease to exist one day. However, �88�?! Well, that�s definitely not my thing. I support National-Socialistic movement (at least, few of it�s representatives� the elite), but I just can�t get into why I have to praise Hitler? Yes, he was doubtlessly a talented orator, but �thanks� to him enormous number of Russians and Polish have been perished (I�m NOT taking into account jews who have been residing in both countries when German Army entered our lands)!
-
We can talk a lot about it. Some short words. Adolf Hitler surely is an
inseparable part of world NS movement. We are interested only in his political
and social activities as he was a creator of New Order called National
Socialism. All his ideas about Pure Aryan Race are great. But his aggression
against Poland in �39 is real tragedy for us. We are not interested in
any revisionist bullshits from those times, or from nowadays. 88 does not
mean the uncritical praising him. That�s the sign of our appreciation to
historical facts. That�s how it looks for us. But surely there are a lot
of people who don�t know history, and they are unaware of anything. They
shall always stay where they are now. Motto of my activities can be found
in 14 words of D. Lane, that is the only direction where we can do anything
to secure our countries from dying and our race from the extinction, which
is coming so close.
Haven�t you ever been pursued by government, Poland FBI�s analogues (sorry, don�t know how is this institute called in the country of yours) or at least by regular dull-witted idiots due to what you stand for, politically?
- Here in Poland that arm of ZOG is called UOP � Urzad Ochrony Panstwa. Nobody of us is back to the wall now, but these fucking bastards of system are coming closer and closer each day. A lot of our friends have got problems with them. Their attacks are more and more precisions each next time. EU is giving money for all their activities in our country.
Christianity vs. National-Socialism. Any comments on this subject? As far as I know, too many of those who pathetically consider themselves nazis also appear as diehard christians. What the hell, are they mentally deranged to ignore such a horrible contradiction or what�? How�s the situation in Poland with these scumfucks at the moment?
- For me and for my friends in the movement NS idea is totally and 100% throwing the christianity away from the life of White People, who are aware of their roots, and are politically educated enough. Those people who say, that NS and christianity can be joined are totally braindrained, and they know nothing about history, politics, religion, but most of all, about logic. Bastards.
Haider = populist? Or� not?
- Let�s leave that problems to Austrians, I don�t know that man enough to say anything about his activities.
And what about Russians? The relationship between Russia and Poland had always been incredibly strained. What do you think are the principal reasons for that, and is there any way to change the situation for better sooner or later?
- That�s very complicated problem. Russia is our bigger and more powerful neighbor, and it always took our land as some kind of province. We don�t agree with that idea. For now I can�t tell You, when that kind of tension between our nations can change. The problem is not in our nations, privately we are talking each other, and everything is OK. The proof of that situation is our contact with Russians based on 14 words. So the answer is simple � our governments! We all are ruled by the people who want aggression between our nations. Till we shall be able to decide by ourselves (long, long way to that goal), that problem will be back again and again. I hope one day such word as Katyn shall stop tearing our hearts away.
Generally
speaking, do you have any knowledge on Russia and it�s historical background?
Since we�re neighbors, I guess you should know a lot on this subject�
- I know a little about the coexistence between our Nations during the time. All of these unions were directed against our nation & folk. I�m not talking about it to accuse anybody, there�s only one thing in my mind now: we have to unite under the banner of 14 words, and that what they practically mean, the idea of Aryan Blood brotherhood. Together we are able to break all boundaries, to clean Eastern Europe from all these bastards. I have great hope, that it is possible, and hope that people like Lenin, Stalin or Trocki won�t appear anymore. It was really the time of breaking all blood bounds between our Nations. Now we all have to pay. All previous generations of common people even had no opportunities to fight, that we have.
Any metal / RAC / WP bands coming from the country of mine you�ve heard lately?
- Yes, I know some bands from Russia - TNF, VANDAL, TEMNOZOR.
Telling us few words regarding your short and long term endeavors as well as leaving a final message would be nice.
- We shall carry on our activities, as it has been before. We are preparing our next CD both in Polish and English versions (English one probably for Resistance Rec.) We would like to thank you for that interview, greetings for all White Patriots fighting against the ZOG occupation, degeneration of White Race and against christianity, both from WP and NS / BM movements. We witnessed great chaos and destruction of our countries, all the blood we shed. ZOG is responsible for all those crimes together with his psychopathic servants-traitors of race, who wanted to rule the Earth. Today we have only 14 words, and that�s the one and only opportunity to unite in White Brotherhood. We can not accept so called �truth� of ZOG. Hail White Order! No more Brother Wars!
