Barzel

I shouldn't have shaved. I look like a chick/10 year old.

Barzel is a Israeli/ostensibly Zionist PE outfit. Its concept kind of annoys me, not because I disagree with Zionism (although I'm not sure I agree with it), but because it seems like a project that is purely the opposite of all of the anti-Semitic PE outfits that exist. If you are going to make power electronics, do it with true feeling. Maybe they do have a real passion for making this, but it just seems too much like something that is purely in opposition to those other acts (Genocide Lolita, Green Army Fraction). But I still have their album on my computer. Is it from some guilt about listening to bands that are so stringently racist? I think that all of those type of bands are fucking idiots, but they still sometimes make decent music. Then again, I don't think Israelis and Zionists are that good either. I'm listening to the Barzel album now, and it really isn't the greatest thing ever, but neither is it the worst. Since a lot of PE is not strictly serious about its content, maybe this album is somehow supposed to be negative towards Zionism. It has the same forceful speeches in different languages that I don't understand but can feel the power behind. This song right here is pretty fucking good ("By Blood And Fire"). I don't understand why there is so much hate in the world, and it does really depress me, but I still think that PE is one of the best listening materials out there.
