According to Theworld.org, the election to parliament of a bass player from the Greek black metal band NAER MATARON has the Greek media scrambling to find connections between facism and heavy metal.
Giorgos Germenis will represent Golden Dawn from the Greater Athens district. He’s known by the stage name Kaiadas. That’s the chasm in ancient Sparta where children were thrown to their deaths after being judged unfit to meet the rigors of Spartan life.
As for politics, Germenis says there’s an easy solution for Greece’s myriad economic problems. First the country needs to resolve its sea border issues with neighboring countries. There’d be big money in gas and oil exploration which would return Greece to greatness. He blames unspecified “interests” for holding Greece back.
“We Golden Dawn say that Greece is a rich country,” Germenis says. “In order to rebuild Greece, we also need to revitalize our factories and small workshops. In this way, Greece can stand on its own two feet. We won’t need the European Union or anyone else. We’ll just need Greeks.”Read more at Theworld.org and check out an audio report below:
