H8machine interview (English version)

Let us present our next interview with NSHC veterans "H8machine"! A big thank you to Dennis for the answers and to the Urban Rage Streetwear Crew for the help!

1., First of all, please tell us about the begining of the band! When and why did you form the group?

I started H8Machine in 2000 i believe, we did our first gigs as well that year and released the Cheated cd in 2001

2., Why did you change the name from Dying Breed to H8machine?

I didnt, its a completly different band. Not sure why people always assumed that we changed the name. My former drummer that started Dying Breed with me, was unable to commit to playing concerts anylonger. I felt being this was something we started together i didn't want to continue without him. So I formed a new band.

3., How would you describe your music?

We are a hardcore band. Not to be confused with a metal core band. The older material was much more an updated older style New York HC sound, but still not metal. The later releases we brought more breakdowns and sing along sounds into the mix.

4., As the lyrics of H8machine are not so "direct" as other US bands, I'd like to ask if H8machine is an ns band? Could you describe your political views?

We a few things, at the moment h8machine is comprised of some talented european musicans that have stepped in to play live concerts with me. So I cannot speak for others, as for lyrics I am the only person that writes the lyrics for the band. After the Dying Breed release , I became more aware of the legal issues that people had to deal with with selling or even possessing the cd. For me, you contribute nothing to any cause while sitting in jail. When starting h8machine, there were plenty of bands that sang forbidden subject matter.

If you wanna progress any further with anything, you need to have a broader vision. The subject matter of h8machine was something people in and out of the movement can listen to and possibly relate to.

5., You had several great projects in the past like "Downright Hateful". Are You currently involved into other musical projects?

Recently I have done some vocals tracks for a band Round H8 our of france, and With Thrima Old Firm compliation.

6., Currently the American WP scene has a bad period, a lot of bands disappeared, the activity of the scene is not so high as in the 90s. What is your opinion about this?

Late 90's early 2000 was the best time for the US music scene. A lot of the bands were on the Panzerfause label, when panzerfaust shut down, the bands the concerts and the movement went with it. I think this just shows that a lot of people were just around for the good time and the concerts. The few that are left are clearly the stronger and actualy have convictions in their beliefs.

7., After President Donald Trump won the elections, a tension within the US society merged. What is your opinion on the current situation in the US? Do You support any type of activism?

The situation in the US is pretty volitle. With Trump being president, the left have lost their minds. They believe he is a racist homophobic etc, which is further from the truth. Trump is no different then the previous presidents. He is just another tool.

Because of the heightened situation here, large scale group activism is almost a death sentence. The government is doing its best to destroy any white nationalism of any kind.

Lone wolf stradigy is the best.

8., How is the everyday life as a White Nationalis in States nowadays? Are you politically active? If yes, is it easy to organise demos, events, gigs, etc. in your area?

See above.

9., As H8machine was amongst the bands which had the strongest impact on the nationalst HC scene, I assume, you were interested and involved into the Jersey HC scene. Which bands influenced you in the early years?

I grew up in New Jersey. I lived a short 15 min train ride to New York City. I would go to concerts at CBGB every sunday for a long time. I've seen pretty much any old hardcore band you can think of. One of the biggest influences for me in the HC music scene were bands like Judge, Turning Point, Cro Mags. But mostly Judge, and you can hear that in some of my recordings, musically and vocally.

10, H8machine is wellknown even within the ranks of the "normal+ HC scene. Did/do you have contacts to "mainstram" HC bands?

HAHA, yeah I have come across many that are in mainstram bands. I think its a kind of , "lets not talk politics" but hey we enjoy your music.

11, The current political situation in the world is quiet tough. How do you and American nationalist/NS people look on the Russian-American tensions? What is Your opinion on the North-Korean crisis?

The russian american tention is over blown by the media. The left have been blamming russia for the election being won by trump, etc. Its all bullshit. As for N Korea, What is the biggest obstacle to one world governance? A country that doesnt wanat to comply and be part of the system that the globalists have created. The US is known for overthrowing leaders in order to instill US ideals. I believe thats all the N korea situation is about. We no nothing about what is going on there, and that bothers the globalists.

12, What are the plans with the band? Any new releases nowadays?

We released a cd last year called Fighting Solves Everything. I hope to keep on writting some new material and we have some gigs planned for new year in Europe.

13, Do you follow the musical scene of the current US scene? In Your opinion, are there any WP bands in the US currently which could be interesting for you?

HAHA what music scene?

14, Do you know anything about the Hungarian movement?

I was there some years ago. I have very little memory of that as everyone was trying to make me drink! But you are a strong people and I look forward to going back some day!

15, If You have something to say or any last words, please feel free to tell it now

I addressed this issue on the new cd in a song called "whoes side you on?" Please stop wearing band shirts by left wing antifa bands. Bands like Hate Breed, or madball. etc. Just because they have "hate " in the name or sing about topics you think relate to you. These people are Antifa. I see this all the time at concerts and it is crazy. Its ok to appreicate a bands music, but when you wear a symbol (a shirt) of a band that would fight you till death because of your beliefs, you look like a hypocrite. When you wear their clothing, you represent what they believe.

thanks for the interview . Keep fighting!!
