Traces of Aryanism in a Heavy Metal Song

In my post on the Storytelling Front of the ongoing Aryan Kampf, I mentioned that littles bits of Aryanism can be seen in many places and, perhaps, even in greatly unexpected places. Films and television programs are perhaps the easiest place to look as they are both very popular and, in general, very available mediums. However, I'd like to introduce another medium here: music. Most people tend to enjoy music like they do movies, on a simple level. This means that they don't explore deeper themes that surely the creating artist must have been aware of or even outright intended to convey.

Metallica have been a popular band ever since their debut album from 1983 entitled Kill 'em All was released. On a surface level examination, they write pretty standard heavy metal music with all the fast riffing, blazing solos and pounding bass and drums that heavy metal fans get a kick out of. However, their enduring success seems to suggest that there is something more about them and in particular their music. Many bands come and go, many are just one hit wonders, and even many of those that have a lengthy career rarely reach as many people as Metallica. Surely luck plays a part, but it can't explain all of Metallica's success. There is a profound artistry to many of their songs, especially from albums before 1991, that most heavy metal bands never even come close to achieving.

Guitarist, front man and main song writer, James Hetfield, was raised in a strict Christian household and religious motifs can be seen in his lyrics. Songs like "The Four Horsemen" may be obvious, but many more contain much more universal spiritual and metaphysical aspects. It's an element of Metallica's music that most headbanging heavy metal fans probably don't pick up.

Here are the complete lyrics to the song "...and Justice for All." Read and Listen.

Halls of Justice Painted Green
Money Talking
Power Wolves Beset Your Door
Hear Them Stalking
Soon You'll Please Their Appetite
They Devour
Hammer of Justice Crushes You
Overpower

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price You Pay
Nothing Can Save You

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
So True
So Real

Apathy Their Stepping Stone
So Unfeeling
Hidden Deep Animosity
So Deceiving
Through Your Eyes Their Light Burns
Hoping to Find
Inquisition Sinking You
With Prying Minds

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price You Pay
Nothing Can Save You

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
So True
So Real

Lady Justice Has Been Raped
Truth Assassin
Rolls of Red Tape Seal Your Lips
Now You're Done in
Their Money Tips Her Scales Again
Make Your Deal
Just What Is Truth? I Cannot Tell
Cannot Feel

The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price We Pay
Nothing Can Save Us

Justice Is Lost
Justice Is Raped
Justice Is Gone
Pulling Your Strings
Justice Is Done
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
So True
So Real
Seeking No Truth
Winning Is All
Find it So Grim
So True
So Real

The song has obvious political themes as it describes corruption in the justice system. The line that stands out the most is the first line of the chorus, it is repeated three times throughout the song: "The Ultimate in Vanity." Does that by any chance remind the reader of a particular group often discussed here? From that view point, doesn't the rest of the song seem to make a profound sense? Like in They Live there is no direct and obvious connection to the International Jew, but isn't it interesting how well these lyrics describe him?

The lines "apathy their stepping stone" and "inquisition sinking you with prying minds" are also particularly relevant to the reality of the Zionist crime network, which proceeds if people are apathetic to their parasitizing of the World, though invariably most people are simply not aware of it. This means that few are actually fighting against Zionism and thus the aforementioned "inquisition" can readily "sink" them with "prying minds" - mearly disagreeing with the ZC approved version of history is a crime in many nation states.

Note that the third time the chorus is repeated, there is slight change in the lyrics. The "I can't believe the price you pay" becomes "I can't believe the price we pay." This is precisely what is "so grim, so true, so real." Everyone suffers and apathy is effectively suicide by way of sloth.

The song is the title track to Metallica's 1988 album. Note the cover art:

Just who is pulling those ropes?
And who is overloading those scales with funny money?

The cover art has a dual meaning, as the falling statue can also be seen as the fall of art and culture from excessive commercialization. After all, it is a classical marble rendition of Lady Justice. The album name in the corner looks as if it was spray painted and that is essentially blunt vandalism, but given the wider themes in the image, it is vandalism of not just justice, but also of art, of culture; in short vandalism of vital aspects of Nobility.

Overall though, Metallica's music, as well as that of any other band in the mainstream, is not genuinely Aryan. The traces of Aryanism are likely just general attempts to convey honor and to look at corruption, but given the rock and roll lifestyle - Metallica's nickname for a while was "Alcoholica" due to their drunken reputation, even on stage - these musings amount to basically just wishful thinking. A typical slave wants to be free or richer or anything to improve his present state, but what does he really do? He just keeps on working so as not to get beaten. Wishful thinking doesn't accomplish anything by itself. Metallica have never been activists nor have they deserted from the formation put together by their corporate masters to pursue the messages in their songs, thus it must be asked, do they actually believe in them?

Music can be a very powerful medium and I propose that a Pan-Aryan anthem be composed. Perhaps an update of "Die Fahne Hoch" the classic NSDAP anthem to which I translated and updated the lyrics. However, that work is a piece of history and the anthem suggested above may very well be a new composition altogether. Though an updated musical arrangement/remix of the classic "Horst Wessel Lied" would be great! I suggest consulting the main theme to the Aryan themed film Cutthroat Island (I also wrote about the film on this blog) to see just how powerful music can be. The many versions of the NSDAP anthem that I have found online do not come very close to matching the musical power of this piece. This Aryanist thinks that it's about time that changed.
