Hey there,
time for the first newsletter of 2022.
To start it off, let us begin with the topic that dominates most people’s minds right now – the ongoing offense of Russia against the Ukrainian population.
As anyone who has followed us for a while now will know, we are strictly against war – though it dominates most of our music. It’s an atrocity, nothing to be celebrated or wished for. On the other hand, we have never been quiet on our disdain for Nationalist views, national states and the glorification of political leaders and parties.
As such, our message in this situation is clear – support the Ukrainian refugees, as well as all the other people still fleeing conflicts in their homelands. Support those who stand up and fight oppression in these times – the Ukrainian population, but also all those who resist the Russian government, go out to protest and risk arrests or even their lives.
Here are a few organisations which actively support refugees right now:
Anarchist Black Cross: abcdd.org/en
Seawatch: sea-watch.org/en
Mission Lifeline: mission-lifeline.de/en/
Since last December, Fucking Kill Records released the vinyl version of our collaboration with NOIR. You can still get a copy here: fuckingkillrecords.bandcamp.com/album/minenfeld-noir-dolchsto-fear
Also, the NIGHT RAID longsleeves that were on preorder have arrived and are available in our shop. The NIGHT RAID LPs and Tapes are completely sold out though – a repress is on its way but could take a few months.
