FROM CAUSTIC:
Big respect to Out of Line #nazirivetsfuckoff
FROM FUNKER VOGT:
Gerrit:
That the choice asking Sacha Korn being the new singerof
Funker Vogt would generate some waves was clear at the moment we decided
it. That it would come in like a bomb shell is surprising us, since we
have thought the scene we are in since nearly 20 years wouldn’t be so
superficial.
So let’s talk about some basics concerning the band.
Those who know FUNKER VOGT understand quite well that decisions are not
just made out oft the blue. Everything with respect to that issue has
started upon a private, likeable level. Meaning between, Rene, me and
the thought asking Sacha joining the band.
I know Sacha through some
work we have done in 2011. What I did not know was a reputation address
to him by left wing internet freaks. Anyway we considered this disposed
reputation against him rather as narrow-minded than objective.
We
are not out to confront or provocate. And so we have decided not to
announce his entrance to FUNKER VOGT, as it was clear that some people
would abuse exactly this situation to push Sacha in a corner in order to
damage Funker Vogt. Especially broken hearts and aggrieved souls are
open for such attacks.
We are really sorry, that our management and
the label were unconsciously pulled into that situation! But for above
mentioned reasons we did not even want to involve you into this, plus we
would not have thought this was going so huge.
Cause in the end in
doesn’t matter who sings in FUNKER VOGT, Pat the postman or Sacha Korn,
than even Sick Man. There is no ideology or similar in our lyrics.
There is no glorification or agitation in contrary to the campaign that
was started against us from some people.
And here are some words
from Sacha that people are talking about obviously without even taking a
minute to check his reputation.
René:
I am honestly shocked!
What the hell is going on here in Facebook!? Since yesterday I am
receiving emails from friends and other people who just don’t get the
point what the problem with Funker Vogt is?
Those people who demand
tolerance for themselves are not giving any back to others? The entire
dark scene is claiming tolerance towards themselves. Why is it not
possible to pay it back? Especially when all so called „facts“ are
basing on stupid pronouncements.
Sacha:
Hi, thanks for the
many supportive phone calls, email & texts that I have received from
all corners of the world congratulating me on joining up with Funker
Vogt. Wow this happened faster than I could have imagined. Just to make
things clear: yes I am proud of my country and I love my home "come on
man we just won the world cup" the same pride I felt years before when
the wall came down. As my many friends that I have met through music and
travel, who are proud of their land and culture know I am proud of
mine. Don't judge me get to know me, please don't hesitate to contact me
to clear up any untruths you may have heard. I look forward to hearing
from.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m -l-
