VIRANESIR: BANNED FROM BANDCAMP FOR UN-PC TRACK TITLES

Turkish/UK based black metal project VIRANESIR has sent both a written and video statement explaining his disappointment as his project was banned from BANDCAMP over offensive track titles.








VIRANESIR brand of black metal features (hopefully in satire) controversial song titles. 





VIRANESIR  released KOAS GARDEN: "BURN THE HOMELESS" 4/16/2015 via MERDUMGIRIZ.

ITP V.015 EDITORS NOTE: ITP does not support NATIONAL SOCIALISTS, homophobia, nor fascist, nazi philosophies. However, irrelevant to philosophical disagreements, I do support first amendment rights. I assume the "shock value" of VIRANESIR's track titles are the most attention he will get, over riding the musical value as a non PC "gimmick", done in satirical style that some people didn't "get". .  VIRANESIR track titles remind me of ANAL CUNT. S.O.D. lyrical satire. VIRANESIR's "gimmick" back fired as he (WAS) on a digital music server he does not OWN with rules about hate speech.
The most genuine form of expression, and real freedom of speech is done, completely independently. When playing in someones else's sandbox your are submissive to their rules.   

FROM VIRANESIR:
 Press release about the Bandcamp incident available.
"You may or may not noticed that Merdumgiriz Records artist Viranesir have been banned from the online music store Bandcamp last week without any notice or explanation. I inquired about it many times without any answer. Not that I did not guess why, but I needed an explanation at least for them to live up to their word of "Discover amazing music and directly support the artists who make it." and at least respect all the money they made off from their cut from my Viranesir sales before they suddenly swiped all the music I had up there for which I was counting on them to represent on not only my own but my labels website and all social media accounts, which still I haven't gotten around to replacing with another alternative online streaming service.
My name is Emir Togrul and I am from southern Turkey. Very conservative place, from which I broke out somehow. Now I live in London England and run a Guerilla Record Company called Merdumgiriz for which I hand-make all the releases and merchandise. I have artists from USA, Canada, Italy, Austria, Iceland to name a few. I refuse to expand the label because I am on a quest to prove that total independence in art is possible and that fine art is a craft... Hence I hand-make every single thing and encourage my artists to do so as well. I make a very modest living but I get through, and the satisfaction I get from this work is just orgasmic. I am a Satanist and a libertine, I live life asking questions and constantly walking the dark. There is a lot of darkness in the world and I walk those paths rather than pretending they are not there. In my 24 years of existence, I have come to many realizations mainly through art, which to me is the highest occult! The biggest realization was the fact that the more you explore the dark, the more you understand it and it ceases to become a problem. I think life can become a very beautiful experience for every living thing when they go on a quest to understand darkness rather than neglecting it into a cancer.
Viranesir was formed as one of my side projects to fuel my main bands YAYLA and BLLIIGGHHTTED. Over time it became a crazy project with crazy music and crazier subject matter! I have songs called " Heil Hitler!", "Armenian Genocide Is Amazing", "Child Molesting Rapist Murderer", "I Only Like Jews When They Kill Muslims", "I Only Like Gays When They Scream Like The Opposite Sex As I Rape Them". I am not a nazi, nor a homphobe. I am half Turkish half Armenian (not exactly Aryan now is it:), and bisexual (aka I proudly suck cock). Not to say I have never been offensive, I have been very offensive... The most offensive thing I have ever done was to put Hitler's name on an album on the cover of which I appear in drag (neo-nazis must have got very offended by this, I apologize guys), and saying I Love Torturing Defenseless Creatures And Eating Them referring to what I enjoy everyday as a meat eater, or perhaps say Rats Flock Into The Temple referring to Muslims (need I say more). All I ever did was to pull these taboo subjects out of their untouchable contexts and open them up for discussion, because they are very stupid and personally through a sense of humor, better be opened up for discussion in my opinion. The idiots in bandcamp didn't get it and banned me, big deal.
What if a band is really a fucking nazi or homophobic band?
I really feel sorry for them because they will be shut up. Oh yes, I feel sorry for Homophobic, Rapist, Supremacist, Seperatist musicians and all those people. How evil I must seem to some for feeling sorry for confused people trying to express themselves through art. And the ones shutting them up will not even give them an explanation as if it was the word of Allah that they be shut up. I was suicide bombed by Jihadists of bandcamp last week, I was there and no longer am without any explanation. All my presence wiped out. Suddenly and effectively I am completely gone. Who am I to break the word of their Allah with my art? who am I to question their divine law of "Political Correctness".
You have not stopped abuse bandcamp, you just stopped someone expressing abuse. There will be no less racist, sexist, pedophile, abusive people in the world because of what you did, there will just be less people thinking about those subjects. I congratulate you! I will continue making Entartete Kunst, wether pieces of shit like you allow me to be on your website or not! Fascist SCUM!!!" - Emir
People keep talking about the contract I signed with bandcamp and they have the right to ban me and shit. I can't believe how stupid people are, but here is a response I gave to one of those fucks which sums up all that discussion.
"Dear Jeff, can you not think in terms of law for one second? that will be the moment that you wake up like neo does in the matrix. What the gave you the idea that I respect law... I do not care about the law, I ain't no law worshipping, tax paying citizen like a lot of you retards. I do not believe in law. I do not believe that I am a being that should be governed by a law written by someone else in whoevers seemingly foreseen benefit. I am not going to say, ohh I signed a contract hence I told them how I would behave, therefore I must abide. This is bullshit! I believe that I should be able to say whatever I want to say in an open platform and I believe that it is the persons responsibility to not get offended, not the persons responsibility not to offend. If one is living in a country governed by Sharia law, one agrees not to be gay or drink alcohol, would you then say I am sorry Viranesir, but you must die and cite me the laws then smartass?"
