A Message from Vlrk, the singer of Grendel, about his experiences with the US authorities on the hunt for terrorists:
Very bad news: I have been in detention for the last two days, trying to get into the US from Canada. I have been rejected on the basis of apparently being a spreader/carrier of `obscene and communist political extremist` material (total bullshit) based on the following:
- T-shirts: Feindflug `Volk und Armee`, Combichrist `Enjoy the Abuse`, one depicting a Kolasjnikov gun and some rockabilly shirts by Monster & Felon.
- CD`s: Suicide Commando, Leaetherstrip `Suicide Bombers` and two Laibach CDs.
- Lyrics sheet of Grendel. Didn`t include the band name or titles, so they probably thought it was speech or something.
I was not even asked about these, but simply accused right there an then of having these on me to spread/sell. All of this was for my personal use, the t-shirts had all been used previously and the CD`s were only with the corresponding booklets, one original of each, in my CD folder. Also, I didn`t realise the cold war was still going on.. Can you say: Good night & good luck? As soon as these items were found, the border control officer made a note of these on the computer system and I believe it was at this point I was already blacklisted.
Then came being accused of being a `fulltime professional musician` (also bullshit – based on the amount of albums released) and trying to enter the US without a work permit. I was not carrying any gear or merchandise with me, as that was given to someone else by car to avoid all of this. Even then, they got me. Reason for this being them searching my CD`s and looking up the websites on them, such as on the copies of two Grendel releases I had with me in my CD folder/booklet. They found the picture of myself and the tour data. So that was the end of that.
Now I have been blacklisted for at least a year, meaning I cannot enter the US without requesting a work permit (costs around $3000). Tried it by plane and by train and have been in custody for a total of 16 hrs or more. Right now I`m in Montreal trying to figure out how to get back to Europe before April 7th, or else there`ll be a warant put on my name here. Total hell. Then there`s covering the losses of this tour, which will definitely not be easy.
