Novacosm - Everything Forever EP (plus enhanced CD)
A Review by Troy Jewell from www.ink19.com

"Novacosm's debut Everything Forever is more than a detour of a neo-nazi's past. It is a heavenly record espousing the opposite; the band (and the record) exhibits the 'power of music' to transform lives -- for good and bad -- and to challenge oneself." Read the whole article HERE.

Hate Rock to Spiritual Revelation - The Transformation of George Burdi
An Interview by Brian W. Blueskye

This interview is based upon George Burdi's life in the white supremacy movement, his personal transformation, and George Burdi today. Today, George lives in Toronto, Canada with his wife and continues to write music with his new band, Novacosm while also starting other musical projects. The anti-racist movement still does not know how to take this transformation; many activists are left wondering and shocked - including me.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

George Burdi acquires rights to his band, Novacosm [TORONTO] –

George Burdi, singer/songwriter for Novacosm, has agreed to terms with Legacy Media Corp., a Toronto-based indie, to release him from his three-album obligation. Rights to all previous Novacosm recordings were acquired at the same time for an undisclosed sum.

“This move will enable the band to go to the next level,” says Burdi. “We can bring in outside investors, entertain recording contracts and distribution deals, and completely control the artistic process.”

Plans for the immediate future include the free distribution of their entire album via MP3.com. But doesn’t a band need to earn a living? “In my days with Rahowa, I loved the artistic purity fostered by the non-commercialization of our music. Novacosm has been too much sensation and not enough art, and we mean to change that. Giving our music away for free is a step in the right direction. The funny thing is, when you have this re-focus, your music is better, and you make more money anyway.” The band still intends to sell their CDs for those who would prefer the highest fidelity copy.

What other plans are in the bands future? “We’re working on a new album, a video, and an upgrade to our website. We want to add a forum, which judging from some of the amazing emails I get, will keep our homepage interesting.”

VH1 Special

In this one hour special, VH1 attempts to penetrate the surface of the complex world of skinhead hatecore music. The producers do a good job of compiling a vast panorama of elements, presented in cinema verite, in which they create honest human portraits of people that are hard to understand but easy to demonize.
