I am not really sure exactly where Adam Parfrey's Feral House publishing company is coming from ideologically. After a quick glance at the Feral House catalogue, he seems to be overly obsessed with the Church of Satan (CoS) and related material. Guilt by association is a caveat in research of this kind, but from a practical standpoint, if I were Parfrey, I am not sure I would want The Order and RaHoWa (Racial Holy War) associated elements in 'my space.'
According to Kevin Coogan's outstanding publication, How Black is Black Metal ? --mostly a critique and historical overview of Michael Moynihan's book, Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground , published by Feral House:[Anton] LaVey, who is often only seen as just a libertarian maverick, called for a new kind of fascism in a 1994 interview with Michael Moynihan in Seconds, Moynihan's essay, "The Faustian Spirit of Fascism," was also published in the Church of Satan's magazine, The Black Flame. LaVey even contributed an introduction to a new edition of "Ragnar Redbeard's" Might Is Right, a Nietzschean and Social Darwinist tract first published in 1896 which LaVey had liberally plagiarized in his own book, The Satanic Bible. The editor of the new edition of Might is Right is listed as Katja Lane. She is the wife of David Lane, an Odinist leader of the high-profile far right paramilitary group called the Order, who is now serving a life sentence for conspiring to murder a Denver radio personality named Alan Berg.
(The ultimate written account of The Order’s machinations is the book The Silent Brotherhood by Kevin Fllynn and Gary Gerhardt. Similarly, In Bad Company by Mark S. Hamm documents the exploits of Peter Langan and the ARA – Aryan Republican Army.)
The author of Might's after word is, arguably, even more "devilish"
than LaVey. He is none other than George Hawthorne, head of the white
racist musical group RaHoWa (Racial Holy War) and founder of Resistance
Records, whom Michael Moynihan interviewed for Seconds and The Black
Flame. Moynihan is also thanked in the new edition of Might Is Right
for helping make the book possible.
According to Alex Constantine: (…another excellent researcher, his books Virtual Government: CIA Mind Control Operations in America and Psychic Dictatorship in the USA, both published by Feral House, are amazing—there are also many online sources for his articles…)
Parfrey
is Jewish, the son of a concentration camp internee who, due to his
substandard diet, contracted sugar diabetes. Adam inherited the
illness. He has no affection for Nazis because they have made him sick,
and it is likely his life will be shortened as a result.
Oddly, any reference to Anton LaVey or CoS is notably absent in the 'About Us' section of the Feral House website.
Some people are of the opinion that Feral House is tainted because of the publisher's association with Michael Moynihan and CoS. At this point in time, I am undecided.
...under reconstruction...
