Christhunt Productions is a German record label from Leopoldshöhe , which specializes in Black Metal . In addition to recordings of non-political bands, Christhunt also publishes those of openly right-wing extremist bands such as Totenburg or Absurd .
history
Christhunt Productions was founded in 1996 by Marco Martin only as a distributor. In 1998 a demo by the band Cherusker was published for the first time under the publisher's name. The second release was a split 7 " by Moonblood and Inferno. Further EPs and singles followed. The first music album was the debut Mein Fleisch an sich Lip ... von Bluttaufe in 2000. LP versions of bands that were already published by other publishers such as No Colors Records or Nebelfee Klangwerke were under contract and the hundredth release was an album by the band Nachtfalke in DIN A5 digipak format.
In addition to bands like Magog or Totenburg, which can be clearly assigned to the NSBM , there are also politically inconspicuous bands on the label.
Indicated only that was previously Camulos - debut album The subhuman (called Christ) . The texts and presentation of the album were classified as dangerous for young people by the Federal Testing Office for Media Harmful to Young People. Christhunt Productions issued a statement in advance in which the political background of the band was played down. Christhunt Productions also refers to artistic freedom in the statement and takes pagan positions. The album was not indexed for political reasons, this was denied in the decision, but with regard to the brutal lyrics of the band and the violation of religious feelings.
The shipping attached to the label offers u. a. Sound carriers and T-shirts from the Black Metal underground , both from the normal publishing program of other distributors and typical NSBM bands from abroad.
The distribution was searched several times by the police , the last time on January 20, 2005. About 100 T-shirts and 700 sound carriers were seized. Several articles contained unconstitutional National Socialist symbols. As a reaction, the previously freely accessible forum became subject to registration. There was no official statement.
Magazines like Legacy no longer accept ads from the label. In 2007 the label was mentioned by the metal magazine Rock Hard in a list of right-wing metal labels as one of the "relevant well-known companies".
