Free Your Mind Productions
Free Your Mind Productions was a far-right American independent label that succeeded Panzerfaust Records . The label was based in Valdosta , Georgia .
Label history
In 2005, Panzerfaust Records closed after it became known that its founder, Anthony Pierpont, had a Mexican mother and that he shared an email about having had sex with Asian prostitutes . Bryant Cecchini (also known by the pseudonym Byron Calvert) took control of the website and redirected it to Free Your Mind Productions. Both Cecchini, an aging skinhead , and his partner Tom Martin , webmaster of the site, subsequently distanced themselves from Pierpont in order to save the label's tarnished reputation.
Like its predecessor company, the band worked with the Hammerskins , the Popular Front and White Revolution and, together with Resistance Records, was the largest mail order company and the most important record company on the US white power scene for a number of years .
Free Your Mind Productions continued the business of Panzerfaust Records seamlessly. Among other things, the label had access to the entire back catalog. Own productions were the album One Less Reason to Smile by H8Machine , the H8Machine project Downright Hateful and Blood Red Eagles album Burning Down the Churches .
