Combat 18 and HMV Records

NO PLATFORM | 24.12.2011 16:56 | Anti-racism

Puting a searchlight on fash fund-raising

William James Browning aka Will the Beast.
Leader of C-18 since the mid 1990’s, and person behind ISD Records, the main British Fascist record label.
Browning had his own band and probably the worst for spewing out vile racist threats, the infamous NO Remorse.  http://slackbastard.anarchobase.com/?p=10640
ISD records and No Remorse have generated tens of thousands of pounds yearly for Browning and his cronies in the neo-nazi movement without any trouble from the authorities, or in truth the Anti-fascist movement. Many in the far-right believe him to be a state operative, hence his free reign.
Browning owns at least two properties bought through selling Nazi CDs. But it is widely believed he has up to seven including 3 outside of the U.K.

 http://www.thisisjersey.com/latest/2009/11/18/i-am-not-a-racist-says-island-tattooist/

Word is Browning has now sold ISD records and its backlog of CDs for a reported £40,000 and is concentrating on his “secret” project Ironage records.  http://www.ironagerecords.com/
In the past few years Browning has been putting on gigs at The Bridge House 2 at Canning Town, and forging links into the underground Black Metal circuit.

 http://www.thisisjersey.com/latest/2009/11/21/2000-was-for-gigs-not-racist-cds/

Keen to keep his head below water and away from the tax man and anti-fascists he has been successful up until now.
A google of Ironage records company number 06358126

 http://www.cdrex.com/ironage-records-ltd-2414413.html

Note the address of the company is Deptford where Browning owns a property. This address is an accommodation agency we believe, but nice and near to his home all the same.
Now when we look into who registered the Ironage Records website it comes back as Melanie Huter and is put down at an accommodation address down in London

 http://whois.domaintools.com/ironagerecords.com

So, who is Melanie Huter ? Well a google of her name brings up her details on a list of Blood & Honour Nazis, you may also note that tattooist and “not a nazi” John Denny Mallen is also on this list of active fascists!!!

 https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?5168-Know-your-fascists-(-1-ww2-memorabilia-collectors)

Huter is believed to be a girlfriend of Browning and is running the Ironage distribution from Belgium.
Now when we refer to Ironage records Myspace site  http://www.myspace.com/ironagerecords we come across a band called NO Remorse – NO Retreat.  http://www.noremorsenoretreat.com Hmmm, sound familiar? And oddly if you search the net, there are no photos of this band (except one on google images that’s clearly fake) no names of the band members and they do not do live gigs, just bring out CDs.

 http://scumfeastmetal666.blogspot.com/2010/03/no-remorse-no-retreat-warbringer-cd.html

Even more strange the lyrics of their songs could almost be as dumb ass as the original nazi NO Remorse, but rather changing the lyrics to songs about Der Fuhrer to songs about Viking Warriors. And when you listen to the songs, the vocalists voice although clearly altered/warped has a distinct sound very like Big Jacko the nazi No Remorse warbler. When you look at the track listing with titles such as Will of Iron, Fight or Die, We March, Heroes Never die, When Tomorrow Comes etc etc, a very nasty nazi picture arises
Now, referring back to the myspace link above, there is a list on that page of distributors of Ironage records, including HMV no less!!!!

One wonders how Browning has managed to get away with becoming rich during a long career peddling race hate material with impunity. We hope that by bringing this out people in the Anti-Fascist movement will look into this further and bring this sorry episode to an end.

Boycott HMV until they stop selling this vile filth

I felt sick reading that post, i hope HMV are made aware of just who they are funding. This was the guy who was involved in sending parcel bombs to Sharon Davis wasn't it? And now he is the Mickey Most of heavy metal. Totally amazing he has got away with this. I hope the proverbial stuffing is knocked out of him.

That photo looks very homo-erotic, could almost have been taken in a gay Soho bar. Then again there is a history of homosexual activity in the Nazi movement going all the way back to Ian stewart himself and his switch-hitter lover Nicky Crane.

24.12.2011 19:25

What strikes me about this piece is that the cowardly scum is hiding behind the skirt of his girlfriend. His name i doubt will be on anything, rather he puts the dairy onto her, with all the business and bank accounts trailing back to her door. Still, if you saddle up with monsters such as this browning what else can you expect.
Combat 18 were the gang who terrorized Frank Brunos mother and sent the bomb to sharon davies, also attacked a female school teacher in halifax if i recall correct. Seems they are a real bunch of gentlemen.
Someone on here must be able to look into the business account details of this Ironage records and expose just who is on the payroll and whom besides HMV has been funding them.
well done yet again indymedia for airing this.

I worked for a guy in Camden who had a metal label guy was an idiot but PHD would not touch the stuff even though some of the bands were selling a lot and the label guy paid a lot in advertising and marketing. It don't make sense how this Nazi scum bag and misogynist got Distribution.

Actually it's this lot that distribute it:

CODE7 use PHD to get it into stores like HMV. While the band No remorse No retreat are not blatantly Nazi, there are definite fash undertones and this sort of shit can only be subliminally brain washing metalers

Feel sad for the Band's who have been conned!

24.12.2011 20:21

The Bands apart from his on the label are not Politically Motivated it’s sad they have been hoodwinked by a Nazi who wanted to Murder People. Its amazing WB has so much time on his hands. I'm surprised he's not up North with his new C18 Chum’s “The Infidels" and his best mate and Nazi "Snowy". He could get Snowy to flog his CD's if HMV removes "No Remorse - No Retreat" I'm sure the Infidels will love the Retard's Band!

If he is connected to these morons, it is likely he is funding them via the record label, in which case, is i not illegal to fund a terrorist organisation?

HARD EVIDENCE REQUIRED

27.12.2011 14:23

A Google search for "Will+Browning" "No+Remorse+No+Retreat" produces no evidence other than this Indymedia post, and while circumstantial evidence such as the band's name, the Ironage Records website using a British Monomarks postal address, links to the Bridge House in Canning Town etc, seem consistent with the view that No Remorse No Retreat is connected to Will Browning's original No Remorse, this post hasn't provided any hard evidence, and needs to asap

To put this in perspective, one NRNR CD is advertised on the HMV website on a "1 to 2 weeks" delivery basis, which means they don't have the CDs in stock but order them through an intermediary distributor, and since NRNR's music is not openly Nazi, in the absence of any real proof, that's not sufficient grounds for condemning HMV

HMV regularly sell CDs by Nazi goth-ish berks Death In June however and by a National Socialist Black Metal Band called Hate Forest, holding at least one Hate Forest CDs in stock for immediate dispatch. Again, neither of these bands have the courage to openly state their political beliefs, but it's an open secret DIJ are Strasserite Nazis and Hate Forest are discussed on many NSBM web forums (Hate Forest have split by the way).

HMV also sell CDs by avant-Nazi noise groups Non and Whitehouse. Whitehouse's sole long-term member William Bennett saying his music is "concerned with the struggle against the unhealthy Negroid influence in popular music" is one of William Bennett's less offensive contributions to modern society (William Bennett now performs using the name Cut Hands) -

Maciej Zurowski discredited

31.12.2011 01:46

The post above does indeed contain good research, but the "Minty" comment is right to point out that the evidence presented in the original post is still only circumstantial, and that it needs to be genuinely conclusive before it can be taken seriously as grounds for actual Anti-Fascist campaigning. Anti-Fascists have finite resources of time and energy and won't be taken seriously or be successful if they don't focus on allegations that are conclusively proven. The post is right to alert everyone to its allegations, but more convincing research needs to be presented before launching campaigns that won't succeed unless their arguments are factually conclusive.

As for "Wilf's shrivelled bellend" saying that the Minty comment links "to a thread which is nothing to do with real anti-fascism" and (which) "and as Maciej Zurowski has pointed out merely discredits it", there is a post on Who Makes The Nazis attributed to one Maciej Zurowski, but that post a/ illustrates a passage about "Nazi Triumphs" author Peter Sotos with a photograph of the wrong person (musician Boyd Rice from Non), and b/ far from discrediting it, the Maciej Zurowski post does not in fact discuss the specific Indymedia thread at all. The Maciej Zurowski post also states that Peter Sotos pioneered "a sub-current of industrial music christened power electronics", but the term "power electronics" was instead coined by William "Buchenwald" Bennett, and Peter Sotos joined Bennett's band long after its idiotic political and musical philosophies had already been "pioneered" by Bennett. The gist of Maciej Zurowski's conclusion - that the likes of David Cameron make the risible self-publicists at the avant-Nazi end of "extreme" music look like boy-scouts - is insultingly obvious, and is equally misleading, because the same argument could be used to discourage Anti-Fascists from campaigning against Nick Griffin, and because no-one ever said that exposing these pricks is MORE important than combating the forces of mainstream government. Maciej Zurowski is also disingenuous and dishonest in attempting to dismiss opposition to these wankers on grounds of the superfluous observation that some of their activities date back to the 1980s, firstly because the post that Zurowski is alleged to have "discredited" proves much of this activity took place much more recently than the 1980s, and secondly because Anti-Fascism by definition opposes an ideology whose activities go back even further (right back in fact to the 1920s).

Entrpreneur not a Nazi

02.01.2012 12:00

William Browning since coming to mainland Britain from Jersey in the mid nineties to his return in 2009, has been nothing but an assett to the organised anti fa movement in Europe.

He has openly worked along with Darren Wells on two books and one television programme about the right with Gerry Gable and Nick Lowles and contributed to many Searchlight articles.

To this date he is still in contatct with all the above people mentioned.

Although I do not agree with the fact that both Wells and Browning were "well" paid for all information and co - operation given, we should not be paying these people at all.

His "record" on the right is one of continued infighting and splits and chosen allies are continually exposed as State agents, both in Britain and mainland Europe. ie Darren Wells, Carsten Szepanski,Sebastien Seaman....


This man comes from a very wealthy background in Jersey and I think as he said at his recent trial for distributing nazi cds that he has just been in it for the money.

He is an entrepreneur more than a political idealist and under his leadership Combat 18
helped caused as much infighting and violence as the organised left.

The above article is mostly conjecture and malcontent.....probably from the right.

@Red Rooster - so, Browning's current involvement with north west infidels and his 'advisory' role to Snowey shaw is a money making ploy, or as part of a state/Searchlight op then? Is that what you are saying? I know for fact that he was on NWI Leeds demo, well, in the pub anyway as it was raining....

It is about time that someone murdered Will Browning and the rest of the Neo Nazi's on this planet. I hate Neo Nazi's and would kill them if I had the chance.
They are all pathetic unintelligent wimps who need to bully people to feel tough.
As for the Aryan genetic. Their genetics is inferior to my African genes, I would kill all of them with my eyes closed.
I recommend that you destroy all Combat 18 and no remorse products
and kill yourselves.
