[edit] Controversy

The lyrics to "A Scream to Express the Hate of a Race" were frequently misinterpreted as being racist. As a result, Vladimir issued the following statement on Mirrorthrone's website:

This is an answer to the polemic which is current at the moment on the Internet. No, Mirrorthrone is NOT racist, nazi, white pride or whatever you call it. The lyrics of the song "A Scream to Express the Hate of a Race" target the human race in its entirety. It attacks what is called the "nihilism" of a certain form of society that has been spreading around the globe and that envelops the "moral, social, religious and scientific" paradigms.
