Despite numerous protests, the neo-Nazi band that combines folk
inspired music with the electric sounds of heavy metal and nationalist
lyrics, as the New York Times branded Croatian singer Marko Perkovic
Thompson, will perform in America, after all.
Ahead of the American tour that Thompson is scheduled to start in a week, the American media once again denounced the singer for glorifying the Ustasha regime and Nazism.
While many songs glorify God, love and family, the singer and writer glorifies war and Croatia’s Nazi past because of which Jewish and Serb protests against his two concerts scheduled next month have begun, the New York Times writes.
Alarmed Jewish organisations
At concerts so far Thompson was greeted by filled halls with Ustasha signs and an audience that often make the Nazi salute. The director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, Mark Weiztman, commented:
I think that celebrating destruction and the horror of World War II is
something despicable.
