Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance (Resistance 2) English Subtitles
Music claimed to come from North Korea. I added images.
On August 28, 2012 I received this message:
We have a confession to make and an important message to share. The Pyongyang Hardcore Resistance members are not North-Korean and this project took place outside of North-Korea for the entire time. We are sorry for everyone who believed in us, you have the right to be angry, but I hope that you can eventually forgive us. We still have no intention to reveal who we really are. This project was never about our egos, it was about giving hope for people, so I hope you understand that we are not looking for an ego boost now nor are we still looking for trouble. PHR was also partly an experiment to make hardcore techno and breakcore music more known in Korea, so yes, there was also a selfish aspect to it. Some of you might have figured out who some of the members are. However we will never admit this publicly and if someone claims to be PHR they are lying and only seeking attention. This is the only right way to end the PHR.
Why are we telling the truth now? Because the misinformation and lies in our world must come to an end. This is 2012, the year when curtains will be lifted and lies far bigger in scope than PHR will be revealed to the world. By being honest we wish to clear our conscience and give our contribution to the new more transparent and loving world that is ahead.
I hope that our listeners can still enjoy the final PHR tracks. The tracks Resistance 5-8 started to take form somewhere around 2008 after the first PHR release came out. Due to other engagements, and because we didn’t know which direction to take them, they are only ripe now, 4 years later.
We are still wishing for a peaceful reunification of the Koreas. This problem is much deeper than capitalism vs communism or the leaders who give speeches on TV, but this problem is not going to go on forever. Hang in there and never lose hope, we love you Korea!
Also remember to support South-Korean hardcore and, when the day finally arrives, support Pyongyang’s underground hardcore scene!
This is our final message (also included with the 2nd and final release). Our Myspace site has acted as our sole official information channel. There have been false interviews spreading around the internet, so whatever you saw that was not mentioned on our blog has got nothing to do with us. The Myspace site will be deleted some time after this final release, but we will have it up for long enough, so that enough witnesses can confirm that this release and message are indeed real. Any supposed statements by us that you might see after the deletion are fake. The only statements can be found in the music that we have left behind.
Thank you for your support and farewell!
