Resistance Records is a racist music label which produces and sells music by Neo-Nazi musicians, primarily through its website. Advertising itself as "The Soundtrack For White Revolution," Resistance Records also publishes a magazine called Resistance Magazine, and is a subsidiary of the National Alliance (itself a subsidiary of National Vanguard Books, Inc).
The label was founded in Windsor, Ontario in 1993 by neo-Nazi George Burdi. In 1997 it was temporarily put out of business by a tax dispute and a prosecution for distributing materials that promoted hatred in Canada. Burdi eventually ended up serving a 2 year jail sentence, after which he renounced racism and formed an ethnically diverse band. Resistance Records was then bought out by Willis Carto, who later sold the company to William Pierce, head of the National Alliance.
Among the acts signed to Resistance was Burdi's own RAHOWA (short for "Racial Holy War"), which disbanded after Burdi renounced neo-Nazism.
Resistance Records owns several smaller labels, most notably black metal labels Cymophane Records and Unholy Records. At one time, it operated a web-based radio station, Resistance Radio, which streamed racist music across the internet 24 hours a day.
The record label is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Computer games
Ethnic Cleansing is a racist computer game developed by Resistance Records. In the game, the player can choose between being a racist skinhead or a Klansman that runs through a ghetto murdering black and latino people, before descending into a subway system to murder Jews. Finally the player reaches the "Jewish Control Center", where Ariel Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel, is directing plans for world domination. There is a small video loop of William Pierce's speech displayed in the game. The player must kill Sharon to win the game. This game uses the Reality Factory 3D engine. This game has several music tracks to choose from.
White Law is a racist computer game developed by Resistance Records, a sequel to Ethnic Cleansing. In the game, the player is only an ex-policeman, ousted due to political views. The player has more weapon choices, and can play in more levels. The player runs through several buildings, murdering other policemen, and a few other people, including a child pornographer, news broadcast workers, and the Kapital City Police Chief. The player must kill the Police Chief to win the game. This game uses the Reality Factory 3D engine.
