George Burdi's controversial past serves as the landscape upon which the music is presented.Once an internationally renowned neo-Nazi leader and the frontman of notorious haterock band RAHOWA (an acronym for Racial Holy War), Burdi left the movement in 1997 and never looked back. He always expressed himself best through music, and his life experiences took shape in songs that would eventually become Novacosm. If RAHOWA was the soundtrack to white revolution, Novacosm is the thematic music that defines a self-evolution. "It may be hard for people to understand the shift in the paradigm I've experienced," says Burdi. "I know it has definitely been hard for me. Today I select my companions based on their merit as individuals, not on their race or their political opinions. No other approach could withstand the weight of my experiences with people." Teaming up with English expatriate B. Valentine on bass, and Sy Sylver, a guitarist gigging with DJs in Toronto nightclubs, the music that emerged has quickly overshadowed the drama of the band's story. Richly produced and filled with dynamic contrasts, Novacosm is a lyrical journey through the heart of a man searching for meaning.
