Q: What is the idea behind the cover artwork?
A: The cover artwork of "Anthems Of Resistance" shows what WPU stands for. You see a man, half crippled, alone in a vast landscape, probably scarred and unable to breath normally from confrontations that happened before. The question is how did he look before - probably just another uniformed conformist without his own opinion, brainwashed by media and modern trends. Now this guy has refused to go with the masses, developed his own opinion, removed his old badge from the uniform and replaced it with a WPU-badge, to show to anybody, that he is not a controlled puppet anymore. Standing true to his own emotions, beliefs and taste is getting harder and harder in this world controlled by multinational cooperations and dependent media, trying to sell people bullshit as "new trend" and "lifestyle", therefore manipulating weak people´s opinions. And this guy´s own strenght has cost him much on the outside (his hand, maybe his skin, sight, etc.), but mentally he kept strong. In short - he, just like WPU, gives a shit about trends, prefabricated and uneducated opinions and brainwashing. And as you can see in the background, there are more people just like him.
On the demo "The Art Of Resistance", you see him, back at the point where he finds himself in uniform like millions of others, but still all alone.
Q: Why does "Religion Of Control" start with a prayer?
A:
"Religion Of Control" is a story about young, poor and uneducated men being corrupted and brainwashed by their religious leaders. It was written under the influence of the killings during 9/11 and the following wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, with religious extremists killing not only innocent people, but also killing their own people and brothers in faith. It demonstartes perfectly how a peaceful religion can be perverted by extremists. While we are all but anti-religious, fanatism, no matter in which religion, is considered a thread to all we stand for.
Q: Will you put the lyrics online?
A: No. The lyrics are in the booklet of the CD.
Q: When will we see WPU live the next time?
A: Check the homepage, it will be announced then.
Q: Are or were the WPU members also in other bands?
A: All are or were. But we won´t promote them here.
Q: Are WPU Metalcore?
A: Fuck no! We´re not a fucking casting band with nice coloured tattoos paid by daddy, wearing what our record company tells us, dying our hair black and looking like a bunch of little boys or tough-guy wannabes. We have no raps, no hip hop beats, no superstupid moshparts and we never will.
Q: I´m a journalist and want a WPU CD
A: who isn´t nowadays? Check the Promotion section for info.
Q: Napalm and its partners won´t provide me with CDs. but I have a great webblog and 3-page underground zine only featuring the most brutal bands and I will make you popular in my country of Kazuelistan. I also wrote the same message to about 300 other bands. Hail Satan!
A: There might be a reason for it. We won´t send one either.
Q: I have a mailorder and will buy your CDs on comission.
A: Buy our CDs at Napalm, comission is rip-off!
Q: Will you trade for other CDs?
A: No.
Q: Will you link my band/webzine/something to your site?
