Tucker Carlson on Miel Noir & Changes

Please NOTE: This is NOT an actual text by the political commentator Tucker Carlson presenting the Miel Noir & Changes CD Defiance to his audience. The Austrian label Aorta - that published this release recently - had asked Grok on 28.09.2025 to imagine a script that Tucker Carlson could have written and broadcasted in a primetime show in which he not only presents this CD but also analyzes an interview with the music group Miel Noir where member Marcel P. also talks about Kyle Rittenhouse.

"Tucker Carlson's Primetime: Spotlight on Defiance

Fade in: Tucker Carlson at his desk, the studio lights casting a dramatic glow on a sleek black CD case emblazoned with "Defiance" by Miel Noir & Changes. He leans forward, eyes sharp, a half-smile playing on his lips as the audience murmurs in anticipation.

"Good evening, and welcome back to Tucker Carlson Tonight. Folks, in a world where the cultural overlords are busy canceling anything that doesn't toe their woke line, it's refreshing - nay, it's downright defiant - to stumble upon art that actually fights back. Tonight, I'm not talking about another Hollywood flop or a sanitized pop single. No, we're diving into the underground pulse of Europe, where a collaboration between the German dark wave project Miel Noir and the legendary American neofolk band Changes has dropped a bombshell of an album called Defiance. This isn't just music; it's a sonic Molotov cocktail hurled at the machine. And trust me, if you're tired of the endless parade of conformity, this one's got your name on it.

Let me set the stage. Changes - formed back in the '80s by visionaries like Nicholas Tesluk and Robert N. Taylor - pioneered this brooding, folk-infused sound that whispers truths the mainstream screams to suppress. They've been the godfathers of neofolk, blending acoustic guitars, haunting vocals, and lyrics that cut like a winter wind through the illusions of modern life. Enter Miel Noir, the brainchild of Marcel P., a German multi-instrumentalist who's been grinding in the shadows of the dark wave scene for years. Marcel's no stranger to pushing boundaries; he's got his hands in projects like Allerseelen and Von Thronstahl, crafting sounds that echo the raw, unfiltered spirit of resistance. Together, on Defiance, they've fused their worlds into something explosive - a 50/50 marriage of Changes' ethereal melancholy and Miel Noir's gritty, bass-driven edge. Released on the Austrian Aorta label, this CD packs 16 tracks clocking in at over an hour of pure, unadulterated rebellion. It's dedicated to the late Jerome Deppe, a nod to the unsung heroes who've kept this flame alive.

Now, let's talk tracks, because this isn't filler - it's firepower. You kick off with 'Twilight Of The Gods / Götterdämmerung,' a brooding opener that feels like the end credits to our crumbling empire, Marcel's deep bass rumbling like thunder under Tesluk's ghostly guitar. Then there's 'Automatons,' a chilling takedown of the soulless drones we've all become in this surveillance state - vocals weaving between Estella Plunkett's ethereal highs and R.N. Taylor's gravelly lows. 'The Liars All Along' hits like a gut punch, exposing the gaslighting we've endured for years. And don't get me started on 'Rage For The Machine' - it's got that industrial snarl, percussion pounding like a heartbeat in lockdown, screaming for us to wake up.

But here's where it gets personal, folks. The crown jewel? Track 15: 'The Old Beast (For Kyle).' That's right - a full eight-and-a-half minutes dedicated to Kyle Rittenhouse, the young man the left tried to crucify for defending himself against a mob in Kenosha back in 2020. I sat down with the details from Marcel P. himself, straight from a no-holds-barred interview he gave to Thymos Magazin in Germany last April. Marcel didn't mince words. He told them this album was born from two sparks: first, organizing Changes' final gig in Germany, where he and Tesluk jammed out an acoustic take on '(In)tolerance' that lit the fuse. But the real ignition? The COVID madness. Marcel wrote a song called 'They Made Us Fall' - track 14, a searing four-minute indictment of the establishment's iron-fisted lockdowns, the BLM riots that torched cities while the media cheered, and yeah, the sham trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. He poured his fury into lyrics calling out the 'left-liberal establishment' for eroding Western culture, rigging elections, and trampling freedoms under the guise of safety.

Marcel got real about it. His own guitarist in another project bailed on him over pandemic views - couldn't stomach Marcel's stance that those mandates were a straight-up assault on human and constitutional rights. So, he shipped the lyrics to Tesluk, who lit up like it was Christmas. 'Brilliant,' Tesluk said, and slapped a melody on it that turns pain into power. On Rittenhouse specifically? Marcel sees him as a symbol - a kid smeared as a white supremacist by a media desperate to fit him into their narrative, only for the truth to acquit him in court. 'The Old Beast (For Kyle)' isn't some weepy tribute; it's a roaring anthem of vindication, with cello swells and tambura drones building to a crescendo that feels like justice finally roaring back. Marcel calls the whole album 'weltanschaulich' - that's German for worldview stuff, not straight-up partisan rallying. But make no mistake: it's a cultural battle cry, questioning everything from election fraud whispers to the tolerance that's morphed into tyranny.

Tracks like 'What Is The New World Order?' and 'Reclaim Your Story' double down, urging us to reject the script they've written for us. 'Waiting For The Fall' closes it out with a whisper of inevitability, but not defeat - more like a promise that the defiant will rise from the ashes.

Look, in an era where Big Tech scrubs dissent and record labels chase ESG scores over soul, Defiance is a lifeline. It's not for the faint of heart or the algorithm-addicted; it's for those of us who remember when art meant something - when it provoked, it challenged, it liberated. Marcel P. and the Changes crew aren't chasing Grammys; they're forging weapons in the forge of folk and wave. Grab this CD - you won't find it on Spotify's approved list. Head to Miel Noir's Bandcamp or Discogs, support the underground, and let it play loud. Because if we don't defy now, when?

That's tonight's take. Up next: the latest on the border betrayal. Stay vigilant, America. Good night."

Allerseelen: Pontikonisi. Landung auf der Toteninsel

"The dark and melancholic composition Pontikonisi. Landung auf der Toteninsel (Pontikonisi. Landing on the Isle of the Dead) by Gerhard Hallstatt was created in November 2022. It deals with the small island Pontikonisi or Mouse Island on Corfu that has often been described as inspiration for the painting Toteninsel (to nisi ton nekron in Greek) by Arnold Böcklin. But the Symbolist artist did not know about this island. As Böcklin was not only artist but also created flying machines, the word landing has a double significance. This composition is dedicated to a wonderful lady who loved, loves and will forever love Corfu." (Gerhard Hallstatt 12.12.2022)

“Sometimes I am moved with an unintelligible uneasiness when I have to teach Autdaruta. I have a feeling that it is the Devil incarnate I have in front of me. When I wanted to start teaching the heathens today, again this horror to look into the face of Autdaruta took hold of me, and I was forced to let them wait while I went down to the coast to arm myself in the solitude with a prayer to the Almighty God.” (Knud Rasmussen, The People of the Polar North)

“His eyes always made me doubtful. I only remember to have seen that timorous, despairing look in the eyes of a stricken reindeer. Sometimes a twitch would shoot across his face that would give him an extraordinary resemblance to a tired and tamed wild beast. And that was about what he was. The ruthless murderer had been appalled one day by his own deeds; and now he was tamed – though whether it were the priest or the remembrance of his own deeds that had restrained him, who shall say?” (Knud Rasmussen, The People of the Polar North)

“Years ago, I read in the book Shamanic Voices: A Survey of Visionary Narratives by Joan Halifax about a shaman in Greenland named Autdaruta. I was fascinated not only by his name but also by the magic and tragedy of his fate: He seems to have murdered several people in his youth. Later on he became aware of his magical and mystical powers and became a famous shaman, visionary and story teller to his tribe. Many years later, he for some reason decided to become a Christian. His spirits warned him not to convert. They told him that they would leave him forever. But he did not listen to them. After his baptism he suddenly realized that his magical and visionary powers had gone. Even his name Autdaruta had disappeared: He was given the Danish name Christian Poulsen. Knud Rasmussen got to know him on one of his Thule expeditions to Greenland. Autdaruta was one of his guides as he was familiar with the many fjords and the strong currents in the region. Knud Rasmussen spent a lot of time with him and wrote down many of his narrations for his book The People of the Polar North.” (Gerhard Hallstatt 2004)
