It is a playground for punky attitudes and SS death-heads, for pastoral romanticism and Riefenstahl aesthetics.
　　
　　For years now, feelings have been running high about Neofolk. No other contemporary music genre raises so many questions about freedom of art and freedom of speech.
　　
　　Some of the bands are expressing euro-centric worldviews.
　　Right-wing populism or the cultural vision of a Europe marked by diversity?
　　
　　Other bands cause offence with their use of symbols of the Third Reich.
　　Political statement or necessary shock art?
　　
　　A few bands and fans wear Nazi and SS uniforms.
　　An aesthetic breakaway from the mainstream or profession of fascist leanings?
　　
　　With more than 540 pages, Looking For Europe is the first book dealing in a comprehensive and non-dogmatic manner with the blackest chapter of the music underground. All relevant bands of the genre are portrayed in exclusive interviews and photos.
　　
　　The book highlights the field of tension Neofolk is situated in. The range goes from fragile folk to noisy Industrial, from right-wing anarchists to left-wing uniform wearers, from Paganism to Satanism and Christianity, from gay fetishism to obscure artistic treatments of ideological propaganda.
　　
　　There will be also a strictly limited Luxus Edition box set (500 copies worldwide)
　　This box contains clothbound and gold-embossed 4 CD Digipak, the book (in German) and an exclusive poster packaged in a huge 31x31cm designed box.
