Pan-Amerikan Native Front is an Indigenous Black Metal band from Illinois, U.S. aka The Land of The Three Fires, Anishinaabewaki! Pan-Amerikan Native Front's lyrical themes deal with warfare and the endless battles against encroaching colonialism from the so-called \"free\" country of the United States. Where all men (of a certain color and backround that is) are created equal - except those outside it's borders that are against their hypocritical interests. Tecumseh's War isn't just about war and bloodshed, but a chronicle of Indigenous Solidarity and Resistance. In Solidarity, In War; Raise The War Club High!
Official Artist Statement:
\"Pan-Amerikan Native Front is an audio and visual representation of the collective spirit of the Indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere. A historical anthology, where war and battle defined the future. The embers of the past weave through first and third person perspectives, as a way to embolden the narrative. Black Metal is the vessel that drives the disruption of the new and tension of the old.
This project does NOT bear any political ideologies. The content is NOT a call to action. The intent is NOT to promote disillusionment.
And there are certainly limitations to communicating this message. However, P.N.F. exists to balance a shared history, foster understanding, and spark curiosity.
Support the artists and underground labels/organizers so that Indigenous First Nation Black Metal will live on!
This band and album will be featured in Issue #5 The \"Rez Metal Issue\" of The Metal Cave Zine

\"The special characters used in the logo to substitute the letters ME in \"Pan-Amerikan\" and TI in \"Native\" derive from the Cherokee syllabary. The syllabary was invented by Sequoyah in the early 1820s and was quickly adopted by the Cherokee nation to learn how to read and write in their native language.
The bird logo was inspired by the shoulder sleeve insignia used by the 45th U.S. Infantry Division of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. The symbol features the Thunderbird, a common Native American figure. The insignia was approved in 1939, previously the division adopted a swastika as a tribute to the natives in the Southwestern region of the United States. However, due to the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany the use of the swastika prompted the decision to replace it. The division participated in World War II beginning with the amphibious assault in Sicily. Later, the division battled in France and eventually participated in the capture of Munich.\"
