After the shitstorm that was Phil Anselmo yelling 'White Power' at Dimebash 2016, the frontman may soon find himself under scrutiny again after some recent YouTube goings-on.

After the shitstorm that was Phil Anselmo yelling 'White Power' at Dimebash 2016, the frontman may soon find himself under scrutiny again after some recent YouTube goings-on.

So if you didn't know, Phil Anselmo runs his own label, Housecore Records (who have Crowbar and King Parrot under their banner) as his own YouTube channel, which just yesterday subscribed to another channel called Save Europe. I could write a lot of things at this point, about what exactly they are saving Europe from, but I'll just let the 'About' section of this particular account speak for itself.

"This channel is a provider of Pro White/Pro European/Pro Western content. The time has come for every White Man/White Woman to stand up and speak out against the destruction of their people and culture(s)."

When you go onto Housecore Records account and you scroll back a little bit, you'll find subscriptions to other channels, and while they may not be as controversial as following a channel like Save Europe, they could still ignite more problems for the singer (which after yelling 'White Power' on-stage, was followed up with a Nazi salute mind you, would just add even more shit to the pile). Channels that have been followed include Blaire White, a transgender woman who speaks out against modern feminism, American Renaissance, and Mark Dice, who is essentially a poor man's Alex Jones (which HR also followed back in January), among various other YouTube channels.

Now look, freedom of speech is a fucking great thing, and the best part about it is that I don't have to agree with the ideologies of those channels in the slightest. Becuase I DON'T agree with them, and they'd probably disagree with me too, but that's just how a differing in opinions work, people. Never forget that.

I think it is worth mentioning, however, that Housecore Records did also follow The Jeremy Kyle Show, which is the U.K.'s version of Jerry Springer, except somewhat good. So you know, it ain't all edgy, controversial shit like Save Europe and The Fortress (unless reality T.V. shows really offend you).

Honestly, this just seems like a really covert way to damage someone's public reputation in our social media rampant world. I mean, throw up some NSFW links and a few vile, sexist and/or racist rants through Twitter and Facebook and that normally does the trick.

It may also be worth considering that this may not be Anselmo himself behind the screen, but rather someone close to him or even a total stranger, that's gained access to the account and is using it for their own personal amusement. Either way, this doesn't look too good for the singer, especially considering that he's already apologized and has worked hard to rebuild the many bridges that he's since burned.

In the meantime, the frontman has yet to make any comment, but as the Internet is bound to do what it usually does, I'm sure that we'll be hearing from ol' Phil soon enough...
