After years of struggle, the Golden Dawn - Greek far-right party, criticized worldwide for its racist policies and pro-xenophobia - won enough votes for the first time to gain a representative in parliament of the country.
The story is unusual. The representative chosen for the post by the party, Giorgos Germenis, is a musician, which by itself is not the most curious... Germenis is the bassist of black metal band Naer Mataron, known for her terrifying performances.
The band was founded in 1994, with an ultra-nationalist premise: is based on in Greek mythology lyrics to extol the country's culture.
The party Golden Dawn is being compared by the Greek press to the neo-Nazi German, the National Democratic Party. Last month, a leader of the party proposed undermine (literally) the country's borders to stem the "invasion of immigrants".

His plan to revitalize Greece?
"Greek factories must be reborn, Their chimneys must be filled with smoke once more, and of course all illegal immigrants must leave. If all the illegal immigrants left — and there are more than three million — there would be three million jobs for Greeks." Germenis was also quoted by PRI's The World as saying, "We Golden Dawn say that Greece is a rich country. In order to rebuild Greece, we also need to revitalize our factories and small workshops. In this way, Greece can stand on its own two feet. We won't need the European Union or anyone else. We'll just need Greeks."
