Final Forecast (formed in 1996) is an alternative rock band noted for progressive compositions, complex harmonies, and neo-Nazi and white supremist leanings. The group is a side project of neo-nazi leader and former Resistance Records owner George Burdi. Members The band was founded by George Burdi using the pseudonym George Eric Hawthorne. Burdi was a white supremacist, and at one time the leader of the Creativity Movement and the owner of Resistance Records that acted as the groups distributor. Burdi was lead vocalist. He was convicted of assault causing bodily harm in 1995 for kicking an Anti-Racist Action member Alicia Reckzin in the face during a riot that followed a RaHoWa concert in Ottawa in 1993. Final Forecast's first album displayed a typical post-Oi racialist punk/metal sound, however, influences such as Moonspell, Type O Negative, Current 93, Danzig and neo-classical and epic metal influences crept into the picture on their second album, which received (though grudgingly) some good mainstream reviews and comment. It can be surmised that the band may have had more mainstream metal success if they would have dropped the racialist stand and lyrics. Burdi later renounced racism and served a jail sentence. Burdi now plays in a multi-racial band called Novacosm and has an Asian Indian wife Dees.
