Media
Mölzer has been publishing in the Die Presse and the Kronen Zeitung, Austria's leading tabloid, since 1998. Since 1997, he is editor-in-chief of the right-wing-weekly Zur Zeit, which is seen as Austrian pendant to Germany's Junge Freiheit, for which Mölzer contributes an article on European Affairs every week. He has also been writing and editing several books on political or history topics.
Mölzer has published several lyrical and prosaical works. His lyrics („Earth-brown tides / roll crowding / mightily through the country“) is interpreted in a political context.[2] However, it is said that the situation depicted in the poem could have been avoided.[3] His novel „Der Graue“ was criticized as it became subject of a public debate in 2014. This novel tells the tale of a survivor of a nuclear war who wanders and rapes through an apocalyptic landscape.[2] The daily newspaper Kurier called the novel as "crazed fantasy of violence" and summarised its ending as follows: „From a folkish perspective, everything in the gray finds its happy ending: the aryan finds his female, saves the species - and is allowed to die.“[4]
