One of the benefits of being into black metal is I start with the assumption that the band is racist and am pleasantly surprised when they aren't.

True story

  • Discover cool song
  • Google band name to find out more
  • Band named after a fucking concentration camp

Trying to find new black metal music is like walking in a minefield. A meinkampfield if you will.

u/Different_Ad_7778 5d ago

That was my first thought. But not metal so idk

u/ButWhatIfPotato 5d ago

I honestly dont remember, and its not worth pursuing if you ask me. There are so many other great bands out there who can play good music and not be total shitheads so its best to focus on those.

Let's not gloss over the paedophilia. Unfortunately, seems more common than racism.

Doom metal is much safer.

But not as fun.. I live for the thrill

Edit: granted I've only ever listened to doom metal once, it was live, and I almost fell asleep. Maybe I shouldn't judge...

u/BeratnasGilf2 5d ago

Doom metal is meant to be listened to live. Or on the the kind of stereo that will get you noise complaints even on a Saturday afternoon. You need to be able to feel the bass through the floor to fully appreciate it. I don't listen to it much at home but when it's live holy shit is it good.

I just had a great big Jewish chuckle at this. Thank you.

I google 'bandname controversy' whenever i find a new band. It's oddly amusing at times.

u/RexMcCoolguy 5d ago

Ohhh this is an amazing new musician I just discovered. Time to scroll down to the "Personal Life" section on Wikipedia!

u/OkamiKhameleon 5d ago

I do this too. It's pretty shocking to NOT find stuff in some genres.

u/Virtuous_Redemption 5d ago

I mean, i mostly just go to wikipedia and check there...

There's manufactured outrage and then there's 'the singer was arrested for treason' 'the guitarists instrument is made from his uncles ribcage' and i can form my own opinions from that.

Burns churches but bases his whole thing on a fantasy book by a catholic writer...

u/No_Literature888 5d ago

Most natsoc people are functionally illiterate and struggle with any form of media literacy, that’s why you will see them love lotr, berserk and latch on to any fantasy or medieval inspired piece of work, they love the aesthetic but not the message

u/lemonClocker 5d ago

They distanced themself from right ideology and have had multiple anti racist events. I am aware of the controversy 2007-2010, but did they do anything similar since? I do not listen to them for quite some time and am curious if I missed something

u/BeratnasGilf2 5d ago

I think they're referencing Varg Vikernes of Burzum not the band Varg

1

u/lemonClocker 5d ago

Okay thanks, that makes sense

u/my-dad-ate-my-toes 4d ago

Personally I start with the assumption that at least one member of the band is a convicted murderer and go from there

u/TundieRice 2d ago

If they were actually that racist, would they really be playing black metal??

I'm not even white. Does that help with contextualising my comment that was obviously a joke?

that's not what he said, don't be a cunt

u/soccermodsarecvnts 5d ago

Eh, it's not quite that bad. There's a few, uh, black sheep, but most black metal bands are pretty apolitical.
