They got exposed as Nazis a while back by a guy that drove a tour bus on a tour that they were on. They denied it in a very awkward interview. This despite that it's been pretty well known for a while that they were nazis. I mean the singer has a side project called 88MM.

Also Antichrist Kramer is pretty damning as well with his posts on NWN. They are both clearly Nazis, and Inquisition now that they are on SoM are trying to escape it, but they are hitting lots of road blocks.

Speaking of lefty/anarcho type BM, I finally checked out the new Panopticon and it's really wonderful. I'm enjoying it a hell of a lot. Especially "In Silence". I'm a bit on the fence with Nachtmystium. First time I listened, it sounded like variations on the same riff for 55 mins, and not in an interesting/intentional way. It gets better with subsequent listens, but lacks the bite of some of his other stuff.

I'm a longtime fan of Panopticon, but I'm a little on the fence about the new one. Austin has become a much better player over the course of his albums but I think it's working against him on this record as a lot of the compositions seem strangled by technically proficient but totally needless instrumentation-- endless drum fills, sweep picking, etc. Also, "The Long Road I" is bad. It's bad bluegrass. I've enjoyed the Appalachian elements when they're incorporated (the fiddles in The Long Road II are awesome!) but as a straight-up bluegrass player he can't hack it.

e: listening again right now and I think the first song is the worst offender in terms of being incredibly overly busy, but good god he gets Garth Algar-level excited on the drums when songs climax

I'm pretty sure it is actually named for Moon Knight, Roach is a comics buff. New album is really good anyway, anything the Harassor guys have done is gonna be at least kind of interesting.

Yeah I think Austin gets better with every album. I really didn't get the hype until around the time that Social Disservices came out, and have enjoyed that, and everything since. I can't really comment on the "bad bluegrass" because I don't listen to enough bluegrass to know what good bluegrass sounds like, but I do enjoy that entire suite of songs. I think he blends his influences better on this album than on Kentucky overall. I see what you mean about some of his songs being overly busy though, I felt that more with Kentucky (Bodies Under the Falls especially) than with this one. I really like the simplicity of the songs he did for the second split with Wheels Within Wheels. Speaking of the split stuff, the songs Falls of Rauros did for their split with him are excellent and definitely bode well for the new album!

Okay, stop right there.

There is no nazi imagery around Bolzer. Not a single tattoo on their lead member is a nazi swastika, they are all stylized Jain/Hindu/Eastern works and are explained inside the very article. The only time WWII etc has been referred to in their music is in the song entranced by the Wolfshook, which is a condemnation of people blindly following, and the loss of individualism.

This is without even mentioning that the member in question with said tattoos is the progeny of a Nigerian, and has continually spoke out against NSBM and right wing politics from his very first involvement in metal (long before the tattoos).

Sure, slate Kim Kelly if you like, but don't drag others' names through the mud to do it.

I don't necessarily disagree with your post, but at least one of his tattoos (visible in the article's photo) is a Valknut. The Valknut isn't exclusively a white supremacist symbol, but it definitely gets a lot of play in those circles. So there's at least some ambiguity. It also doesn't help that the article title includes "what's up with those swastikas," which definitely sets the tone. But yes, Entranced by the Wolfshook seems pretty clearly to be an anti-Nazi song.

Plenty of nonracist neopagans use the walknut too, it's not even illegal in Germany like most variant swastikas are.

Honestly we should support anyone cutting off white supremacists from appropriating cool symbols. Wincing at using anything they've used has no net positive effect.

I am a white Asatru and I use the Valknut all the time, I am 100% against white supremacy and think it is a shame that such a symbol has been used by white supremacy groups.

I think Satanic Warmaster made an interesting point about their use of some Nazi imagery, they said something along the lines of "We are not Nazis but we will use a Swastika to get a rise out of people and to be controversial, because upside down crosses just don't do it anymore."

Personally I have no problem with that, I think it's strange that people will blow off Cannibal Corpses Necropedophile as just being "edgy" but everyone is up in arms over a Nazi Swastika. The way to take away NSBM bands power and influence is to not give a poo poo about them.

All of these symbols existed long before the Nazis, and long before anyone "white" even knew there were other colours of skin. They may have been co-opted and corrupted by certain regimes, groups or credos in some people's eyes, but they do retain their original meanings to others. And of course, at the end of the day, they are symbols, and therefore can also have unique meanings in an individual's eyes.

Would it really surprise anyone that an individual who's outlook is very much based on primal forces, shamanism and duality/trinity motifs is utilising these symbols based on their ancient meanings?

My Dreams of Hitler by Satanic Warmaster posted:

The age of tragedies, my vision of a fallen empire
Like a lantern that burned out in ecstacy
Lighting the path of blood and honour into time
For eternity, forever reminding me... Forever changing time...

The man against time, in scorn against decline
One state, one folk, one leader, a true revelation
The purest essence of the cult of our blood
For infinity, flowing inside me... Forever binding me...

My dream of your empire
Fills me with joy
For it is also my fate
To end this life of strife in tragedy...

Live by the sword they say, thus I shall live
Let my words be my blade, let my songs be my spear

My dream of your empire
Fills me with joy
For it is also my fate
To end this life of strife in tragedy
...or supremacy.

Satanic Warmaster is a glam band with a Nazi fashion show on the side. While he's not ripping off Moonblood and Judas Iscariot, he spends a lot of time dressing up for photos and hanging out in front of his swastika flags and altar to Hitler.
