All aboard the knuckle train to FIST PLANET!!
I like neofolk, but one thing that bothers me is the connection it seems to have to fascism and neo-nazi beliefs. I find a cool band I like, but then I feel like I have to google to see if they are supportive of that ideology. I know it shouldn't bother me so much, and most likely the bands use that imagery for shock value, but it still makes me feel weird when I listen to stuff like Death in June and Darkwood in public. Am I just overreacting, or are they some neofolk bands that really do have those beliefs? BTW, Of the Wand and the moon is another good band.

i tend to disconnect an artist from their beliefs if they aren't blatant as gently caress about it in their music

for example i'll still listen to burzum even though varg calls himself a "nationalist"

OK, that is true. I guess the music doesn't define your personal beliefs. I'm not a satanist just because I like black metal.
