Hello? Charlemagne?!

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.

If you like neofolk and the garbage ideologies of various neofolk artists is too off-putting, I suggest starting with (and maybe stopping with) Rome since Jerome is a left-leaning guy. Flowers from Exile, the album in the OP is probably my favorite, but it's hard not to recommend any of his albums. Passage to Rhodesia, his latest, is also really good.

I've also, I've really been digging Werkraum lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWDA5GfOdjQ

Hello? Charlemagne?!
Is anyone going to see Rome in Aarschot on March 5th? I'm in Utrecht around then and I'm debating making the trip down.
