I saw Chthonic a while back and at the end of their set they demanded we support recognition of Taiwan at the UN or whatever. It was the only memorable part of their performance because Chthonic are actually pretty lame.

Wormrot come from Singapore and are one of the best grind bands around. Persefone make solid prog death and are from Andorra. Israel of course has Melechesh and Orphaned Land. Ulcerate are great and the only band I can think of from New Zealand.

Augh, god damnit. Jess and the Ancient Ones are opening for Sólstafir relatively near to me in a couple weeks and I really wanna go, just to see JATAO, but the tickets are loving 24 euros which is really salty considering I don't give a flying gently caress about Sólstafir. I am so torn.

Speaking of Metal bands with bizarre political beliefs, whats the band with the biggest gulf between how good the band is and how lovely their opinions about stuff are? I was thinking Dissection, since Storms of the Light's Bane and The Somberlain are great albums but then he murdered a dude in the name of a satanic cult/group of black magic sorcerers.

Arghoslent have written some of the best riffs I've heard in my life (and Hornets of the Pogrom is one of my favorite albums ever) but they're really goddamn racist (obviously). I wish more bands would write about the Civil War but apparently you have to either be either an uber-patriot like Schaffer or be pro-slavery to make metal songs about American history. Unless you're Cormorant and you want to make a song that's consciously similar to Arghoslent but with the opposite message ("Blood on the Cornfields," which is a dope song).

Intolitarian is an amazingly heavy grind/noise band, but it's steeped in neo Nazi trash, as well as being connected to that newer label run by Antichrist Kramer that's also connected to Hell's Headbangers. Speaking of Hell's Headbangers, they are putting on another Hell's Headbash in September and have added a ton of great black/death bands, but I definitely expect to see quite a few Nazis there, which sucks big time.

Nokturnal Mortum are definitely up there (being an Eastern European epic pagan/black metal band, that's not exactly a surprise). Their latest album Voice of Steel forgoes the openly antisemitic lyrics of some of their previous albums and is instead more in the vein of "Ukraine is beautiful" rather than "Ukraine sure would be a lot more beautiful without any Jews," but they aren't particularly progressive people. From Wikipedia: "In 2002, Varggoth started another project by the name of Aryan Terrorism, to add to his increasingly wide range of projects outside Nokturnal Mortum, and to spread his political beliefs in a more explicit way." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9c0VXgDi7E And absolutely seconding Arghoslent. Incorrigible Bigotry and Hornets of the Pogrom are two of the best melodic death metal albums ever. And by extension, Grand Belial's Key, an American NSBM band sharing members with Arghoslent. Also excellent, and you can tell it's the same guitarist because the riffs are solid as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqv1_JFSXNw Optimum Gulps fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Burzum, although he doesn't play metal now. He lives in France pretending to be a Viking while making videos on youtube akin to David Duke in order to bring down the Zionist War Machine I guess.

It's really just insane hairsplitting, but Grand Belial's Key aren't actually NSBM. They're anti-semitic as all hell though. Also a really good band although I liked them better when Cazz Grant was in the band. For a man that is ostensibly primarily a drummer he can write some amazing guitar riffs.

IronLawnmower posted:Hells headbangers are nazi? I don't think that they HHR are Nazis, but they act as a distributor for Deathangle Absolution Records, which is run by Antichrist Kramer, formerly of Satanic Skinhead Propaganda. I think DAR is trying to be less overt about the Nazi poo poo, but it certainly doesn't fall far from the tree. I understand that you can meet and associate with some lovely, nefarious characters when it comes to extreme music, so I don't necessarily blame HHR for doing business with him.

Dissection didn't get into the goofy anti-cosmic Satanism until after their second album, and the sheer lunacy of that movement took the better part of the decade after to be brewed up. GBK was a great band with Cazz Grant, who was a great vocalist and drummer. He really seemed to embody and present the ideology of the band - being an over-the-top blasphemous parody - while not being interested in the sideshow. The later lineups stated that the band was simply anti-religious, but they always seemed distracted by trying to shoehorn their beliefs into their performance without outright making the songs about it - from the mediocre vocalist to rarely performing not under far-right political banners. The band just wasn't the same without Cazz, who has been loving killer with Crucifier. I'm most surprised to see that the favorites mentioned here are the third GBK album and the second/third Arghoslent albums - I think the opposites are the best, the first two GBK albums and Arghoslent's "Arsenal" and "Galloping." This sounds like a loving Christmas carol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhBimOAaZ8Y El Estrago Bonito posted:Speaking of Metal bands with bizarre political beliefs, whats the band with the biggest gulf between how good the band is and how lovely their opinions about stuff are?

Murder in the name of black magic sorcery is pretty much par for the course in black metal, right? Megadeth probably the only band that I started to dislike after Dave went crazy about right wing politics and poo poo. The System Has Failed is like the last good album from the group.

On the topic of terrible people making (somewhat) decent music, I'll crosspost this from the black metal thread. It's taken from a documentary on Finnish black metal called "Eternal Flame Of Gehenna". The dude is the only full-time member of Goatmoon and used to do vocals for Ride For Revenge. Also, although not really a good band, here's a dude from Azazel:

Might have something to do with weird political believes: Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler arrested after bar fightquote:The Californian police department said an argument escalated into "a physical confrontation", resulting in an individual being struck and a window being broken. I, for one, am glad we're getting back to rockstars who hire hitmen and throw people through windows.

Just discovered Cemetery Rapist. It's so obviously absurd and over the top that I can't help but laugh when I merely glance at his song/album titles. The riffs themselves don't particularly bother me...everything else does. He also sounds like a loving cricket or a frog or something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmIPWi-Gh8U - NWS (then again nothing about Cemetery Rapist IS SFW).

I come from a small rural city in Australia and got to know the man behind Central Queenslands best know NSBM band, Arysk! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWTxxOZ_q-k He is a 6'5"body builder. I got to know him because he would come to my hardcore bands shows and chat to us. We hung out occasionally and then he said some off colour poo poo about some indigenous people and a friend asked me why I was hanging out with a nazi and showed me that clip.
