I'm really amused at this idea that the right wing looks to the media and the left to tell them what to think about their own candidates. Like if liberals were more selective in which insane right wingers they called out, the people who are currently really excited about throwing brown people in camps would be like "hmm, perhaps they have a point about this Trump guy!"

Anyway, free speech is messy. I'm not entirely sure that trying to ferret out every musician that once said or wrote something lovely is very worthwhile but hey, people can use whatever criteria they want to decide who give their money to.

Also nazis and nazi apologists really should gently caress off.

Think about it from the other side. How ridiculous does it sound to you when you hear O'Reilly call democrats "left wing nazis," or to use the "I guess you just hate America" rhetoric. When you overuse poo poo like that, it really loses its meaning. If you watch interviews with people who defend Trump, they often don't try to justify what he does, they simply refuse to believe the claims. They've heard this rhetoric before (too bad this time it's mostly true though). You're even showing that type of hyperbole by saying that they're "excited about throwing brown people in camps," as a way to refer to people supporting deportation (a move I consider stupid and unfeasible, mind you). I'm sure it's possible to criticize his idiotic plan without bringing up death camp analogies.

Of course, I'm not saying this is what's happening with Peste Noire though, since their WAR stuff is, well, a nazi symbol.

As for allegedly nazi artists; they can do whatever they want. If you don't like them, don't give them money, but accept that other people might like their work.

Peste Noire are pretty well known as being nationalistic and right wing although they're not really NS strictly speaking.

They are as close as you can get to being NS as you can get without technically being it. Have you heard the sort of poo poo Famine says about himself and his music?

I've never been a huge Mithras fan, but they are really fast and have super sick guitar solos.

All this nazi stuff is really upsetting to me, and it's hard to know whats right to do, about these bands, that love hitler and genocide, but also make cool music. maybe it's fine if they lose shows because they want to kill all minorities? just thinking out loud here.

What Bill O'Reilly says has zero impact on how anybody left of Richard Nixon votes, that's my point. If zombie Josef Stalin somehow won the Democratic nomination and ran on a platform of throwing Republicans in gulags, the blame would fall on violent leftist shitheads, not on Bill O'Reilly for saying a bunch of dumb poo poo nobody cares about anyway. The idea that people shouldn't call bigots bigots because they have to save their bullets in case an even worse bigot comes along is ridiculous. And for the record, Trump literally said that he thought Japanese internment camps in WW2 might have been the right call, so...

Anyway, this free speech back and forth is always kind of silly because there is no right answer. Nobody is trying to outlaw Peste Noir or confiscate their records - they exercised their free speech to let sponsors know they wouldn't be spending money to support an alleged Nazi band. Peste Noir's right to use a bunch of Nazi imagery and other people's right to not care about that are exactly the same as the right to say "I won't buy a ticket to this show/fest if they're playing." You can't have one and not the other.

Like, I think the dudes who get super salty about MDF having doom and black metal bands now are dumb but if they were a big and vocal enough group that the MDF organizers had to cater to them, it wouldn't be some big crisis of free speech.

You're the only one talking about free speech here though. I don't know who you're arguing against in that regard.

Having said that, the fact that the antifa just push and threaten venues and festivals until they bow down isn't something worthy of praise (i'm not saing you're praising it)

I vaguely remember reading something about how most of the dudes from Agalloch are forming a new band, so keep an eye out for that! Also The Morningside is pretty solid and sounds very similar.

Ignoring nazichat, it makes me happy to see someone else mention The Morningside. When I used to listen to them nobody knew who they were.

we were literally throwing brown people into camps not a decade ago and any time the current guy in charge tries to get the main camp shut down the other team cries to high heaven. on top of that our civilian police operate similar black sites domestically

Are anti-fascist groups super active in Europe or something? In Australia they seem cool, you wouldn't know they exist except for the occasional counterprotest. I think most of their work is just investigating and outing people to the media who have ties to white power orgs.

There are some, not to mention that local Jewish communities aren't too happy when a suspected-NS band wants to play there. The UK and Germany in particular have some pretty big anti-nazi organizations. When it comes to bands, for the ones they get right, they get a few wrong, as happened with Sabaton, Tyr, Moonsorrow, Watain, and others.

As for antifa skinheads, I've seen a few in Germany and France, but not so much in Spain, Norway or the Netherlands. All the best, really, they tend to be just as violent, drunk and idiotic as the other skinheads, just with different targets (I still love this comic for basically getting it right: http://imgur.com/a/NrE32).

Some of them are huge assholes who phone bomb threats to venues in order to get gigs cancelled because their protests didn't work.

(Because they were protesting a band that wasn't nazi)

Yes also I do speak French and most of their lyrics in La Chaise Dyable their last album doesn't have anything Nazi related. There is definitely lots of nationalistic vibe in their songs. I do think their first few demos like back in 2001 were about the Aryan Race and straight up Nazi/facist. The last album is pretty much about the old way of living in France which was the country life and how in modern France like most of those small villages are empty. A bunch of their songs are taken from old war songs in medieval France. So ya some of the lyrics talk about the enemy or defending France but it isn't really offensive imo. Other than that they are pretty unique band who does a lot of experimenting.

The ship is now armed and preparing to explode. This will be a fairly large explosion, so you'd best keep back about 22 miles.
Black Rheno's released an EP pretty recently and it just launched on Bandcamp so it can be heard everywhere. It's got the benefit of good ol' grind 'Strayan rage balanced perfectly with some genuine stoner groove, and they ride that line better than I think I've ever heard.

Small band, but the production is quality, and the music video has King Parrot''s Matt Young as a weird rear end VW bus hippie, which pleases me greatly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43JXtDga2FY

Their latest EP is here, highly recommend: https://blackrheno.bandcamp.com/album/lets-start-a-cult

He definitely uses a racial slur on "J’avais Rêvé du Nord" and in general has pretty dark attitude to race and to modern society as a whole. He's not overtly a Nazi unlike plenty of black metal types but definitely has a right-punk, purposefully controversial politics in his music, which ties into the edgy "so underground" attitude he cultivates. I can see why he would offend people, I dare say that's what he wants, but I agree they are a much more musically interesting act than the vast majority of black metal today, regardless of whether people find them morally objectionable.

Having said that, we play this game in KPN to pretend to be the most cocky, the most irritable, the most stinking, in other words as overly French as humanly possible, so much so that an Aussie reading my words would pay 600 quids for a plane ticket, or that a 500 lbs American mouth breather would swim an ocean, both just to kill me.

The problem is how much layering and choruses and poo poo going on in their new stuff that just doesn't translate well live at all. When I saw them years ago in a small venue, before they went the direction they are now they sounded great. The issue is their last few albums don't translate live well at all.

Speaking of Inquisition, any of you ever heard their thrash stuff? Managed to snag a vinyl release of their thrash EPs a few years back.
