List of National Socialist black metal bands

This is a list of musical artists who are, or have been alleged to have been, part of the National Socialist black metal scene. National Socialist black metal (usually shortened to NSBM, and also known as neo-Nazi black metal or Aryan black metal) is a political movement within black metal music that promotes neo-Nazism and similar fascist or far-right ideologies. NSBM artists typically combine neo-Nazi imagery and ideology with ethnic European paganism, Satanism, or Nazi occultism, or a combination thereof, and vehemently oppose Christianity, Islam and Judaism. NSBM is not seen as a distinct genre, but as a völkisch movement within black metal. Additionally, a number of black metal bands and musicians who may not explicitly promote neo-Nazi or fascist ideology in their lyrics maintain close ties with other NSBM bands, labels, and neo-Nazi or right-wing extremist organizations, or otherwise espoused neo-Nazi or extreme right wing ideology in their personal lives. All entries in this list have been explicitly mentioned as being part of the NSBM scene in reliable sources.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Fischer writes that "Burzum thus represents somewhat of a paradox in his NSBM label: Vikernes’s politics have been predominantly asserted through nonmusical mediums, meaning that the political understandings of his music are often applied retroactively and rely on extramusical context to fully understand."[9] Similarly, Daniel Lukes and Stanimir Panayotov write that "Burzum is often characterized as NSBM, but their early albums and their music in general is not explicitly political, even by "apoliteic" standards."[10]
  2. ^ Graveland was central to the Polish NSBM scene and has been labeled as NSBM.[14][15][16][17][18][8][19] The band itself disputes this label and its lyrics avoid political subjects.[20][21] Rob Darken from the band has said: "I do not think Graveland is an NSBM band. Graveland is regarded as a NSBM band because of my political convictions, [which] most people would call extreme right-wing National Socialist convictions."[13]
