[lbo-talk] Norwegian black metal update

[B.]

Some of us have set up a few online groups -- those of
us who like black metal, that is -- so we can share
info on what bands believe what. It gets confusing
with all the variations thereof -- NSBM: National
Socialist Black Metal, and some of the suspiciously
"pagan" Euro stuff that, with all the
Wotan-glorification and crypto-Jew bashing, really
does have Nazi undertones to it. A lot of times you'll
think a black metal band is good, then you'll read
some interview where one of the members will open his
stupid mouth and make some dumb comment and ruin it
all.

ISKRA (from Canada, no less) are one of the few
politically right-on metal bands I can think of.
(Chck'em out-- very anto-capitalist and anti-racst:

The next episode of my show, Radio Schizo, will focus
on politically decent black metal -- or black
metal-inspired, dark, epic crust and hardcore that's
anti-capitalist and anti-sexist, etc. But there is a
ton of racist, bullshit, Nazi black metal out there. I
only wish a lot of them were anti-Christian for the
right reasons; instead, many of the BM bands are
anti-Christian because they see Christianity as a
Jew-inspired, Mid-Eastern religion that unjustly
supplanted native European paganism of the
Wotan/Asatru ilk.   =(
