What are you, 13 years old? You need others to sign off on a band before you can listen to them? Good lord.

He's not accused of Nazism in this article, so try to keep up.

" His bassline appears on the De Mysteriis album but he was never a member of the band"

It's terrible. Cultural tourism by clueless hipsters telling a story that's been told 1000 fucking times over the last 25 years.

But as usual, that "light" is shined by someone who clearly only has surface level understanding of the genre, at best. The fact that the author included Marduk on this list makes that glaringly obvious. Of course, they forget to mention (or didn't mention because they are clueless about the band) that their show was…

Because it's not really a problem. I've been going to shows for 25+ years at this point in my life, and I can count the sketchy things I've seen on 1 hand, and those people get their ass tossed from the club promptly.

a handful of doofus NS bands (none of which are mentioned here, because the author of this piece is clearly not well versed in metal) exist out there and play secret shows to 30 people. That is not a fire. Is it shitty that that stuff exists? Sure. Is "metal" on fire because of the actions of a small minority of…

Bathory/Quorthon was a right wing nationalist? King Diamond was? Sarcofago were right wing nationalists? Tom Warrior and Celtic Frost/Hellhammer were? What they fuck are you talking about? Are you talking about the Norwegians (who were the 2nd wave, not founders)? They were literally children. Many under the age of 20…

"I would say that there's a difference between that and the way that the
bands in question here use explicitly Nazi ideals and frequently
advocate for white nationalism"

nihilism is the absence of an ethos. Way to fuck up a Lewboski quote, goober.

It makes sense if your brain is capable of thinking about it a little deeper than "Hitler fought the Russians" hur dur the Russian nazi's are so stooopid you guyz.

He's been living on a farm in France with his wife and children posting hilarious videos about Neanderthals. That's it really.

"labeled as transphobic" Just because someone says that doesn't make it true. Why didn't you print Fell's reply to that accusation in the very article you linked? Surely an ethical journalist would allow the subject of accusations to defend themselves, right? Especially when that statement is in the SAME piece of…

My wife and I are mesmerized by it, like a train wreck ;)

Well said. I agree that not being taught a strong sense of self and respect for yourself is a recipe for disaster. I think that if we were better at that as a culture at large, we wouldn't have the obesity epidemic that we do.

Fair enough take on it, cheers. That is another way to look at it.

You wouldn't say to a smoker "good for you, you don't need society to tell you how to keep healthy!" So why do we say "good for you for not being brainwashed by society" when someone is obese and setting themselves up for a very early death?

Think of it this way: Pretend you're a smoker. You watch a show that has a character constantly lighting up in nearly every scene. It makes you feel bad and realize that you're seeing a reflection of your self destructive behavior. Does this mean you've been brainwashed into thinking smoking is bad? Of course not. The…

I have a less than perfect body as well. We SHOULD feel bad about being in shitty shape and strive to improve ourselves. In reality, you've been brainwashed into thinking being at a much higher risk for preventable diseases and a very early death is okay and that you should be proud of that. :/

Any woman (or man) that tells you they'd rather be obese, out of shape, and "traditionally" unattractive to other people is 100% full of shit. You can pretend all you want that people want to look like that, but no one is buying it but you.
