Yep, if you let a nazi play in your band you have a nazi band, just like with the bar (or Framework computers 😿).

My brother complains about black metal for that reason a lot. Finds a good band, finds out they are nazis, now he’s gotta find stuff that sounds like them that isn’t made by nazis, which is a harder task in black metal than other genres.
Makes me happy that I’m into doom and sludge, just a bunch of fat guys writing songs about space dragons, wizard fights, how awesome beer and weed are, and kaijus.
Gallowbraid, Panopticon, Rotting Christ, Celtic Frost/Triptykon, Burnt Lodge, Ellende, Agriculture, deafheaven, Hiraeth, The Infernal Sea, Iskra, Dawn Ray'd, Eveale, Feminazgul, GVLA, Napierdalac, Nixil, Ofnus, Primordial Serpent, Svarta Havet, Terzij de Horde, The Blood Mountain Black Metal Choir, Underdark, Unmother, Weald + Woe, Weigedood, Woe.
All Black Metal, all 100% not fash or bigots or arseholes.
Edit: For anyone interested, I co - present an antifascist extreme metal radio show once a month on Chaos Under No Ties. The show is called Contra Odium.
Every time I listen to Gallowbraid, I am sad that they only have one album. What a shame. Fantastic music.
also
Feminazgul
Gotta love Margaret <3
They (Gallowbraid) performed at Fortress Festival a couple of weeks ago which I choose to take as an encouraging sign that new stuff might be on the horizon.
And yeah, any project Margaret's involved in is an instant 'yes' from me.
Oh I almost forgot! Check out Caladan Brood. I am like 99% sure it's the same people as Gallowbraid xD again just one album tho.
It is the same people :) I just forgot to put them in my list.
May I suggest BlackBraid as well. I know there’s controversy over whether he’s „really“ Native American but the music kicks ass.
I love lists of black metal band names, they’re so creative.
“Alright, gang, time to name the band. What name would manage to tell people we hate Christianity, hierarchy, and societal concepts, but also tells them that we’re super into The Lord of The Rings and D&D?”
Got any recommendations for bands and songs about wizard fights?
Lol I knew that's what the link would go to. A+ work spreading the gospel
Got to see them play it live a few weeks back at a show with Conan and Telekinetic Yeti, fucking killer set.
Hell yea, I missed that tour when they came through town but saw each of them previously when they've come through.
Last night was monolord and mizmor, epic show
I wish Monolord would come through my town, those guys rip.
Glad you got to see them, though, especially Conan, they kick so much ass. I love Conan more than human rights. I love Conan so god damned much. They are the apotheosis of doom metal.
Monolord is playing my neighborhood venue on Thursday! Not really my style of metal, but one of my best friends is a huge fan.
Ain’t no such thing as a bad metal show, regardless of if you’re a fan or not, it’s always a good time, tear it up.

What about system of a down?
They're obviously very left leaning in everything they've done. And yet it turned out the drummer was a magat all along and the only thing they rest of the band can get him to agree on anymore is that the Armenian genocide was wrong.
I get the sentiment and as soon as something like that comes out the rest of the band may need to re-evaluate the band. But with soad and how openly liberal they've been consistently with their songs and politics outside of the band, would you still think soad is a maga band?
I personally think the drummer is a dumbass with 0 critical thinking skills. The band is still unapologetically left leaning in it's songs and messaging despite the drummer.
Wait what happened with framework
Nothing. This a stupid, self defeating comment by op. Copied from Reddit: "Framework decided to sponsor Hyprland, which is basically a Linux GUI. It has also apparently been promoting Omarchy, which I first heard about yesterday when this came up, so can't say too much about that.
Creator of Hyprland is controversial to say the least, and he has been pretty much ousted from the open source community."
Saying sponsoring hyprland makes framework nazi is one of the stupidest things I've seen on the internet in a long time
Wow there truly is no ethical consumption under capitalism
The problem isn't Framework sponsoring or featuring nazis (pretty sure they just didn't know). The problem is that when people told them: "Hey, you're promoting people that literally want to kill me, I don't feel save here anymore". They didn't make a clear statement that they're anti fascist but said some corporate marketing bullshit about big tents and inviting everyone (which I personally and many others understood as them being cool with nazis in their mids as well because they didn't want to scare away investors).
Whoa! I'm out of the loop, here. Mind filling me in about Framework?

Trying to avoid musicians because of their predilections basically caused me to cease listening to music. It was too tedious and upsetting to sort through.
“Rapist, rapist, child predator, rapist, bigot, child predator- oooh, just a bunch of masochists! You stay on the playlist. Next up, rapist, rapist…”
AFAIK Steam Powered Giraffe and Angine de Poitrine are entirely unproblematic

Oh boy, suggesting Mayhem to people
At least the songs weren’t about nazi shit, just nerd shit.
But, like I already said, fuck Varg. Would be willing to play his TTRPG, though, if I’m being honest.
I've heard MYFAROG has a lot of his... inclinations, but I don't go looking for games with that level of infamy attached to them (I haven't even read a single page of FATAL), so I don't know.
I feel like it would be an autopsy of his world building more than any kind of gameplay session, at the end of the day. Maybe I’ll give it a go after he dies.

Mayhem is the tip of the iceberg.
I am aware, however, the comic seems to be suggesting the band here is mayhem
I 100% interpreted it as Mayhem.
Fuck Varg, BTW.
This is why if I ever met the members of Fit For An Autopsy off stage I would kiss them, and they'd probably kiss me back. We held a huge "From The River To The Sea" banner at their last concert, painted by dipping our hands in red paint, and the entire audience helped us hold it and the band all made a gesture on stage excited about it.
That’s fuckin’ rad.
Also, fuck Israel.
Or perhaps one could say...
That's fuckin' metal?
Last week I saw Agriculture, they called for happy pride and a free palestine, and their black metal style is fucking amazing.
Hey, at least it's not like metalcore where everyone and their grandma has those wonderful things called ✨ allegations ✨
Allegations don’t necessarily turn me off of a band, but the specific allegations that show up in metalcore, A LOT, make me glad it’s not my cup o’ tea.
Sits back in comfy chair and puts on "Permanent Waves."
Because outside of a dubious flirtation with Ayn Rand, which Dirk stated in his autobiography was artistic and not political, those three are about as Canadian as Canadians get.
Man, Ayn Rand sucks, but "Atlas Shrugged" is THE best title for a book I have ever heard.
I feel like, once they're no longer profiting off the music, the morality of listening gets a lot simpler. I've never heard a Lostprophets track, but Watkins is dead, so I would be fine taking a look at their discography if I ever wanted to.
Black metal music is all extremely annoying.
