I am maybe in the minority but if i see that snowflakes boycott an artist cause he is a nazi or he seems to be,i buy all of his catalogs. And i am far from being a nazi BUT i support artists and the more you boycott them and try to cancel them the more i will support them buying their mercs,cds,cassettes etc. Fuck censorship.

The folks who claim to be into black metal and ”hate nazis” are full of shit. Not being a nazi fits perfectly well with BM ideology. ”Hating nazis” does not. Go astroturf somewhere else, punk-rock hipsters.

Politically there is just one obvious principle for BM in 2019: AntiFa and the show cancelling left is a problem for the scene, and can never be defended. Other than that, it is fine to promote fascism or even communism, provided you do it with the proper attitude. If you don’t get that, you don’t get black metal and how long you pretend to have been into it isn’t really the issue.

>politically correct had no place in art and those who would censor art should be exterminated.sjw or not. Censorship is facism.and those are the people I will fight against until I die

On this sentence alone you just contradicted yourself many times. You say you will fight fascism but here you have a band that actively promotes nazism(which is fascism) but you don’t bat an eye. Put them in a high position people like Blackgoat will be the first one to censor your views or much less kill you just because you’re different.

Just say that you like goatmoon’s music and stop spouting pretentious bullshit.

Some people need to keep their opinions to themselves. The world in general would benefit greatly from this practice.politically correct had no place in art and those who would censor art should be exterminated.sjw or not. Censorship is facism.and those are the people I will fight against until I die.

It’s shifty territory, certainly. You could say I glossed over their ideologies, but I meant to write a review for a black metal album not an op-ed column about the harms of NS or Nazi-ism in general and in metal. As to what you consider a false comparison about reading world war II books you sort of made my point in your reply. The analogy I meant being: that I enjoy the music of Goatmoon does not mean I align with their regressive ideologies. Descent, moral people have researched and written long books on just the Third Reich and never turned in the process. Again, so few bat an eye if band members murder people, display the disembowelment of women on their covers, or call for the genocide of religious peoples but the NS stuff rings peoples bells. I really do respect your stance Nick and I’ve said my peace. Any more and I’m probably just repeating myself. Goatmoon realistically probably got $7 out of me from the pre-order. I suppose I’ll take my internet lashings and move along.

also, suggesting that reading books about world war 2 is similar to listening to NS bands is a false equivalency: bands like Marduk and Ash Pool write songs about the second world war: They aren’t nazis. that’s much more like reading a history book.

I’m not saying you should stop reading or writing about NS bands. do whatever you want. but you can’t expect everyone to be quiet when you gloss over that aspect.

I’m not a fucking SJW, dude. I’ve been listening to black metal for close to 20 years now. I hated Nazis then and I hate them now, and I don’t support them, or people who make excuses for them.

On my technical mistakes. That’s what I get for writing and editing at 1am. Yuck.

Fair enough. I’m quite aware that many metal listeners share your policy. What I wrote in the second paragraph is an over-arching generalization but there is a sizable base of black metal fans for which a band’s ideologies are a non-factor. For this review I sought not to spotlight ideological controversy. I acknowledge it without basing the whole review on it in lieu of the music. I don’t purposely seek out NS or politically extreme black metal nor do I find it morally bankrupt just listening to the music of such bands, in the same way you wouldn’t by reading books about World War II or the Nazi party of that time. I certainly don’t align with these ideologies. In comparison I’m sure both of us own dozens of albums by bands calling for the death of Christians and don’t bat an eye. Listening to these marginal genre records haven’t influenced us to murder or organize in conspiracy to commit genocide, let alone the public at large, so I don’t feel particularly bad for listening to Deicide, for instance.

I uh…I disagree fully. I listen to a ton of black metal. If I find out a musician I like is a Nazi, I stop listening. and I’m not the only one.
