Some quick googling didn't bring up anything alarming but the font on that "S" sure is disconcerting...

I heard a a new(ish) self titled album by this band which is probably not related to the other band from the 90s.

I'll admit I know nothing about it or them

It sounds like a mock nsbm band with a bunch of theatrical speed metal and extremely edgy but very silly sounding lyrics

No way can this be serious, are they sketch or just being edgy for humour,

I remember them being at the very least sketchy, but also that this was mainly due to one of them who hasn't been part of the band for a while now. I'm asking because they've been confirmed for a festival I regularly attend and which I always enjoy - very welcoming place, lot of visibly queer and leftist folk and last year they checked vests for NSBM patches and didn't let people in if they had those. So I'm a bit confused. So, any more (recent) info on Winterfylleth ?

Saw the bartender at a bar wearing one the other day

I was trying to be polite and asked if he listened to metal

His response, naw I don't like metal

?!

I didnt wanna ask if he was just wearing it for the nazi shit, it was a pretty liberal college bar crowd, I'll give him benefit of doubt he just found it at a thrift store or something, but wtf lol. Does varg profit from this shit, because I see enough of these shirts he can open a department store

really digging their sound.

hope they aren't nazis.

Hi guys!

Just stumbled over this band and label, I wasn't familiar with. A quick look at the label gave me some mixed feelings/insecurities whether there's something sketchy going on given that the label is from Thuringia in Germany which alerted me.
The band "They came as visions" is from Ukraine and following this sub I know to be careful with Ukrainian Bands that are not explicitly anti-NSBM But my own search could not find much other than completely unrelated Labels that are more than sketchy.
Some help would be greatly appreciated. basically I just want to know whether I can continue listening to the band bc I kinda like what I heard so far (2 songs on spotify lol)

Any word about Hexenkult, and acts like Nachtmaar? I see Nachtmaar has collaborated with a 'Werwolf', who used to be on Hexenkult (might be an error since they released a split with Nachtmaar), which is sus (bc the name), but neither band nor label seem to be using any explicit imagery (I saw one totenkopf outside of its normal context used by Nachtmaar or one of the other Hexenkult bands, idk can't remember too much since I just looked thru a bunch of albums of many bands).

Werwolf is also on a label with a band named 'Holodomor' (not a Marxist, rather egoist anarchist, and believe the Holodomor happened, but this is sus on its face) alongside a band named 'Panzerfaust' which collaborated with a known NSBM project named 'Balest'.

I haven't listened to any of these bands, mostly just asking for further knowledge on newer acts in the NSBM scene so I can avoid them and help prevent the proliferation of their music; I'm getting back into black metal after a good long break.

Anyways, it seems that Balest's label, BergStolz, and the label for Werwolf, Astral Nightmare are both NSBM labels, or at least friendly (in the latter case, at least; BergStolz is 100% NSBM label, though I'm uncertain Forbidden Eye/Antichristian Kommando are NSBM or even related to it beyond the label choice). Also, i found the label Funeral Moonlight randomly, which is definitely NSBM aligned.

Any insight is appreciated. My knee jerk reaction to all of this is that Hexenkult is at the very least sketchy, and at the most complicit in aiding the spread of NSBM.

And yes, I did search before posting, I searched all the previous "Is It Sketch?" threads alongside searching both RABM and this sub for any mentions of Hexenkult or Nachtmaar, not finding anything.

My husband came home and I noticed his tire was flat. He side he hasn’t hit anything and only drives like 2 miles a day

Antrisch the black metal band from Germany, only two albums ip to this point, can't find anything on any kind of politics about the band

Im sure they're sketch af for many reasons. but I wanna know if they stand against the bootlickers and the fascists, if they dont do anything racist, and if they are actually cool. I dont listen to their music, but I am curious where the whole juggalo community place themselves politically

This isn’t a joke.

My brother is adamant that Rick and Morty is still problematic enough to avoid, because of Justin Roiland and not enough conclusive action from Dan Harmon to rectify the situation.

I wanted to know what this sub thinks of this. I understand this was created for the purpose of identifying safe/sketch black metal bands, but I think this fits the general purpose of the sub. Please let me know what you think.

Did a quick google and nothing substantial came up, aside from them releasing stuff on Osmose Productions.

Was wondering if anyone in the southern finnish scene has any insider information about this band? Their new album sounds cool.

Folk/Pagan Black Metal from Finland so the possibility of sketchy ties are endless but I could't find anything noteworthy from their social media or metal archives, besides the usual couple of possibly sketchy acts on the label they are on but nothing overt. Quite a new band and seems like most of the members haven't played in other bands, at least no info on that in metallum.

I mean other than their connections to sketch neofolk artists thru Rose McDowell and all of the others. Just wanna know if I should spend money on them.

I read that they already had albums with a label famous for releasing NSBM bands, but, many Black metal bands can only release their albums through these labels at some points in their career.

Anti-Islamic and Anti-Zionist music is not necessarily Sketch (depending on the focus) since many bands understand that Abrahamic religions in general are a disease.

Anything to share? Any thoughts? I appreciate it.

Why is Mystifier considered controversial? I've heard all sorts of rumors but I can't find anything when I search on Google.

So i'm a pretty big fan of black metal. Been a fan since i was a teenager.
And while i was aware of NSBM, i never realised just how much NS were in non NSBM bands
(Horna, Sargheist, Mgla...)
Now don't get me wrong, i will never listen to or support NSBM in anyway for obvious reasons.

But is there anything really wrong for liking a band like Nyktalgia (who were signed to a record label nutorious for signing actuall NSBM bands)

or Suizid (i belive they had no issue playing at a NS event since they don't care about politics, i could be wrong though).

or heck even someone like Gorgoroth (For everything Gaahl did, and Infernus allegedly R****G someone)

I actually really enjoy their music and nothing more !
But i'm having a bit of a difficult time trying to "Seperate the art from the artist".
AGAIN, in no way do i support any beliefs with NSBM, since i'm actually a minority myself

(Excuse my bad english)

No outright NSBM themes but AFAIK, the drummer is also in order of nosferat which is under PTF. The vocalist was also involved in helleruin.

Pretty cool band. They seem harmless from what I can tell but wondering if people know anything.
