Listening to Wardruna and wanting to make a stab at the Viking gothic fantasy werewolf book.I’m gonna need a lot of Norse rock that isn’t tainted with white supremacy, methinks.

SPEAKING OF, if you happen to know of good Viking/Norse folk/Norse rock music that isn’t made by white supremacist asshats, drop me a recommendation! I love finding new tune-age!

@lilithsaintcrow does it have to be viking/norse influenced or can it be anything from the nordic countries?

@kemonine It’s for a Viking book. It needs to be Viking-flavored, at least.

@lilithsaintcrow Amon Amarth sing a lot about vikings and don't seem to be white supremacists, but I could be wrong.There really needs to be a website that tells you the political affiliations of metal bands.

@thegibson I’ll look it up. I love Trent Reznor as a human being but some of his stuff is hit or miss for me. @kemonine

@lilithsaintcrow Tyr and Ensiferum also seem to not be assholes.It's hard to find concrete information on where some bands stand, unless they are really outspoken about it. A lot of criticism of supposed promotion of far right ideology seems to be people who get paid to complain about stuff going for easy targets.

@machado @lilithsaintcrow All of Black metal is worse-than-Nazi, meaning more Nietzschean.There are some exceptions, like Enslaved, which were more just pure Odinists.Seriously, what most Black and Death Metal bands think about humanity would offend and appall the Nazis.

@amerika Most of Black Metal are just people who like the Silmarilion too much. And a handful of nazis, tankies, ethnostatists, etc. And Death Metal is mostly environmentalists. Aesthetics don't represent actual beliefs.Although solo BM projects, like Burzum, tend to be disproportionately the realm of nutjobs.

@machado Not true at all. The genre of Black Metal was founded on anti-humanism (although Tolkien was a big influence, specifically through Burzum and the Norwegians).There are no Communists in black metal, only pretenders.As far as Death Metal having a huge overlap with environmentalists, no doubt... it was huge. But so were antihumanism, amoralism, nihilism, and a general desire for a human purge.Just look at the earliest proto-death metal like Hellhammer, Sodom, Bathory, Sepultura, Master, Possessed, and Slayer.For Black Metal, we should start with the point where it actually became a recognizable genre, the Nords: Immortal, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Burzum, Darkthrone, Enslaved, Mayhem.Not a bunch of humanists, at all.
