Easy way to weed out NSBM bands?

Hey fellow lemmings, I've recently watched some documentries and read some articles that made me more aware of the existence of NSBM. I love metal, both the music and the culture but I don't want to hear anything related to that specific scene.

I don't want to dicuss the morality of the subject, I just wish to know how I can easily identify if a band I'm listening to is problematic.

I'm aware of Metallum, but that is not always reliable and easily accessible. I am also not able to detect the themes in the lyrics, tbh most of the time I can barely even understand what the vocalist is saying. Thank you all in advance

  • One way is search for 'band name + controversy' or 'band name + nazi' or something similar. It becomes second nature after awhile.

    Conversely, seek out non-problematic black metal - antifascist black metal is a thing.

    • Yeah but that only works for bands that are popular enough that someone wrote an article about.

      That sounds more to my taste haha, do you have any recommendations?

      • Loads :) some of these are not explicitly anti-fascist but they're non problematic.

        • Panopticon
        • Wolves In The Throne Room
        • Blackbraid
        • Dawn Ray'd
        • Iskra
        • The Infernal Sea
        • Azel's Mountain
        • Mizmor
        • Gaerea
        • Nahasheol
        • Auld

        There's also the Anti Fascist Black Metal YouTube channel which showcases antifa black (and other) metal - gets lots of new releases.

        • Thanks, I'll make sure to check them out!
