Ad Hominem

One may think that Ad Hominem deserves to be falsely linked to NSBM, considering their constant attacks on zionism. However, even left wing nutjobs will point out, everytime they attack zionism, that zionism does not mean anti-semitism. Funny how these left-wingers only say that when other left wingers attack zionism, but when someone who doesn't follow their left-wing political believes attack zionism, it suddenly stops to be true. Regurgitation of the brainless, ladies and gentlement!

Similar to Mayhem and Kvaathan, Ad Hominem likes to provoke, obviously. One may want to point out their song ''Auschwitz Rule'' to accuse them of being National-Socialists. Problem is, nothing in the lyrics of said song can confirm that. Think about Slayer's ''Angel of Death'' song for a minute...

Anyhow, FACTS are there. Ad Hominem's lyrics have proven that they are not what some have accused them to be.

FACTS: Ad Hominem's lyrics on Metal archives

Mayhem

To continue in the vain of ''I can't fucking believe some are stupid enough to think that'', Mayhem is often accused of being Nazis. I will make a link with Kvaathan here, to enumerate something often found in black metal, and that is: IMAGERY! Yes they can sometimes LOOK like some militia-men from a fascist regime, YES they can use certain symbols to PROVOCATE the masses, but still, the facts are there and the facts have proven that Mayhem is not what some accuse them of being.

FACTS: Mayhem on Metal archives, with lyrics etc...

Sargeist

Believe it or not, there are actually individuals who think Sargeist is a neo-nazi band. Just like Nargaroth, those who accuses a band like Sargeist of being National-Socialists know nothing about black metal, and are obviously not the most intelligent people on earth, either.

FACTS: Pretty much all lyrics are found here on the bands metal archive profile

Nargaroth

Yes, Nargaroth. A band that was accused of so many things since its creation, and being Nazi and racist are some of them. Obviously, most Black metal fans know it is not true, but people who make such accusations usually don't know anything about black metal, so the presence of this band here is legitimate.

FACTS: Nargaroth's official website with lyrics and everything there is to know

We will not post any videos of Nargaroth here to respect his copyright. You will notice that all videos posted here are in fact videos posted by the bands themselves, if not, we don't post them.

1837

Pagan folk metal from Quebec (don't worry, we have bands from other places coming!). Just like Forteresse and Brume d'Automne, their patriotism and paganism makes them a really easy target. To add to that, the band is made of members of Kvaathan and Northern Storm! We already proven here that Northern Storm and Kvaathan are not NSBM or racist bands, so we are now doing the same thing for their common project 1837.

Lyrics are in french, and unlike Kvaathan there's no official translation, but I can say that they are pretty much similar to Forteresse's lyrics, only with celtic paganism added to that.

Lyrics (you are always free to translate them): Lyrics for ''Prologue'' (Promo CD)

Manifest written by the band, with English translation!: 1837, Manifeste

Northern Storm

Viking black metal from Quebec. Northern Storm is kind of a brother in arms of Kvaathan, which seems to be one of the reasons why some accuse the band of being NSBM and racist. Funny, considering that we have already posted the proof that Kvaathan is not NSBM or racist. But of course, they say they have other reasons, but still, they have no proof simply because WE have the FACTS and the FACTS don't lie. I fail to see how a band whose main lyrical themes are nature and vikings could be national-socialist and racist, but no need to believe us, simply look at the FACTS:

Facts to be seen on the band's websites:

Facebook

Myspace

Brume d'Automne

Folk black metal band from Quebec. Pretty much like Forteresse, they are an easy target due to their patriotic believes. But again, like every other bands here, these accusations are false. Here are the facts and facts don't lie:

Lyrics for their ''Fiers et Victorieux'' album: On Metal Archives

Kvaathan

Pagan and militaristic black metal from Quebec. A band accused of being national-socialist and racist even before they could even publish their lyrics, so how could people claim they were NS and racists if no lyrics were there to prove it? Ah yes, apparently, the celtic cross on the band's FORMER logo proves it? Didn't know the Celts were National-Socialists. This is pretty much like Pagan Flame here, where antifa uses Heathen symbols to make false accusations. Either way, this logo is long gone and the band made sure that no one would ever misinterprete their ideology anymore. So here are the facts and facts don't lie!

Proof through the lyrics: Four lyrics from the band. Many other lyrics can be found on the net. So let's play a game called ''find the racism!''

Then, the ''racidal ecology'' as they call it!

Akitsa

Akitsa, a cult band from Quebec (see the pattern here?). One in a long list of bands who doesn't do anything politically correct, they have been accused of being a Nazi and racist band for years. Their punkish influence on many tracks, which many associate with ''Rock Against Communism'' probably didn't help, either. Why didn't any of the accusers read the bands lyrics is anyone's guess so here you go:

Buttload of Akitsa lyrics: Akitsa on Metal Archives. Find the racism!

Forteresse

Patriotic and ambiant black metal, from, once again, Quebec.

Link to all of Forteresse's lyrics: Forteresse on metal archives

Few good videos, too:



One of their best songs. Fun story: Some guy who posted a video on youtube really thought Forteresse was a NSBM band.


Notice that for a supposedly NSBM or Aryan Black Metal band, there's not many things that would suggest they actually promote such music.

Pagan Flame

The first of many, and I shall put emphasis on the word MANY, Pagan black metal bands from Quebec (there seems to be a huge circus out there these days, where Heathen bands are falsely accused of being ''right-wing''). This particular band once had to cancel one of their gigs due to threats coming from antifa.

Antifa, of course, based their accusations on, well, pretty much nothing. Oh, sorry, the band's imagery, which is deemed ''nazi'' by antifa. Because apparently, they don't know about the great Pagan symbols, and seem to think that because Nazis have used them it ultimatelly means that every one who uses such Pagan symbols are nazis, too.

I wasn't able to find any lyrics, unfortunatelly. But still, the band is there and by looking at them, one may wonder where are the ''little things'' that could confirm that this particular Quebecer outfit are indeed a nazi band.

See for yourself: Pagan Flame on Myspace

And a few nice videos:





Clearly, this band has everything NAZI in them! Right? (pardon the sarcasm)

Black Metal means War!

Black Metal Against Censorship

Who are we?

Black Metal Against Censorship is a campaign destined to counter the lies forged by various individuals (such as antifa) towards certain Black Metal bands. Metal has never been about being politically correct and metal should never have to deal with censorship.

This blog is not an attack towards others nor a site hosting various useless declarations. We do not believe that making any declarations about certain bands not being ‘’Nazis’’ or ‘’Racially Motivated’’, as these type of declarations always fall on deaf hears. Instead, we present you the FACTS and the FACTS only, because FACTS simply CAN NOT lie. In other words, we will provide people with links towards bands’ websites and lyrics in order to counter the lies. Every time some individuals spreads lies about a band, we will be there to counter these lies with the FACTS.

We are working to make sure that Black Metal fans and black metal bands will no longer have to deal with the threats, lies and intimidation of people who shouldn’t even have anything to say about Black Metal music.
Black Metal fans should take a stand and refuse categorically to listen to the lies and black metal bands should never have to suffer because of the lies of individuals who don't even understand what the art of Black Metal is!

Our weapon is the truth!

Important Note: This website will NOT contain any material from NSBM bands or other bands who spread racial hatred. Not because we do not respect their rights to express themselves, but because as some NSBM band once said: ‘’If you want to start a NSBM band and join the NS movement, you need to be aware that some people will not like it and you need to be strong enough to face the opposition’’. This is a statement we strongly believe in and therefore, only bands that are FALSELY accused will be added here.

However, NSBM bands, and anyone for that matter, are open to support us, just like we support their freedom of expressing whatever they want, no matter what some might say.

Second important note: Bands featured here are not necessarily linked to each other or with us. They may not even know that they are featured here. We do what we do to support them and their fans, period.
