I am ignorant to metal. I had always thought metal bands in general had a hard on for neo nazi shit. This band and their angle have completely upended my beliefs. I am ready and willing to find out ive been dead wrong about metal. Please inform the ignoramus over here.
if you want some fun metal reading you should look up Gaahl

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaahl

In May 2004, Gaahl again received a prison sentence, for aggravated assault.[4] He appealed for a reduced sentence, and in February 2005 he was re-sentenced to fourteen months in prison and ordered to pay the victim 190,000 NOK (about 30,400 US$) in compensation.[4] The incident happened in February 2002 during a late-night party at Gaahl's house in Espedal, when he became involved in a confrontation with a man who arrived at his house. Gaahl was accused of severely beating the man, collecting his blood into a cup and threatening to make him drink it.[4] Gaahl said "I was the one who was attacked, but they think I punished him too hard. As I always say, when people cross my line and I let them know where the line is many steps before they cross it, and still they choose to cross it, then I will be the one to decide what their punishment will be".[9] He also claimed to have given the man the cup "so that he would not make such a mess in my house with all the blood"

Gaahl is openly gay. He is an artist, and has had some of his paintings on exhibit.[26] He is a vegetarian[27] (although one source has claimed otherwise[28]) and is "against drugs and the drug-user mentality".

I mean, the National Socialist Black Metal scene isn't exactly tiny. I think painting with a broad brush is not wise, but I can see why people would be turned off.
It's not tiny but not mainstream either. I'd wager most people with a casual knowledge of metal would know about stuff like Metallica or Slayer or Iron Maiden rather than some obscure nazi black metal band.

A lot of metal is just a generic rebellious stance toward the rest of society. This inevitably results in plenty of nazi idiots being attracted to it simply because it gives them a platform of people who may or may not resonate with their ideas simply because they are extreme.

That said, there are also a lot of great leftist bands like Toxik, Nuclear Assault, Violator (from Brazil) and Vio-lence (great band names, I know!)

There are neo nazi bands for sure, but it's not "in general."

But that doesn't mean they are Nazis. The only real popular band that uses Nazi images is Slayer and in their heydays half the band was Latino.

Tom Araya was tweeting transphobic bullshit recently. No link because I'm not in the habit of cataloguing random bullshit from celebrities but it's out there. Incredibly disappointing but not surprising.

Ughh this kind of rhetoric will just further inflame the already heightened tensions when people need to come together.

Come on guys, don't hate.
