This logo is sus af, trying to figure out if death metal has the same nazi problem black metal does & it's just less well-publicized.
Never trust eagle symbolism.
I saw that in an "is this band fash" space, and I don't recall hearing anything specific.
fuck I was hoping you'd see this post and have an answer, you're like the resident expert
I'm drafting up a post to be pinned here thats kinda similar - "is this artist problematic?" so we can all share info and discuss.
I don't have direct experience with this label, brutal death metal is a little outside of my wheelhouse. I think it's harder to pin down the politics of death metal bands, because the genre is largely "nonpolitical" (in that they don't directly address politics). The shared genre themes tend to be so repugnant that I think bands that aren't reactionary are probably the exception.
Idk, there's only so many violently misogynistic lyrics about hurting vulnerable people before I stop believing that it's "just entertainment". I listen to slam tho, so that's basically the same problem. Idk, just my two cents.
