It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

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

Sadly these groups have been around pretty much since black metal started. I usually just try to look up the bands bio. If they're on Wikipedia it will usually say something about it. The lists others posted seem pretty helpful too

Thanks, yeah that's what I've been doing so far but I had to look up so many names before I gave up and tried looking for a more convenient way lol
