Nazi Black Metal Show Sparks Concern
YLE News reports that an anti-racism non-governmental organization (NGO) in Tampere, Finland is urging foreigners to avoid downtown areas of the city on Friday evening (February 1). The Rasmus Network against Racism and Xenophobia says police have warned them of possible unrest surrounding a concert (poster) to be staged by four neo-Nazi bands.
The groups — DER STÜRMER (Greece), ABSURD (Germany), GOATMOON (Finland) and SATANIC WARMASTER (Finland) — are scheduled to play at a Tampere heavy metal rock club. According to the club's promoter, Toni Törrönen, the concert was sold out well in advance.
The tour is organized by the Pagan Front record label, which bills itself as "the Hammer of National Socialist Black Metal." The Greek band's website praises the Nazis, while former members of the German band are in prison for murder and neo-Nazi activities.
"Based on the information that we have received from various sources, one of which is the police, this concert is going to draw a large number of extremist right wing nationalists into the city," says Peter Kariuki, coordinator of the Rasmus Network's Tampere chapter.

Wait. . .a record label with the name Pagan in it is sponsoring a NSBM show? There's so much irony in the fact that Nazi's hated Pagans.
And branded, Finland has one of the best living conditions in the world, I wouldn't say they're anywhere remotely near the horrible actions of the Nazis. Nazism is facism, Finland is far left of that in their Socialist Democracy.

Nazism and NSBM as a whole are bullsh**! They say they are all about Arian pride and yet praise Satan and Oden. Both dietys dont like raceist! Furthermore 95 percent of NSBM is crap music with not even the slightest bit of intellegence lyricly!
Now playing- Dimmu Borgir "Deathcult Armagedon" :) Its a Happy Friday for me!

But kalis...Satan and Odin do not exist as real entities, they are a belief system within yourself....YOU are Satan, God, Odin or whatever mythical being you choose to idolize....Nazis are thier own god, just as all of us REAL Satanists are....Therefore they do "Like Raceist".....True Satanists bow to nobody...So we dont care what your "Diety" likes....

Yeah I used to listen to Skrewdriver aswell, they got pretty boring pretty quick. Some of those bands are actually not bad if you ignore the bullsh** message they promote.
I don't like black metal. I don't like people forcing hatred or any other views on me either. So NSBM ranks lowest of the low in my books.

I do like NSBM....Its a very extreme form of music and I love that...I am not a Nazi, But I respect them because they are making great music and incorperating their beleifs into it, even though they are frowned upon by the majority. Im not going to overlook this kind of music just because I dont like the fact that they are aryean....They do make great music...Listen to Ohtar sometime, They are exteamly racist, But its good Metal...

Sorry GOD, you just lost all points you had with me. NSBM is frowned upon by the majority because the majority are not blue eyed, blonde hair and pale skined Aryans. NSBM goes way too far with hate in my opinion and the opinions of those with their head screwed on straight even in the slightest. To me there is a line that that must be drawn between being extreme and being completly nucking futs. They go so far as to kill people just for not being of their race. How could you respect that?

Kalis...I like NSBM because it is really good music, I got into some of that music before I even knew it was racist because I like how it sounds....Then I found out that they were all "Nazis" and I wasnt just going to stop listening to it simply because I dont like how they think.....It is stupid to hate people because of thier race, I dont like what they stand for...But I respect them for standing up for it....I hate Christians. but I have a great deal of respect for them because they are still going strong after all the church arsons and the fact that thier beleifs have basically been proved wrong, Same with the jews...It takes alot of balls to still be of the jewish faith after the Holocaust and everything...Thats respectable....I hate Nazis, Christians, Jews, Mormans and basically all people...But I respect them...NSBM does make good music, Try listening to it without listening to the message.

NAZI'S are f***ing idiot's.Only a fool blames his problem's on someone els.If your not rich,You don't have a decent job,Don't have a girl friend etc.But you wanna blame all this on someone who is not like you but somehow has all the thing's you wan't upto and includeing a wife or girlfriend of your race.If your the kind of dummy who'd get mad at that just because.Then you don't deserve any of those thing's & you'll probably never achieve those thing's just because your to busy being jealous of someone who probably has no idea you exist.That's truly pathetic.The sad part is all races engage in this idiocy.Probably since the beginning of time.

"The sad part is all races engage in this idiocy."
Which is why I hate all races (including my own which is caucasion) equally because they all think they are better than everyone else. I don't go as far as hating individuals because of a race issue (hell I don't hate any individuals)
One thing that I dont like is when people call Burzum NSBM. While Varg is an Odalist racist he doesnt incorporate that kinda stuff in his music.

As f***ing odd, crazy and perplexing as GOD has been with me am feeling bad for the guy. Thats some very hard stuff to go through. To have a kid envolved with it is even harder. The only thing I can do is hope for the best. Makes one remember that life is truely preciouse and to not take your loved ones for granted. All the time I heard the news I have been kinda thinking about if it happened to me and what I can do to help someone out and the best I can do is be an ear. GOD has alot on his plate and just hope he will be o.k in the end and find someone strong enough and good enough to fill Daniels shoes.

Its funny how Nazi's use the word "Aryan" to describe themselves. Im sure most people now know that the word is derived from old persian, and sanskrit, that people from the middle east and south asia use the word to describe themselves too. The word Aryan literally translates to Iranian. Which is far from a blue eyed blond haired european. Im not trying to make White Supremacist , or Nazi's look stupid either, i just find it odd.

I hate black metal, and will probably always do. I think it is a joke, perhaps, I am missing what they[black metal musicians] do so well - because it seems like utter crap to me.
I will take metal over black metal anyday, hell, even metalcore is better than that shrieking banshee sh** called black metal.

Black metal is not for everyone. Its a very harsh and extreme form of music. I love it for that and many other reasons. It helped me apreciate my Swedish heritage more. As a Satanist I dont mind the lyrics and embrace them. The vocals are not easy to accomplish and respect the singers of bm for that. Astheticly I love the gauntlets and the art and history involved with the corpse paint. If you dont like it your emo! *LOL* Just kidding about that. Seriousely, if its not for you you wont find me offended.

I do not like Black Metal too much as well but I think that the thing that really drives me crazy here is the fact that some crazy mofos are still doing the Nazis thing after all the sh** that it brought to this world. Truly we can say that we never learned and never will learn from our history, it's just some events that happened to some other people a long time ago...but not us...right !

Well I have Scandinavian blood too - which drew me to bands like Soilwork, Amon Amarth, In Flames, Meshuggah, Scar Symmetry and Dark Tranquility - you get the idea. I happen to love European metal much more than American metal bands. I am not a Satanist, however, I don't condemn or judge anyone who is. I just don't "get" black metal - but - hey everyone has their own preferences, and that is cool.
I think Fuk'in Cradle of Filth gave black metal a bad rep......metal is my favorite music, though.
Actually - I do happen to like Susperia - but i am not sure if they are black metal. They are from Germany, and like other bands -I like Rammstein and Heaven Shall Burn.

Correction on one of my posts - I also happen to think that Dimmu Borgir is decent...they put on a hell of a concert! Once again, GOD, I know you hate Christians, so I will just say I wish you happiness and peace in your life. I turn to God - but you are strong - you will survive.

I dont really consider COF to be BM but I def. agree with it despite how much I love their music they put out from 1996-2000.
I don't know ur taste in music but if you havn't already I would atleast check out later day Immortal and give an honest listen as it is less black metal than their older material.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of straight forward black metal, but the Symphonic and Melodic black metal genres (as well as Blackened Death Metal) are very worthy of checking out. Older day Suidakra and Dissection, as well as Catamenia and the aforementioned Dimmu Borgir are all very worthy to check out for melodic black metal.

Nazis are gay. The japanese back then were pretty dumb too. there are still neo-nazis around today. there is a conspiracy that the nazis today are in antarctica and have high tech weapons and are waiting for their population to rise before they attack. it sounds dumb but there actually is proof. at the end of WW2, 250,000 nazi germans were unnacounted for along with 40 ships that were last seen heading south taking into account the dead and wounded. there has been strange activity going on in anarctica ever since. but like all conspiracies, there is not enough proof for either side of the argument.
anyways, im really sorry about the loss GOD. i cant even imagine how sh*tty anyone in that situation must feel.

WHAT THE FRICK???
they went south, yes. to south America, joseph mengele the angel of death was in peru, as were many other fairly high ranking nazis, this is because germany had treaties with the countries in that area, so they fled there to escape trials, and the nazi hunters that came after.
ii havent got a bloody clue what your on, or on about.
