National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM)

National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) is a subgenre of black metal music that openly promotes and endorses Nazi ideology, white supremacy, and far-right beliefs. It combines the aggressive, atmospheric sound of black metal with lyrics and imagery that reflect extremist nationalism and racist ideologies. While musical style varies, NSBM is characterized by its ideological content, often associated with hate groups. It is controversial and widely condemned due to its promotion of hate, intolerance, and historical atrocities, contrasting sharply with the broader black metal scene, which generally focuses on themes like existentialism, anti-religion, and individualism.
