National Socialist black metal

National Socialist black metal (also known as NSBM or Nazi black metal) is a movement within the black metal music genre that promotes neo-Nazism, neo-fascism, and white supremacist ideologies. NSBM artists typically combine neo-Nazi imagery and ideology with modern paganism, Satanism, or Nazi occultism, and vehemently oppose Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from a racialist viewpoint. According to Mattias Gardell, NSBM musicians see their ideology as "a logical extension of the political and spiritual dissidence inherent in black metal". NSBM artists are a small minority within black metal. While many black-metallers boycott NSBM artists, others are indifferent or say they appreciate the music without supporting the musicians. Like Nazi punk, Nazi black metal is not seen as a distinct genre, being "distinguished only by ideology, not musical character".
