And if you think Burzum is politically neutral, I'd like you to go check out who owns Unholy Records and Cympophane Records, the main distribution channels for Burzum stuff outside of some vinyl. I'll give you a hint.
Oh God, not this again.
The lyrics and songs are not NSBM... I can't understand why people don't keep a friggin wall between the music and the musician. The musician is a nazi, the owner of the records too, but the lyrics... Thos elyrics don't have anything that can be translated to some NSBM ideology at all unless that when Varg wrote "mother nature" in some songs he meant Hitler or the superior aryan race which I really doubt.
I don't want to sound like an asshole at all but I've read all the songlyrics of Burzum and I don't find a single one having something to do with NSBM's ideology AT ALL. If you have one, then please send me the song and lyrics as well.
I still disagree with Drudkh being NSBM, meh... Checking out The Swan Road and Blood in our Wells, the lyrics don't have anything to do with nazism and similar stuff. Patriotic? Of course, but they consist on some old 19-century poetry and it's nothing excessive or with a negative context. Even they current label [Seasons Of Mist] can't stress enough the fact that the band being labeled NSBM is utterly wrong.
link And as far as I know the band put a public statement through SoM
Some members being in Hate Forest [band that is indeed a NSBM one] doesn't mean that Drudkh is NSBM too. Being an extreme nationalist isn't the same as being NS.
If Drudkh is NSBM then peste Noire is the ultimate nazist band. But hey, they aren't.
