Metal community, all subgenres welcome.

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

Sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it?

Haha I feel you, I appreciate the links people have posted, it definitely helps. I am also very thankful for the reaction that most metalheads have towards these issues. It's great that we care about the community enough to address it's troublemakers rather than pretending they don't exist or it's not a big deal.
