About NSBM.ORG and National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM)
NSBM has received its fair share of media, but never has had a chance to articulate itself to the world. Portrayed in broad terms of evil and fear, such as "Nazis" or "Nazi metal," the bands of NSBM have been vilified in the press and in popular lore and are considered by many to be the most hateful variant of the White Power music spectrum, as well as the most virile and destructive brand of black metal.
In starting this site, our goal was to expose the artistic side of NSBM and to expound briefly upon its philosophy, so that the world might know things from our side of the fence. Since no media will cover the music or its side of the story, it is upon us here to give a small testament to actuality.
What Is NSBM?
NSBM is a type of "modern" black metal, coming from the movement that arose in Scandinavia during the early 1990s. Many of the bands which initiated this genre, including Burzum, Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Impaled Nazarene, have cited or alluded to National Socialism and its imagery and ethos as part of the inspiration toward their music. Although black metal varies in sound and ideal, it shares across its genre an obsession with darkness and destruction of the Judeo-Christian social ideal, as well as a blistering sound of rasping vocals and distorted, chaotic guitars over droning percussion.
What do NSBM bands Believe?
Although there is wide diversity (snicker, snicker) among the beliefs of the members of the NSBM movement, most espouse some variants of the philosophy and political ideality put forth by Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP in 1930s Germany; many are also inspired by Benito Mussolini, Julius Evola, Savitri Devi and H.P. Blavatsky's Theosophy. Most accept to some degree all of the major beliefs of National Socialism, including ethnic nationalism, a rigid ethos of honor, environmentalism and anti-Semitism.
Speaking for those behind this site, we believe that the modern republics, inspired by Christian and Humanist ideals of individualism and material comfort, have led us into a grotesque error of judgment which has produced a technocratic and symbolically-manipulative society. Our manly values have become passive, and in passivity, we have rejected natural law and nature, replacing it with a human creation of signals and social custom for which there is no natural precedent. Further, our society is currently on a hellbound stampede to eliminate these older ideas, unnaturally so (if they were truly obsolete, they would simply die out) and in the United States at least, people of Jewish and radical right-wing Christian heritage have disproportionate power.
We reject the notion of "God" and of Judean morality; we embrace the ideals of naturalism, paganism, honor, blood and soil. Our goal is to create within society a group where these ideals can be practiced, in which we can begin to repair the damage done to our environment by industry and can have more meaningful lives than the technological drones and their convenience-based, product-oriented lifestyles.
If these ideals are appealing to you, go to our listing of National Socialist groups and begin work as a lone activism or a group member. Popular activities for the newly initiated include flyer distribution, countering ZOG propaganda and public demonstration. The world is always changing, but humanity controls this change, so our goal as awakened humans should be to ensure enlightened rule soon replaces the selfish and destructive chaos that now passes for a society.
