Nazi black metal - Definition

National Socialist black metal, commonly known as Nazi black metal or NSBM, is a subgenre of black metal music concerned with ideas of racial separatism and the Aryan race. Their racial and nationalist ideas derive in considerable part from Nazism, though they typically add a focus on virulent anti-Christianity. Along those lines, most bands of this type have adopted variations (with varying degrees of authenticity) of pagan beliefs and traditions, believing them to face destruction by Christian beliefs.

Well-known bands include Burzum, Graveland, Nokturnal Mortum, Thor's Hammer and Kataxu.
