11) Fuck "Triumph of the Hordes", fuck nazi collaborationism in metal, and let's organize together as antifascist metalheads to make Illinois nazis jump off bridges.

10) just by simply stating that they're not nazis or political, or some bullshit like "you can't agree with everyone you're playing with". As if there aren't 1000 other fests out there and as if we can't see where their sympathies lie.

9) But even more important than these shows not taking place is the metal scene calling out every band collaborating with nazis and isolating them from the scene. It's crazy to see so many bands that participate in these kind of festivals go about their business as usual without any repercussions

8) self-consciously nazi fest that only hides what is completely obvious. Which is made even more with the the location being hidden. Unfortunately for them, we got a tip about the venue that will host this festival, and will promptly let them know about its characteristics.

7) Perversion, Mahr, who might be nazis, might be fence-sitters, but deserve to be called out as nazi collaborators in any case. Suffice to know that it's impossible not to know who Arghoslent is nowadays and also the aesthetics of this festival's imagery (classic Arno Breker style) display a

4) of the anti-systemic hero who is being repressed and announce next day the new secret location, as if you hadn't planned this from the start. The effect of this normalization of nazism within metal culture is evident in even more festivals of this kind coming out. After Metal Threat in 2025,

3) of other bands that swear they have nothing to do with politics whatsoever. Of course, these festivals are often held secretly, or follow the strategy of Kyle Powell's (KEP Productions) Vengeance Fest. Announce the venue, get cancelled, cry about it in an attempt to play the part

2) meaning of course Arghoslent, the transantlantic slave trade themed band, becoming one of the hottest headliners of underground metal fests in the country. It's almost typical nowadays to see a show or a festival headlined by Arghoslent or Grand Belial's Key, their sister band, along with a bunch
