don't limit yourself based on a band's lyrical/ideological perspective. There's a lot of really great music out there that's considered NSBM. Fanisk, Graveland, Nokturnal Mortum, Hate Forest, etc...

I think we all go through a phase of avoiding NSBM at some point. I certainly did. I even refused to buy Burzum albums at first because of it being Cymophane Records... and now, a number of years later, I'm about to buy Kataxu and more music from No Colours Records ...

EDIT: additionally, I find that very little NSBM (lyrically/musically) actually promotes their politics and racism. It comes though more via album titles, occasional artworks, but mostly through merchandising.

Personally I think NSBM (philosophically) is probably weaker than ever.

same here. plus, I could really care less. there's only a few bands that I'm really interested in seeing what it is they're blathering on about.

I try to read them all. I read all the linear notes, everything. Before that though, especially with a new band that I'm getting into, I'll read every interview and review I can find, as well as the band's website.

I still read Varg's writings onn Burzum.org, even though many aren't neccessarily directly related to Burzum itself, I do find that it deepens the experience.

well yeah, I'll read reviews and linear notes, but if the lyrics are in a different language and I can't find the lyrics in english online, I'm not going out of my way to see what they're saying

I know many thaty do. I don't since they often sing in my native tongue, which makes for an extremely awkward experience(iwhether it's weird or not, but independent of the lyrics I simply can't tolerate bands that sing in Russian. It just completely demystifyes the music, making it sound goofy). As for Graveland I've never really found them to be that awe-inspiring. I'd rather listen to Summoning.
Infester, Lemming Project- now these provocative bands are actually really interesting to me musically speaking and I can't make out what they're singing about anyway so I feel comfortable listening to them.
Also some non-metal bands like Puissance and Triarii may appear fascist but they're not. Triarii celebrate Roman victories and Puissance only sport this outlook(the destruction of humanity, totalitarian regime, etc) but are reviewed on metal-observer- a site that doesn't tolerate Nazi propaganda, so I feel my conscience is clear thus far.

Or, do. It's not like there's something wrong with choosing not to listen to bands whose ideologies you're opposed to, whether you can "make out the lyrics" or not.

Jesus loves me( ):There's nothing to get here. People should listen to to what they want and not give a flying fuck how others percieve them.
