More metallers claiming they are not Nazis
Finnish folk/pagan metal band MOONSORROW and Faroe Islands metallers T�R, who are currently touring European together under the Paganfest Europe banner (alongside ENSIFERUM, KORPIKLAANI, and ELUVEITIE) have released a joint videotaped statement rejecting rumors that they are Nazi sympathizers in the wake of reports that their April 17 concert in Berlin may be cancelled (as a result of pressure from a local anti-fascist organization).
See the rest of the post for more info and a video of the statement.
I don't have any special knowledge here but I am 99% sure that this is yet another case of volkische, nineteenth century-style imagery being confused with Nazism. In Germany particularly, the connotations of volk metal may touch on peoples' sensitivities, but for the most part this kind of metal is simply too silly (usually in a good way) to be taken seriously.
