Anti-religious music seems to invite anti-semitic people, so I'd guess there are more racist bands in black metal than in other genres. But the majority of black metal bands are not racist. There's a small fraction of bands where we know that some members subscribe to right-wing ideology and some of those bands have racist lyrics, but overall it's negligible.
- tptacek 10y agoIt's several of the most popular Black Metal bands, isn't it?
- butterfinger 10y ago"Popular" is pretty hard to define in a genre like black metal. Looking at "The greatest black metal bands" [0] I found 6 bands where at least one of the members has ties to right-wing ideology with 3 of the bands being outright neo-nazi music.

- kkl 10y agoI think this is true of "Second Wave" black metal bands but less true of more recent output.
- loonattic 10y agoMostly just "NSBM". Usually pretty easy to tell, and not the most popular bands.
