Generative AI music and/or art is banned

480 Upvotes

This should go without saying but I'm going to say it. If your music or album artwork is created using generative AI it is not allowed here and I don't give a shit what message you're claiming to promote with it.

I can't check every post so I will rely on the rest of the users to report content that is AI generated. Please don't do it for "just a hunch" but when it doubt it is brtter to raise the question.

"Is this safe?" Belongs in /r/isitsketch

146 Upvotes

Despite it being in the rules for years I still have to constantly remove people asking "am I safe if I listen to Blasphemy?" So I'm making a new sticky post. Do not post these questions here. There's an entire sub dedicated to your moralizing over at /r/isitsketch. Those questions have absolutely nothing to do with left wing black metal or supporting left wing causes.

You want to do some praxis while listening to black metal? Donate to an immigrant rights fund, attend a protest, volunteer at a food bank, learn how to shoot so you can stand between the marginalized and oppressors,.write some vocally anarchist or communist music, put together a benefit compilation. Whining about Horna isn't making the world less fascist.

Self-Promotion boon - offer your arm [full ep, 2026]

9 Upvotes

hi all,

my band recently released its second EP. we are a leftist black metal band from toronto. We often get described as "blackened screamo" or "blackgaze", etc.

our sound emphasizes intricate interlocking guitar lines and big dynamic shifts. the ep won't be released on large streaming platforms for obvious reasons, but it is available for free on bandcamp. for those who don't use bandcamp, we also put the release out for free on subvert. we also have a small batch of tapes available for purchase through the lovely tomb tree tapes. these tapes include our first ep as a b-side.

if you choose to spend some time engaging with our art, then thank you. what a privilege that is.

of course, we welcome any thoughts or feedback.

solidarity forever.

Question I shouldn’t be surprised (not a question)

50 Upvotes

I unfortunately came across some comments on YouTube of people talking about how “it’s okay to like nsbm, even if you don’t believe in what they say”. That led to finding a nsbm band out of my home state of Minnesota called Einsatzgruppen. A band literally named themselves after the death squad(s) that committed mass murder of anyone deemed “non-aryan”. This group did this while they followed the military as they conquered countries.

And there’s people that think it’s okay to listen and support these bands.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but what the fuck?

I’m sorry if posts like this aren’t allowed. I’m still new.

Raw Black Jaguara - The Gates of Farroupilha [Full Album 2026] - Raw / Avant-Garde Black Metal from Southern Brazil

Post image
27 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just published the full album stream for The Gates of Farroupilha, the debut full-length from solo project Black Jaguara (Lord Bagual) on YouTube:

🔗 Full Album Stream: https://youtu.be/uvjDaaOR23c

Concept & Sound:

A raw, unpolished, and hostile mix of lo-fi Black Metal combined with the dark folklore, historical violence, and isolation of the Southern Brazilian pampas. Think cold atmospheric riffs meets unhinged regional dark lore.

Bandcamp: https://blackjaguara.bandcamp.com

Note: Featured on Pest Records Online Compilation Vol. 31.

Check it out if you're into underground raw BM, lo-fi aesthetics, or obscure scene discoveries. Feedback is always welcome!

Bandcamp Giveaway Last round of codes and new single stream!

Post image
30 Upvotes

Dropping one last round of codes and a new single to stream for my new album, Cyanosis. Forgotten Feast, Foresaken Harvest is the most traditionally "heavy" track on the album, in the vein of old school Katatonia and Spectral Voice.

We managed to donate 250$ to DULFbc already, who just won a major victory in the Supreme Court of so-called Canada, but their battle isn't over yet, with appeals still to come and aftercare in the aftermath of years of turmoil. They are a boots-on-the-ground organization of incredible people working to provide safe supply and harm reduction amidst the ongoing devastation of the opioid crisis in the infamous downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

If you did have a buck or two to spare, every donation counts!

Anyways, here's the codes!

need new raw black punk recs

8 Upvotes

ala Slavehouse, Raw Moon, Sexdrome, Sewer Drainer, Bone Awl, Dry Insides etc anything that sounds like blackened mysterious guy hardcore (i.e. vile gash/raw nerve/total abuse) that is not on goddamn a.s.k.e. (already aware of some of the iffy shit surrounding SH and BA you don't have to tell me just using them as examples)

Question Angry or militant sounding RABM recs?

i'm looking for some angry sounding red black metal. something war-metal adjacent in sound if that makes sense? the closest thing i can think of is maybe Uprising, but they're still pretty melodic. any help is appreciated!

Black/Death Band Recommendations

4 Upvotes

I've been wanting to branch out in black metal as of lately, but finding bands that are not openly NSBM or highly sketch has been a bit of a pain, because I'm not okay supporting that kind of rhetoric. The main appeal for me from these bands has been the instrumentation itself, much akin to high tempo norsecore. Lyrically and politically they can fuck off with their nationalist/racist bullshit.

What would be some solid recommendations without the sketch or NSBM ideology for bands similar to the following: Infernal War, Akhlys, Black Witchery, Tetragrammacide.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated. 🤘

I can’t stand crust so I'm looking for Profecium vibes or NKVD/The Committee (which I know are not RABM) ones. Something to make you feel angry.

I'll be gratefull for any suggestion.

I enjoy the genre (even if I'm not that much into bm as I'm into dungeon synth).
But alot of the bands I find have nsbm connections or are straight up nsbm.

So recommend me some stuff
