At least those bands' reviews aren't prefixed with shot at the artists beliefs.
Well, considering I'm a Christian myself (though a rather open-minded one), I have a problem with that, which is the primary reason I take an "ignorance is bliss" approach to 90% of black metal and a lot of death metal as well. Pretty easy to do considering you can't understand a word they're saying without consulting a lyric sheet, which I don't.
I understand your point, but considering the history of NS on MR, its really hard not to distance yourself from those beliefs, sort of how Daniel did with the disclaimer in his Graveland review.
I'm not the least religuious myself, but even I find the whole Death to Christ / Christraping blahblahblah not only lame and childish, but (perhaps even worse) unoriginal. It may shock Grandma, but any thinking adult would only shake their heads and laugh, especially since many of these artists are very serious about those beliefs (as opposed to a band like say Venom, which penned their lyrics with tongue planted firmly in cheek).
I don't see how being a nationalist is any worse than penning lyrics about gore, rape, pedophilia and the like, but whatever.
And anybody saying that"LOL,V, those lyrics are justa joke!"
I say, pick up the newspaper sometime and then get back to me, mmmkay?
MR's has a history of NS?
I must have missed something.
