Just ban country music and you've covered like 80% of it.
As a fan of the odd bit of black metal, I would appreciate the 20% being dealt with
At least most nsbm sucks and/or have names like "ss wehrwulf division 1488" so it's usually really easy to avoid.
Still, be great to have another tool to filter bands.
Edit: looks like it's going to be based on musicbrainz metadata, checked Burzum because Vikernes is a Nazi and Peste Noir, neither of which have an nsbm tag, nor do Grand Belial's Key or an actual band called Wehrwolf, probably because of how niche black metal is.
I've personally used this list as a place to start, not perfect but it's something. Metallum lyrical content helps as well.
"Wehrwolf" would make for an incredible semi-comedy horror movie. It howls at the moon because it's the one white thing in a black night sky. It definitely dies when someone breaks a WWII tank out of storage and shoots it with a silver tank shell
But there is a load of really dodge black metal that is much more cryptic, not being blatant but made by Nazis like Deathspell Omega, Mgla, Drudkh and Winterfyllth. I've been in the scene a long time and been fooled by some of these.
Oh for sure, there's exceptions to the rule, I've been fooled too. Peste Noir, Drudkh, Deathspell Omega, Burzum all end up on essentials lists, definitely contributes.
