==National Socialist Black Metal==
==National Socialist Black Metal==
National Socialist Black Metal (commonly abbreviated as NSBM), is a style of Black Metal that replaces the normal Satanic themes with lyrics glorifying [[nazism]], [[anti-semitism]], [[Aryan]] heritage, [[White nationalism]] and the [[occult]] nature of the [[Third Reich]]. NSBM bands, while often criticising Satanic Black Metal bands for not focussing on [[race|racial issues]], retain the anti-Christian sentiments of normal Black Metal bands.

==Paganism in Black Metal==
Many Black Metal and NSBM bands adopt idealogical tenants of [[Paganism]] as a way of opposing Christianity, and in the case of NSBM, to promote it as an indigenous European "White's only" religion. Pagan symbols, such as rune script, sunwheels, Celtic crosses, and Thor's hammers frequently adorn Pagan Black Metal bands covers and themes from pre-christian European mythology permeate their lyrics.
