I see no changes, all I see is racist bassists

But do they still have a bummer drummer?

what about them czarist guitarists...

A sexist singer, perhaps?

Racist Bassist is a killer band name

ohhh u mean the socialist vocalist

"But do they still have a bummer drummer?"

I know what this is referencing dino my boy lol, I was thinking the same thing about the old gg bit

was just gonna comment that

racist bassist is an unreal band name

things'll never be the same

do the AI overlords just censor any signs of the existence of any bands that have fully adopted all the trimmings and signature stylings of classic Nazi Party good-times or am I just oblivious because I find it hard to believe that there isn't already a band out there with Hitler as the frontman, Goebbels on keyboards, Göring on bass, Hess playing drums, etc etc who would be guitarist...?

That’s just the way it is

eva braun

But remember, they're not racists kek It's all projection from the librul media

"Drunk idiot made the lie too obvious and had to be sacrificed a la Tucker Carlson"

great thread

my cat is semi sorta not really but kind of totally named after eva braun

never happened once offstage wtf is goin on drunk guy on stage vibes

o shit I forgot about her and the doggo /bonk

"Drunk idiot made the lie too obvious and had to be sacrificed a la Tucker Carlson"

That's really the vibe here yeah

So basically they are all racist and this was a performative firing so the rest of them could dodge accountability, got it

"wtf is goin on drunk guy on stage vibes" [2]

Thought they did this like five years ago but guess it was watain

Be a 90s BM band and don't get cancelled challenge level: Immortal

average bm moment

"although the band has repeatedly claimed that their Nazi-inspired imagery and lyrics are not reflective of their personal ideologies."

sounds like your average shitty nazi metal band, yawn. No wonder I've never heard of them.

the whole scene is a fucking schroedingers nazi situation

i mean, you gotta give some credit. immediately firing this dude was a good move.

most black metal bands are just like "go woke go broke" and keep on goosestepping.

"the whole scene is a fucking schroedingers nazi situation"

yes, it is only a matter of when not who

If there wasn’t any video they wouldn’t have given a shit, but still, one less racist dork active in metal

isn't this band one of the ones people already know are nazis? who are they trying to fool with this?

plausible deniability

Band shoulda stuck to provocative album covers.

They were all doing the salute to each other backstage in between the intermittent hand jobs. Man just got carried away and took it to the people. Glad they stopped him before he started jerking people off

dude gave the game away, they had to put him down

music is saved

Marduk is so sensitive guys. They should hire a therapist and make a movie like Some Kind of Monster next.

can't be cryptofascist if you tell people about it

Rhyme!!!

fire is the devil hiding like a coward in the smoke

Marskid what was that mate.

drummer bummer

I am here in this thread posting a comment. Yes I am.

Albie the racist...bassist

LOL, this thread

This thread was exactly like I expected.

Racist Bassist is a killer band name [2]

Breaking news, Marduk officially inducted alongside Pantera into the shit-band hof

Bassist is racist lol

Anyone else remember the racist bassist game grumps bit

"Hey guys, you ever read THE BELL CURVE?"
*Vocally mimics the Bitchin Camaro bassline*

One might think any attempt to shake off a sketchy image would be welcomed. Not on Sputnik though.

a friend of mine played support for them last year and they seem to be the most unpleasant people in the world ngl

Racism bad

Lol Kompys

One day we'll all be orange

Satan worshippers fire racist bassist.

are they satan worshippers or Church oF Satanists, though
the difference is level of self-awareness. this seems on the low side.

"One might think any attempt to shake off a sketchy image would be welcomed. Not on Sputnik though."

bands biggest crime was ever putting out wormwood

abruptum is aight

The racist bassist, oh dear

"bands biggest crime was ever putting out wormwood"

World Funeral and La Grande Danse Macabre are much, much worse.

never got around to listening to those but i will certainly take your word for it

I'm honestly shocked they kicked him, there was room for plausible deniability in that video and it's not like black metal audiences always care that much.

We’re still bumping this thread eh

bass bumpers

Sevengill just always being based af

"Not on Sputnik though."

the entire band have always been accused of being nazi fetishists, which is why firing one of their guys for actually doing nazi shit is so house calling the kettle black of them.

> World Funeral and La Grande Danse Macabre are much, much worse.
World Funeral is awesome.

"World Funeral is awesome."

Agree to disagree.

Back in the days, Panzer Division Marduk was generally received as a war themed BM album. I remember being quite impressed by the ferocity of that album. No one was accusing them of anything, other than being loud. That was 24 years ago. Things have changed.

if you were publicly anti-reactionary in the metal scene back then people just called you gay slurs, so ofc there wasn't a lot of open criticism for crypto-fashy stuff like this.

"One might think any attempt to shake off a sketchy image would be welcomed."

You're whining because people see through their facade?...

don't be a nazi. Its not that hard.

"You're whining because people see through their facade?..."

Is it? Or maybe they just want to be clear, for a change?

"don't be a nazi. Its not that hard."

If everyone is a nazi, then what's a nazi?

???? absolutely insane @deathcon you would rather the band be welcoming to a Nazi sympathiser band member rather than kick them out, even if it were a facade?

if everyone is a nazi then everyone is a nazi so therefore there is no nazi just everyone.

brains boiling again

i think he'd probably just rather they weren't nazis, who gives a shit about a nazi band trying to protect their brand by firing the loudest nazi? am i supposed to blow them?

no and no one is saying that. but the sentiment and optics of "we don't tolerate nazis" is a net positive.

except it doesn't really matter because it's nazis saying that

I wonder how many in this thread are blaming Marduk for being nazis (and if they are nazis they should be blame for it, let's not be ambiguous here), and are on the NATO/Zelenski side of the war in Ukraine.

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Race of Bass

"I wonder how many in this thread are blaming Marduk for being nazis (and if they are nazis they should be blame for it, let's not be ambiguous here), and are on the NATO/Zelenski side of the war in Ukraine."

You gonna be brave enough and elaborate on this or do you want us making assumptions about the shit you think you're being clever about.

Surname spelling is hard.

blah blah blah and all burzum fans are racists this is a dumb thread

glad they fired their racist bassist, show em where their place is, make em hide their faces. I thought his behaviour was frankly tasteless, unless of course the allegations made are baseless

bassless you mean

Marduk is racist and so is mah pigs.

i was under the impression that part of the whole concept of marduk was that it was insensitive music so this kinda makes me question anything other than the fact that nazi music is such a small subset that they would lose audience and therefore money from openly supporting such things in todays political climate

"???? absolutely insane @deathcon you would rather the band be welcoming to a Nazi sympathiser band member rather than kick them out, even if it were a facade?"

No idiot, i would rather they just werent nazis at all lol. Im not going to praise them for a performative firing.

What if he's just a grammar nazi and this is all just a misunderstanding?

No Bass For You!

Colton ur comment made me lol

obviously no nazis is preferable. as if it even needs to be said. that's not an option here. the options are 1. allow member that did nazi salute to continue in band. or 2. fire member who did nazi salute. and you are criticising the second option as if there were anything better.
again, no one needs to praise the band for doing this. they've done literally the bare minimum of saying "we don't tolerate nazis"

^ lol

Im not criticizing them for firing the bassist, im saying it doesnt fix the problem and they can still go fuck themselves.

yes you are, you said it was a facade. honestly i think we;re on the same page here in general. but my point is that even just one less nazi is a good thing. 100% less nazis is the ideal situation

The point is that it isn't one less nazi. They just swapped out the overt one for a new covert one

He didn't want to make things perfect, he just hated things the way they are.

I keep thinking this band's name is Marmaduke

marduks of hazzard

marduk ellington

"yes you are, you said it was a facade."

It is both a facade and not a bad thing that they fired the bassist, these aren't mutually exclusive ideas.

While I understand their decision, I'm sick to death of all these pussies in metal getting offended by everything. Metal is meant to be offensive. Even if they were actually racist, which I don't believe they are, I still wouldn't give a fuck. I listen to music for the tunes. I could give a fuck less about someone's personal politics or whether or not they might be "racist". Grow some balls and cry me a fucking river.

You can be offensive without being a nazi. Plus these personal politics aren't like others, when nazis organize it's to do violence against innocents.

Just flashed my ballsack at an old lady but it’s ok because indecent exposure is meant to be offensive

and I'm sick to death of pussies in metal having terrible hygiene and being unable to engage with the world meaningfully, but i guess we can't always get everything we want

"While I understand their decision, I'm sick to death of all these pussies in metal getting offended by everything. Metal is meant to be offensive.

Submitting this low IQ comment to the pasta thread, lmao.

Maybe DarkRecollections meant to say 'grow some balls OR cry me a fucking river.' With AND in there, I'm not sure how to feel when I finish reading. People need to do both at the same time? I get that having balls and crying aren't mutually exclusive, but having balls enough to cry seems a deeper, more poignant statement than originally intended. Hmm.

DarkRecollections refers to the moment your alcohol and internet meme riddled brain tries to remember something important but all you can remember are racial slurs.

Bitching about bitching is just kinda lazy/shortsighted, an entry level 'avoid the issue' stance. This thread doesn't even have an 'offended' tone, guy did something dumb as hell in a band that's actively tried to distance themselves from stupid shit. Band spends the past decade trying to clarify themselves than their newbie replacement bassist sieg heils a couple hundred brits. Don't think anyone's moving their 90s marduk to the recycle bin lol.

Also it's fine to not care personally, but also being annoyed by people who do care is just kind of a waste of energy.

Definitely agreeing with your general point here.
I don't think the bassist is a newbie replacement though, wasn't he on and off with the band and even with them in the early 90s?

I gave metallum a peep when this article first dropped and his tenure was like joined during the pandemic left few weeks ago. He's got no recording credits just a few tours, his own replacement bassist is the one your thinking of, 'devo" who left to do session stuff but answered the call now

oh I'm stupid thanks for clarifying that

Great thread guys.

Hitler was an underachiever.

oh I'm stupid thanks for clarifying that

Great thread guys.

Nazism is a loser script and Hitler was an underachiever.

Authoritarian metalheads fuck off.

subtile variation, the spice of life.

slight variations truly are the spice of life.

I hope the new bassist they get is just racist enough for their tastes, but not too racist

Flug I should give you my number so you can text me when I double post.
